6/16/08 - Hey everyone!

You may have noticed that OM is playing fewer shows now than in years past.  We could simply blame BC for spending time on his newest passion .... beekeeping.

The reality is that we are playing less because of family and work responsibilities (starting families, taking time for vacations, promotion "opportunities," beekeeping, etc.).  While our love for rock n' roll hasn’t changed, our time spent rockin' has changed a little.

We feel very fortunate to have played so many amazing venues and gotten to know so many fans along the way.  Special thanks to our fans for continuing to support us and for spreading the word that Old Mil is a fun live band with a nice group of guys.  We love doing what we do, and we promise to make our upcoming shows really count.  We hope to see you at our next show in Thiensville, and many more after that!

OLD MIL
E-Rox, Slim, Chimmy, and B.K. - The BeeKeeper


6/02/08 - Another perfect day for Club Tap Corn Roast! What a great little festival.  Next up is Stone Bank Fireman's Picnic on June 7th!  We had a rockin' good time last summer, and we hope you can join us this Saturday!


5/18/08 - The outdoor season is officially here!  The weather was perfect for Beer Gardens and Hart Fest.  Take a look at the photos, check out our upcoming schedule, and we hope to see you this Summer!


5/04/08 - We had a great time partying with everyone at BuBs Irish Pub!  Pictures are posted.  Now it's time to head outdoors for the next 5 months!  Check out the upcoming shows page ... we hope to see everyone at Molly's Beer Garden and Hart Fest this month!


4/27/08 - The party at Ale House was off the charts, as usual.  In fact, there were a TON of new people in attendance grooving to the sounds of OLD MIL.  Thanks to all the groups and parties that came through and introduced yourselves during the night (bachelorette, birthday, welcome back, tailgaters, etc.)!

It's hard to believe we only have one more indoor show this Spring - BuBs Irish Pub on Saturday May 3rd!  Then, we kick off the outdoor season with Oshkosh Beer Gardens on May 16 and Wauwatosa's Hart Fest on May 17.  See you soon!


4/21/08 - Holy Moly!  Rooters was chaotic on Saturday night ...  Thanks to our good friends, Fat Bottom Special, for sharing the stage with us.  As always, it was great to see our usual fans, celebrate a couple birthdays, and meet a bunch of new fans!  Pictures are posted in the Gallery.

We have a couple more indoor shows ...  Milwaukee Ale House on Saturday April 26 and BuBs Irish Pub on Saturday May 3rd!


4/15/08 - Happy Tax Day!  OLD MIL has a Rockonomic Stimulus package in store for you.  Join us April 19th as we tag team Rooters Waukesha with our good friends, Fat Bottom Special!  It's simple rockonomics: 2 bands for the price of 1!  OLD MIL kicks off the show at 9 PM, and we alternate sets until 2 AM ... that's a lot of rock n' roll for one low price.


4/6/08 - The Brewers improved to 4-1 on Saturday afternoon!  OLD MIL and a few hundred friends got things started at Leff's big-time tailgate party ... great weather, tasty beer, and solid tunes from rock n roll history provided by yours truly!  Opening Day was a doozy, and Game 2 was just as crazy.  Go Brewers Go!

Next up in April, we're teaming up with Fat Bottom Special at Rooters, and returning to downtown's premier microbrewery, Milwaukee Ale House!

3/9/08 - Yeah ... Coach House Grill rocked pretty hard this weekend!  It was great to see a nice big crowd as soon as the show kicked off.  Thanks so much for spending your Saturday night with OLD MIL!

There are still lots of reasons to celebrate in March: We'll be at Rooters Friday 3/14 with the stage facing the bar!  If it gets too packed, you'll just have to stand closer to everyone (or head up to the balcony and shoot some pool).  Then on "Good Friday" 3/21, we are back at the mighty BuBs Irish Pub.  See ya soon!


2/24/08 - Milwaukee Ale House has become a 2nd home for OLD MIL.  The fans are always fired up, dancing from the very first note until last call, and the staff is always friendly and supportive.  Last night was PACKED.  We celebrated a ton of birthdays, and pictures are posted!

There are lots of reasons to celebrate in March: March Madness, St Patty's Day, Easter Break, and the start of Baseball Season.  We have three shows at top area venues ... check our schedule and make plans to come out and party with us!


2/10/08 - Oshkosh never disappoints.  That place rocks so hard.  Thanks for partying with us.  Pictures are posted!

