Galway
We return to Galway this Saturday at 9pm!
The best part about this place, besides us and their 4am liquor license, is their Lobster Zone machine:
So, come on out, let us ROCK YOUR FACE OFF, and see if you can catch a terrified crustacean with a claw like he were a Beanie Baby or something. A delicious, soon-to-be-boiled-and-drenched-in-butter Beanie Baby.

Upcoming gigs, including, um, tomorrow
Yep, just a little bit tardy in posting this one. Marketing Fail! But who has time for sissified nonsense like advertising when we work so hard to bring the rock?
Case in point: we learned two new songs this week just for this gig, if by “new” you’re willing to accept that they were actually recorded in 1977 (then made much more famous on a live album recorded in Budokan in...

Poopy's!
Come celebrate the 4th of July with us the way the founding fathers intended: by rocking your sweaty self at a biker bar in lovely Savanna, Illinois by the banks of the mighty Mississippi. This is one of our favorite stops—a friendly venue with an outdoor stage, great atmosphere, and fantastic food. It’s gonna be a great day.
Look, America is 235 years old next week, and that’s...

Spring Tour Kickoff!
Good gravy, it’s been a long cold winter. Are you ready to kick the ice crystals off of your boogie shoes and shake what your momma gave you?
No, I have no idea what any of that means, either.
Let’s explore it together:

Black Saturday at O'Leary's
It’s been a long, hard road trip this summer. We slaved across Iowa and western Illinois, learning about intradealer rivalries in the Harley-Davidson world and the terrible fashion errors that can result. It was horrible, draining, I tell you.
And so it is with much relief and joy that I report to you today we are RETURNING, MOST TRIUMPHANTLY, to our south side roots.

Gig this weekend: Poopy's
Late breaking news: we will be continuing our Mississippi Valley 2010 Fall Tour this Sunday, September 5, at Poopy’s in Savanna, IL. 1pm - 5pm. This place really has it all, according to their website:
Tattoos and piercings
A bar / restaurant
Motorcycle parts and accessories, including clothing
Given that, it’s possible we’ll never come home, so do make the effort to get out...

The Girl in the Lime Green Top
It’s often the case when we play outdoor summer festivals that the colors of the crowd swirl together into a ruddy brown stew. Everyone’s tan, to start with, and then the heat and humidity seem almost to coax the dirt up from between the blades of grass and onto the bodies and clothes we see from the stage. The warm orange of the setting sun heightens the effect, further blending the...

Back to Galway's
The Recliners are very excited to be returning to the scene of our most facemelting, rippingest set ever:
Galway Bar & Grill Elmhurst, IL 60126 Saturday, May 22, 9:30pm
(It’s just east of I-294. On our map it looks more like Westchester than Elhmurst, but who are we to quibble?) Anyway, the last time we played there we pretty much tore a hole in the space-time continuum and we expect...

Oops: Comments Disabled
There’s never a lack of drama on the internets, is there? We had a little problem with a spam attack over the weekend here at Club Recliner and since we don’t have a lot of time to moderate, etc., we decided to just shut them down. Sorry for the inconvenience, but it looks like no one but the spammer had availed themselves of that feature anyway.
I know it’s just like that...

New club: Galway Bar & Grill
We’ve really enjoyed our time off over the holidays. It’s always good to build unbridled rage recharge the creative spirit by spending time with family.
With this lengthy separation, we haven’t really had a chance to chat about some important milestones. Gary and John Recliner are each a year older since last we spoke, and we’ve crossed the three year anniversary of the...

We’re excited to be using technology from the good folks at Tumblr. It’s a microblogging site designed to be...
