"You've no idea how pleasant it is not to have any future. It's like having a totally efficient contraceptive."

That, the title, read the book it's from.

Then, rejoice, because the Hillbillies are coming out of hibernation. Oh yeah. After months and months of waiting a new show has been tentatively (and I stress the word, tentatively, because of the source. cough*Triz*cough) scheduled for April 24 at, surprise surprise, Chicago St. Pub.

It may seem like the bar is mentioned excessively, and it is, but that would stop if they would quit booking such fantastic acts, and The Righteous Hillbillies are about as fantastic as they come. Especially if you like to get drunk and rowdy listening to what may be the best unheard-of band in the whole damn world.

When it comes back in stock, you can buy their self-titled, debut CD here.

And, no. I'm not exaggerating.