We do not have a show this coming weekend.  Have a great Valentine's Day, and join us at Milwaukee Ale House on Saturday February 23rd!


2/03/08 - The famous Groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, saw his shadow Saturday, which forecasts six more weeks of winter.  Oh well, we're in Wisconsin ... we can handle it!  OLD MIL rolled into Eagle, WI on Saturday night, and heated up Knucklehead Pub with some tasty rock n' roll (In fact, the patrons and bartenders were pretty hot too).  Pics are posted!

Next up is the Annual Mardi Gras Party at French Quarter.  If you don't know ... you better ask somebody.  See ya Saturday February 9th in Oshkosh!


1/27/08 - Rooters was off the charts on Saturday night!  What a great show to kick off 2008.  Congrats to Bob and Lindsey on their engagement, and thanks to all their friends for rockin' the VIP section!  It was nice catching up with our loyal fans. We also met the newest members of 76 Juliet and First Kiss ... thanks for coming up and saying hello!

Next up: Knucklehead Pub on Saturday 2/2!  Three shows in February, three shows in March, and three shows in April. Join us!


1/20/08 - Greetings fans.  OLD MIL has been hibernating in January, and we're finally hitting the stage at Rooters this Saturday, 1/26!  This time, OLD MIL kicks off the show at 9:30 PM, and our good pal Ryan McIntyre will be playing on our breaks, so get there early and catch a full rock show from OLD MIL!

Our 2008 schedule is filling up, so take a look at our upcoming shows, and we hope to see you soon!


1/1/08 - Happy New Year and Welcome to 2008!  We have to thank the staff at Milwaukee Ale House for putting on the Best New Years Eve Party and hiring OLD MIL year after year!  Next, we have to thank the fans!  That was the wildest NYE party yet, since there were just as many people at 2 AM as there were at Midnight.  The energy level was so intense, that we refused to take a break ... our final set was nearly 3 hours long.  Most importantly, pictures are posted!

Take a look at our upcoming shows page and make plans to catch up with OLD MIL in 2008!


12/16/07 - Happy Holidays Everyone!  After a month hiatus, OLD MIL hit the stage at Rooters this past weekend, and it's great to be back.  Pictures are posted in the Photo Gallery.  It was so nice to see our usual fans and meet a few new people ... this thing keeps getting bigger and bigger.  THANKS!

Next up is New Years Eve at Milwaukee Ale House. There are no confusing packages or price levels ... it's simply $10 at the door (best deal in town).  Our recommendation: Get a group together, make dinner reservations (414-226-BEER), and get inside early!  It's gonna be huge. Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!


11/18/07 - Greetings Fans!  Slim is back from Mexico ( and he's still not very tan), and now Bearcave is off to Arizona for a couple weeks!

Pictures from BuBs are finally posted!  We'd like to apologize for the technical difficulties at BuBs, which caused us to start an hour later than expected. Thanks to the fans for waiting it out and partying with us all night, and thanks to Dave Dec and the Eliminator Crew for saving the day!  We decided to play our entire show until 2 AM without a taking a break.  We hope to see Scott Pecor and the gang at BuBs in early 2008!

We are taking time off to celebrate Thanksgiving with family and gear up for December and the New Year.  Due to circumstances beyond our control, the show at Dry Bean Saloon in Madison has been cancelled.  Our next show will be Friday December 14 at Rooters, featuring special guest Ryan McIntyre.  And we'll close out the year once again at Milwaukee Ale House on New Years Eve!


11/04/07 - We have one more show in November ... Join us this Friday November 9th as OLD MIL returns to one of the area's finest music venues, BuBs Irish Pub in Germantown!  No alternating sets or opening act ... just OLD MIL!

Pictures from our Rooters show w/Ryan McIntyre have been posted. The house was a-rockin!  We'd like to thank our loyal fans for all your support. OLD MIL has been awarded Best Local Band from wisn.com, and we just received word that we are nominated for Shepherd Express Cover Band of the Year!  These awards are solely driven by fan votes, so we literally couldn't have done it without YOU!


10/28/07 - Congrats to all the winners in the Halloween Costume Contest!  We had a blast rockin' the Milwaukee Ale House on Saturday night, and it was especially cool to celebrate Halloween with a couple hundred friends at our favorite Brew Pub!  Pictures of all the crazy costumes are posted in the Gallery.

