Pretty random stuff:
Here’s a good interview with Chuck by the guys from Ozelot2001.com. Aside from the background noise and an awkward moment, it’s definitely worthwhile watching:

Interview with Chuck - part 2
Two picture sets from our Russian friends @ Moscow/Apelsin:
Set 1 by Andrey Kolesnikov
Set 2 by Sergey Belyakov
Fakkit… Road Rash in Moscow!!!!
The really good news is that the Caddies will be hitting the European summer festivals… Vainstream Rockfest/Germany (06/28/08) is the first one on the list.
And as a closer.... here’s this totally unrelated Guitar Hero Youtube video. An ode to the most underestimated Caddie song… Bridges:

The band announced that they have a new setlist that will be adjusted as the tour goes…

Did you know that Keith played trumpet with his auntie Jena?
Go to Auntie Jena’s MySpace page
& listen to the songs: Again Someday & Walk On By.
I also received my copy of the new Drag The River CD “You Can’t Live This Way” & guess who played some horns on it?
You’re right!
Drag The River MS
Listen to the song “Death Of The Life Of The Party”. He also plays on the song “Rangement” (Buy).
It’s coming…
