After a relaxing few days of not needing to deal with each other, CHIN STRAP has resumed musical activities. The immediate results: several shows in the coming month, and several new songs to play at them. We will definitely be kicking it in the Boston area this time, within the city limits.

Uncle Eddie's is done and we sure had a good time, but what the hell is up with the police situation on Salisbury Beach? On our way in we saw some dude getting pulled over by three squad cars; there was a special operations van parked right on the roundabout. This ain't Detroit, guys... this is the North Shore. Lighten up.

It's about time for us to play some shows closer to Boston, eh? Manchester and Salisbury are cool, but we know where our bread is buttered.

Sammy's was awesome.

CHIN STRAP will be bringing a steaming pile of CDs to the show at Sammy's Patio next Friday. If you've ever even thought about wanting one, this is your chance.

Also, Sean, you kick ass:

Thanks to everybody who came out to support the cause at the Middle East on Friday. We had a great time, and hopefully we'll do it again soon.

On deck: Copperfield's, Jan 24th. No major holidays to contend with.

Holy shit, that was a year? New shows are now up, old shows and their photographs will be up. New audio, perhaps new video if we can track anybody down.

Happy New Years and some other shazbot. We've got a show coming up on Feb. 16th, at O'Brien's. It's a Saturday night and football season will be over. Be there or be an asshole!

Pictures and perhaps video from the previous gig might or might not be upcoming. Who really knows?

Lastly, that's a mailing list up there on the right. You (yes, you) should enter an email address and sign up. Maybe I'll send something out, and if you aren't on the list, you won't see what could very well be a life-changing document.

This simple, bare-bones web site is pretty much up and running now. Some more content (pics, audio, etc.) is coming soon.

Web site: begin. This update is intended to clutter up the front page and increase load time.

Mission successful!
