Santonies play West Town Bikes Benefit October 8

Helllllllllo!!!!

We have returned from our month of exotic and sophisticated travels to bring you a show! It’s West Town Bike’s BIKE FALL! It is an awesome day-long event and a fundraiser for a really important Chicago staple.

From their description:

11 am – We start with a family friendly parade to the Hideout itself to get things rolling. Stay tuned to West Town’s website and FB page to get updates on the starting point

12-6pm Hang out on the Hideout’s patio and watch the fun happening in the street!
- West Town’s Bike Club Fixed-Gear Free Style Competition and BMX Demo ( with prizes from Chrome Bags and Ciclo Urbano)
- Ciclo Urbano’s Mechanic Challenge bicycle mechanics competition
- Performances by the Racketeers bicycle dance troupe
- Chicago history bicycle tours beginning and ending at Bike Fall
- Girls’ Bike Club Bicycle Fashion Show
-Live music on the patio, food trucks, and more!

After 6pm the party goes 21+ and moves inside with music from:

Illinois First! (illinoisfirstrockband.com)
Nonagon (nonagon.us)
Elia Einhorn (of Scotland Yard Gospel Choir) and Friends (sygc.com)
the Cathy Santonies (cathysantonies.com)
Ornery Little Darlings (ornerylittledarlins.bandcamp.com)

and late night sets starting at 11 PM DJ Billy Ocean and DJ the Jimmer

We aren’t charging for the events outside but will be asking a 20 dollar donation at the door when the party moves in doors. All proceeds go to support West Town Bikes in our mission of empowering Chicago’s under served youth with independent transportation, job skills, and opportunity.

SHOWS? our february shows at whistler and schubas were both a smash success. seriously, SUPER FUN. march shows? we got em: march 1 with the dollyrots, march 4 with the elky summers, march 27 absolute fringe event at elbo room. uh huh.

7 INCH? it’s off to press. you’ll see it in april. more importantly, you’ll hear it then. god i am clever.

VIDEO? our good friend jacqueline is making us a music video. our very first!! rough cuts made me cry-laugh and shriek with banshee-like horror-filled ecstasy all at the same time.

DEMO? we got a little winter 2011 demo for you. where we’ve been, where we’re headed. oh yeah.

WEBSITE OVERHAUL? i’m working on it, geesh. get offa my back. we’ll be reinstating the cathy santonies brand show blog. it’ll be a g.d. riot, i promise.
