The rumors finally came true!

Joe Cassidy's been on FB, I feel like I should finally friend him there.

Delayed until November, seemingly.

And we have first song!

^Weird, how did I miss Ned's post?
Anyway, it's available for pre-order at Norman Records ...

... which suggests it might actually be on its way.

There's kind of a lost trove of late-90s Chicago bands that never got their due: these guys, Frisbie, The Chamber Strings, et al.

(I used to play "hoot night" variety shows with Joe Cassidy, having no idea what his band was at the time.)

Very good! I didn't listen much to the second and third Butterfly Child LPs, but this makes me want to revisit them.

Weren't Butterfly Child Irish?
Irish, but they ended up in Chicago in the late 90s (not unlike The Mekons).

Which happened, and he's a fine fellow.

Wouldn't mind a nice compilation CD wit all the EPs and Peel Sessions like the A.R. Kane one that came out a few years back
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Monday, 21 August 2017 21:14 (six years ago) link
Yeah, including the stuff they did with Papa Sprain, would be very nice indeed.
― henry s, Monday, 21 August 2017 22:05 (six years ago) link
somehow the very existence of these two bands has completely eluded me until recently; learned of them thanks to the 'fearless' post-rock book (which is very good btw)
