Happy New Year! and then some.....

Well let me be the first to say Happy New Year to everyone! We got back from out little stint in Columbus yesterday, and it was pretty awesome. For those of you who don't know, our friends in Columbus (we call them "the Geese") have been running an organization that basically brings together artists of all types - Music, Photography, Painting, Cooking, Crafting, Architecture, Comedy, Poetry, Playwrights,.....the list goes on. Their organization is called Wild Goose Creative. We totally support them and think you should check them out, go to their website: wildgoosecreative.com
The past 2 years they've held a New Years Festival, which we've been lucky enough to play at. And it was just 4 days of pure fun and learning about everything from cheese to woodworking to local art galleries and shops.

So, as we head into this new year, Common Shiner will be taking the month of January off to recharge, work on new stuff, and basically get our act together and plan for the year ahead (and for some of us, find jobs). But don't worry, we'll still be out and about in Chicago, we won't be holing ourselves up in our apartments.

In the meantime, if you haven't done so, you can go over to SayNoToBadPop.com to download our latest EP, "EPs Never Have Titles" for free!
And be excited, because this year we're planning on playing more festivals, having more mini-tours east, west, north, and hopefully south, and will be trying to play more shows in more places than we have ever before. So just keep us in your thoughts, prayers and headphones, and we hope to see you soon!
