Thanks to everyone who came out to see Kilroy at SXSW! Congrats to Jeff Mues of Dallas who won the Fender Strat that the boys were playing during the show. After putting 23,000 miles on our van since last October (in direct violation of our 15k mile lease limit per year), we gave her a good bath and are letting her take a nap - we're taking some time off too. Kilroy is busy writing and resting. We'll come up for air in this summer... Stay tuned.

Thanks to everyone who came out to see us in NYC and DC last weekend! The Kilroymobile logged over 1,500 miles in four days and we're just resting up now for two shows this weekend in Wisco and a Packers' win on Sunday!
|
| After playing in NYC on Friday night, we packed up the van and headed south down 95. We rolled in to DC mid-morning, rested, watched the Packer game and heading to the Grog to play. After a fun show, a temporary theft of the band megaphone and some help from the U.S. Secret Service, Kilroy was back on the road home.

Last Friday was a cold night. Freshly brought indoors from -5 degree band van, the gear was condensating buckets. Strings were breaking as guitars had not yet warmed up. Amps should have shorted out... But the wall-to-wall Reptile Palace audience warmed our little hearts (and are gear). We played loud and nasty, and a good time was had by all. Thanks, Oshkosh!

Kilroy recently added a fourth – the home-schooled wonderkid Nate McDowell to thicken up the sound. Equally at home with a guitar, at the keyboard or behind a mic, Nate is a welcome addition to the unit – just don't look him in the eye and never mention his omnipresent duffle bag.
