The Michigan City Vandals

We wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for coming out in Chicago, Lansing, Saint Joseph & Grand Rapids. You guys really packed those clubs and it was incredible to meet so many cool people & new friends. We also wanted to thank The Lansing State Journal's NOISE magazine for the story...Thanks Christian!

We are still plugging away at the house & selling cd's one show at a time. We have raised about a thousand more this month toward our goal of $75k because of everyones help and our list of build volunteers grows at every show.

We are back in Chicago this June at the Double Door on 6/22 to do an acoustic show in The Dirtroom & then we plug back in again at The Elbo Room on 7/10. (Thanks Damon of Blackbox & Fearless Radio for the love!)

We are looking forward to rocking in Cleveland this coming weekend at The Roc Bar on Saturday Night, going back to Kalama(Zoo) at The Corner Bar on 6/19 & hitting Cheers in South Bend on Saturday 6/6--(Thanks WZOW for playing our songs & promoting the show!)

If you are in the Saint Joseph/Benton Harbor/Niles area, the city is having us out for a free all ages pre-fourth of July show at the Howard Bandshell from 7:30 to 8:30 PM on Thursday July 3rd & we are going back to Czars with DiVine Vodka & WIRX on Friday night 6/27. We hope you can come out & remember, 100% of our album sales are going toward building a Habitat for Humanity Home. We still believe that music can change the world and each album sold gets all of us closer to putting a family into a home. To donate to the house directly just hit the donate link below and we can't wait to meet everyone. Thanks again for the friendship & support...And Jim, thanks so much for what you wrote, we are honored and very thankful...it is posted in our press section and a copy is now on the wall in our dingy basement rehearsal space next to a 'Self-Medicated' poster, a Radiohead concert ticket stub and a list of band names we passed on...

Julee, Matt & Joey