OLD MIL returns to the Big, Big Stage at Rooters on Friday night November 2nd with special guest Ryan McIntyre opening the show!  We had so much fun at Ryan's Birthday Party a few weekends ago that we've decided to have Ryan jam a few songs with us during our set!

The Milwaukee Bucks Home Opener takes place Saturday night November 3rd, and OLD MIL performs live in the Bradley Center Atrium!  Doors open at 6 PM, and we will play from 6:00 PM to 7:20 PM.  Pick up some tickets, come on down early, and catch our set!

10/08/07 - We have a couple weekends off, and I think we're gonna need it to recover from our weekend at UW Oshkosh.  Man, that place knows how to party!  Pictures from French Quarter and "Tent City" are posted.  It was great seeing so many familiar faces this past weekend!

Next up, we're heading to Milwaukee Ale House for a Halloween weekend party!  Costume contest details coming soon.


09/30/07 - It was a big weekend ... Packers are 4-0, Rox and Slim celebrated birthdays, and we had a great time rockin' the Dry Bean in Madison!

09/09/07 - Can you believe Packer Season is already here!? St Gregory the Great Parish Festival was the perfect ending to our  Summer Festival Season.  Thanks to all our rowdy friends for coming out and supporting OLD MIL, and it was great meeting so many new fans of all ages on Saturday!  As always, the latest show pictures are posted.

Now it's time to head back to the bars. This Fall, we are hitting big venues in Milwaukee, Madison, and Oshkosh, including multiple gigs with Singer-Songwriter Ryan McIntyre and another huge NEW YEARS EVE show at Milwaukee Ale House!  Hopefully we'll get a chance to hang out soon!


09/03/07 - Hey, this is Slim - Happy Labor Day everybody!  Pictures from the weekend have been uploaded.  We have one more outdoor show and it's gonna be huge!  Join us this Saturday September 8 at St. Gregory the Great Parish Festival (60th and Oklahoma).  There are THREE STAGES on the grounds featuring OLD MIL, The Toys, and Chasin Mason playing at the same time.  We're pumped to "bring the rock" to the 60th Street Stage from 6:00 PM to 10:30 PM!

We had an amazing time at Waterfest in Oshkosh, WI. The Leach Amphitheater is one of the nicest outdoor venues we have ever played.  The staff was so helpful, and it was a pleasure to share the stage with Five Star Iris from Atlanta.  The perfect weather kept up as the sun went down and Smash Mouth rocked thousands of fans into a frenzy.  We're hoping to come back next Summer!

DJ T has informed us that he was able to turn a profit for his 2nd Annual Endless Summer Party!  Proceeds will benefit Children's Hospital of Wisconsin.  Thanks to everyone who showed up to support a good cause.  It turned into one big jam session with Ryan McIntyre, Craig Walkner, and DJ T joining in with the band.  Check out the pictures!

August is winding down, and we only have a few more outdoor shows left!  The good news is that these concerts are SUMMERTIME EVENTS with special guests and entertainers throughout the day.  Live Music + Cold Beer + OLD MIL = Great Times.

This Thursday evening, 8/30, OLD MIL heads up to Oshkosh Waterfest to open up for Five Star Iris and Smash Mouth (Walkin' on the Sun, All Star, I'm a Believer). OLD MIL kicks things off at 6 PM, and the action takes place at the new Leach Amphitheater.

Then on Saturday, 9/1, we're raising money for Children's Hospital at "DJ T's Endless Summer Party!"  This event will be held rain or shine at Saukville's Grady Park Pavilion.  Ryan McIntyre takes the stage from 3 PM to 7 PM, and OLD MIL finishes out the night from 7 PM to 11 PM.  More info at www.kidsfundwi.com!


08/19/07 - There is still plenty of rock n' roll to be shared this Summer, so make plans to catch OLD MIL before August runs out!

We'd also like to take a minute to announce a special charity event taking place on Saturday, September 1st.  OLD MIL is teaming up with Ryan McIntyre to raise money for Children's Hospital of Wisconsin at "DJ T's Endless Summer Party!"  This event will be held rain or shine at Saukville's Grady Park Pavilion (3 PM to 11 PM).  More info at www.kidsfundwi.com!


08/13/07 - Wisconsin State Fair and Two Rivers Fireman's Picnic are "in the books!"  We had nice weather and hospitality during our first show in Two Rivers on Saturday night.  And State Fair was a virtual "Who's Who" of OLD MIL fans over the past five years.  It was great seeing friends and family in attendance and meeting all the new people this past weekend.  Check back Monday night for pictures ...

This Saturday, OLD MIL heads south on I-94 to St. Rita's Parish Festival in Racine.  Free parking, free admission!  OLD MIL alternates sets with Cold Sweat between 6:30 PM and 11:30 PM, so the rock never stops ... don't miss it!


08/08/07 - On Saturday, August 11, OLD MIL heads north on I-43 to meet the good people of Two Rivers, WI and rock the Annual  Fireman's Picnic! A few facts about Two Rivers/Shoto: the area is located just north of Manitowoc, there are indeed two gigantic rivers nearby (with only one name, the Twin River), and it is the REAL birthplace of the Ice Cream Sundae.

This is the closest we'll get to Green Bay all Summer, so we're hoping to catch up with some of our Green Bay and Fox Valley fans!

Then on Sunday, we return to Saz's High Life Pavilion at Wisconsin State Fair! This is the LAST DAY of State Fair and we're playing the Saz's High Life Pavilion, an outdoor beer garden/restaurant next to the Giant Yellow Slide. It doesn't get any easier to remember. Tell the kids, friends, parents, neighbors, siblings, and grandparents to come see OLD MIL from 5 PM to 9 PM on Sunday at State Fair!


07/31/07 - The first batch of Photos from our Marathon O' Rock Weekend have been posted!  So far, we have Bradford Beach Jam and Paulie's Pub Festival.  Falls Fest pictures are coming soon!

Thanks to everyone who came out and partied with us this past weekend.  We had beautiful July weather, and the Summer is going by FAST!  Check out our August Schedule and make plans to enjoy the great outdoors with OLD MIL.


07/09/07 - We had an incredible Old Mil weekend.  Summerfest was better than we could have imagined - perfect weather, a nice Friday evening timeslot, a great crew at the Miller Oasis, and an impressive showing from family members, friends, and loyal fans (from Wisconsin, both coasts, and everywhere in between)!  Pictures are already posted ... Special thanks to Travis, Brooke, Terra, and Lynn for snapping a variety of band and crowd shots.

Ashippun Firefighters Picnic was another amazing show.  90+ degree temperatures couldn't keep people from rockin' with Old Mil all night long.  The weather was hot and the people were hotter ... check out the pics courtesy of Paul and Bradley!

We're taking a couple weekends off, but we'll be back with a Fri-Sat-Sun marathon show weekend at the end of July, including Bradford Beach Jam on the lakefront, Paulies Pub Festival in West Allis, and Falls Fest in Menomonee Falls!


07/02/07 - Happy Independence Day everyone!  OLD MIL has two big shows coming up this weekend.

We can't wait to return to "The World's Largest Music Festival," Summerfest this Friday! Come on down to the Miller Lite Oasis Stage on Friday, July 6th and party with OLD MIL from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM!

Summerfest News: We are proud to announce that OLD MIL will be performing at "The World's Largest Music Festival," Summerfest this year!  We landed an impressive Friday night slot at the Miller Lite Oasis stage ... the Summerfest website confirms it!  Make plans to party with OLD MIL on Friday night, July 6th, from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM!

05/29/07 - We hope you all had a great Memorial Day Weekend! OLD MIL returned to Badger Bowl on Saturday night and rocked the house ... pics are posted!

We have two big shows for the first weekend in June.  On Friday night June 1st, Old Mil is playing the Old German Beer Hall on Old World Third Street (that's a lot of cool "old" stuff in one sentence)!  Once RiverSplash shuts down, step inside Milwaukee's authentic Hofbrau Haus for a special RiverSplash Post Party!  Old Mil hits the stage around 11 PM to take you all the way to bar time.

Then on Sunday June 3rd, Old Mil returns to the Club Tap Corn Roast!  This outdoor, daytime event was one of our favorite shows last summer and we're excited to be back.  Come on out to Wauwatosa's Club Tap tavern for an afternoon of beer, brats, corn, and live music!


05/20/07 - We got a taste of the outdoor season with Hart Fest this past weekend! Thanks to everyone for joining us on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.  It's always great working with the LoveMonkeys, Steelheads, Eliminator Audio, Rick Bauer, Mike S from Leff's, and all the Tosa public servants and volunteers!

For those of you who like your music loud and late, we have a couple more indoor shows remaining (21 and over).  Next up is Badger Bowl on Saturday May 26.  There is a huge Brat Festival taking place at the nearby Alliant Energy Center grounds, so when the fest shuts down, swing on over to Badger Bowl!  They have some of the best drink prices in the state.


05/13/07 - Pictures from the weekend are posted!  Our first outdoor show of 2007 was just as wild and crazy as we expected.  I'm sure the pitchers ... I mean pictures will say it all.  And we had a great time rocking out at Coach House Grill on Saturday night!  Now we just need a nap.

Next up is Hart Fest, an all-ages outdoor show in the village of Wauwatosa (under the Harmonee St Bridge)!  And we finish out the month at Badger Bowl, a 21 and over show taking place on Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend.  Join the rock n' roll frenzy!


05/08/07 - OLD MIL has two big shows this weekend starting with the famous Oshkosh Beer Gardens on Friday night. If you are anywhere near the Fox Valley, you'll want to come experience one of the wildest parties of the year.  OLD MIL headlines Molly's Beer Tent from 7 PM to 11 PM (yep, we're playing outside for the first time in '07).  Get there early to check out local rock heroes "The Bakers" beforehand.

And we return to the Milwaukee area on Saturday night to rock Coach House Grill, a great local venue remodeled for live music. This place has it all - huge bar, arcade games, corner stage, softball diamonds, restroom facilities ... you get the idea.  Join us for one of our last indoor shows of Spring ... we play 9:30 PM to 1:30 AM!


04/29/07 - Another Killer Show at French Quarter!  The party never seems to end in Oshkosh, so we're heading back up in a couple weeks.  Mark your calendar for the first outdoor show of the year, the annual Beer Gardens on Friday May 11th!

And if you're looking for something to do this weekend, our bassist The Bearcave is playing on Saturday May 5th with classic rock band "Otto Day and the Nites" over at the Railroad Station in Saukville. Start time is 8:00 PM.


04/22/07 - Thanks to the mighty fans in attendance, OLD MIL and Fat Bottom Special raised the roof at BuBs on Saturday night! 

There were so many celebrations, it will be difficult to list them all here, but let's give it a shot ... a wedding reception joined FBS on stage, Katie Mac provided birthday spankings for her friend Jamie, longtime fan Jessica celebrated her 30th b-day, we dedicated "Beverly Hills" to a fan moving to California, and an engagement proposal was accepted during one of our tunes!  Did we miss anything?

On top of that, OLD MIL and Fat Bottom Special provided a significant amount of rock n' roll mayhem. Check out the photos!  

We'll be rockin' Oshkosh for our next two shows, and our Summer Schedule already includes the best area festivals ... Summerfest, State Fair, Waterfest, and more!


04/07/07 - Photos from Leff's Lucky Town (Holy Thursday Batman!) have been posted ...  what a great night!  So many familiar faces in attendance, and we hope to have brought in some new fans.  Leff's is always packed, but throw OLD MIL and some Pabst silos into the mix, and you have a boilermaker.

Keep an eye out for the new poll each week from local sportscaster Doug Russell (Sports Radio AM 1250).  We hope to see you at BuB's Irish Pub on April 21 when Fat Bottom Special and OLD MIL promise to tear the roof off o' BuB's!


04/04/07 - Here it is ... the brand new website layout for oldmil.net! Thanks to Steve James from Stream Creative for designing an amazing new website for us, and thanks to our website sponsor, Current Electric.

Take a look around ... we still have all the convenient pages you've grown accustomed to, including a full list of upcoming shows with maps and detailed descriptions, recent show pictures, and all the latest news from OLD MIL.  We also added new features including easy-to-use mailing list signup, new member bios, online Merchandise store, and a brand new media page featuring professional videos from Elite Productions.  Plus, we will have a weekly poll created by local sportscaster, Doug Russell, from AM 1250!

As if that isn't enough excitement, OLD MIL is playing a special early show (8 to 11) at Leff's Lucky Town on Thursday evening April 5th ... HOLY THURSDAY BATMAN!  Be prepared to call into work the next day from a "rock hangover"


03/26/07 - The new website design will be launched next week!  In the meantime, check out pictures from Dry Bean Saloon in Madison, and thanks to everyone who came from near and far for our biggest Dry Bean show yet!

Holy Thursday Batman! OLD MIL will return to the stage on Thursday, April 5th for a special early show (8 to 11) at Leff's Lucky Town.  If you can't wait that long to rock, you can check out E-Rox on Saturday March 31st performing in a Cinderella Tribute Band for Spoof Fest 2007!  Check Vnuk's website for the latest information.


03/11/07 - The drummer didn't light himself on fire, but nobody seemed to mind.  Everyone was too busy enjoying a cocktail, celebrating a birthday, relishing the first Spring-like weekend, or whatever else brought you downtown on a beautiful March evening.  Thanks for coming out and supporting OLD MIL at one of our biggest Ale House shows yet ... It appears that Milwaukee Ale House will be hiring us once again for New Years Eve!  Brooke did a great job navigating through the crowd and taking pictures, which are currently posted on the Pictures page.

We'll be back in Madison on Saturday March 24 at the Dry Bean Saloon, and this time we are bringing our good friend Ryan McIntyre!


03/05/07 - It's always fun to head back to Madison, and Badger Bowl is a great little place.  Actually, it's a great BIG place.  Thanks to our loyal and growing Madison following (and those Milwaukee people who made the trek) for showing up and supporting OLD MIL!  We'll be back in Madison on Saturday March 24 at the Dry Bean with our good friend, Ryan McIntyre!

The fans have been asking about Milwaukee shows, and next up is Milwaukee Ale House on Saturday March 10!  Enough said.  We'll see you there!


02/18/07 - I honestly think we would play Oshkosh every weekend if we could.  That place rocks!  Our original fans continue to show up and support OLD MIL, and we're meeting tons of new people along the way.  Thanks for saying hello and introducing yourselves!  We are looking forward to Graduation Weekend (Fri 5/11 - Beer Garden at Molly's Bar).  Brooke snapped the photos, and they are posted in the usual place.

Which leads us to March ... Next up is a Brand New venue for OLD MIL, Badger Bowl in Madison, a sports & recreation center (and bar, of course) that hosts live music every weekend!


02/11/07 - Rooters ... Wow!  That was a lot of rock n' roll craziness packed into one fine evening.  We are sharing the bill with Ryan McIntyre again in March, so check the shows page and make plans to catch OLD MIL again soon!

As you may have noticed, OLD MIL is branching out in 2007 to Fox Valley and Madison venues.  Thus, our next three shows take place in Oshkosh, Madison, and Milwaukee respectively.  This Saturday, February 17, come out to French Quarter in Oshkosh for their annual Mardi Gras party with OLD MIL!


02/05/07 - The stars were aligned for OLD MIL on Saturday night.  On the coldest night of the year, we had a HUGE crowd at Knucklehead Pub, including birthday celebrations, bachelorette parties, an all-night visit from Fat Bottom Special, sportscaster Doug Russell's entourage, and many of the diehard OLD MIL faithful!  Thanks for making the trek everyone, and special thanks to the new fans who introduced themselves throughout the evening!  Take a look at the pictures to see the excellent light display provided by Eliminator Audio (photos courtesy of Michelle).  Looking forward to our next visit to Knucklehead Pub!

The buzz keeps growing for our upcoming Rooters show on Friday February 9th.  OLD MIL will be alternating sets with Ryan McIntyre, and it sounds like this might be one for the record books.  At least bring a digital camera so you can remember being there with your friends ... that's what we do!  Hope to see you all in February.


01/28/07 - Things are starting to look great for OLD MIL.  The Dry Bean did not disappoint on Friday night.  In addition to our loyal Madison crew, we had quite a few Milwaukee area fans take the road trip with us.  And the house-was-a-rockin' ... of course!  Brooke snapped the photos, and pics are posted in the usual place.

We have an exciting February coming up with two Waukesha area shows and another trek to the birthplace of OLD MIL, UW-Oshkosh!  Come out to Knucklehead Pub this Saturday February 3.


01/08/07 - First of all, we need to thank our loyal fans for constantly promoting the band.  Word of mouth is traveling fast, and the OLD MIL show on Saturday was proof!  According to the owner of BuB's Irish Pub, Saturday night was one of their biggest night's ever ... not bad for the weekend after NYE!  We are excited to keep the momentum going, and we look forward to bringing our fans something new at every single show in 2007.

Next up is the Dry Bean in Madison and Knucklehead Pub in Eagle!
