People. The Return of the SKWM Quartet (feat. Joel RL Phelps as himself) is upon us, come end of September:
23 SEPT 2025 - Chop Shop (Chicago) with OUT! -- TIX NOW HERE
24 SEPT 2025 - Sleeping Village (Chicago) with Gotobeds SOLD OUT
25 SEPT 2025 - Sleeping Village (Chicago) with Dianogah SOLD OUT
26 SEPT 2025 - Loose Cobra (Tolono IL) with Dianogah
27 SEPT 2025 - Gonerfest (Memphis)
The Chop Shop and Sleeping Village shows are on the DICE APP.
Chop Shop, still some tix, and the SV ones do have waitlists...who knows?
Loose Cobra at the moment is a $20 suggested donation at the door.
Gonerfest is 11PM SKWM on Saturday. It also fuckin' rules, and tix are available at the link wherever it says Gonerfest in this post.
"Will there be more shows?" Who knows? I would say it is feasible.
Supply and demand wasn't something we paid much attention to in the Old Days, but now, we kinda will.
If we're wanted somewhere and someone there can help us get this Spruce Goose off the tarmac, well, hit our booking guy up here.
We are having a grand time practicing six hours a day when we can get together, and I expect things to rock accordingly.
A good place to find the most timely of updates is our page on the Comedy Minus One website (or our Bandcamp).
Finally and most importantly, I want to mark the 20th anniversary of our beautiful brother Michael Dahlquist's death.
We never thought we would be revisiting ANY of this stuff, but another death (our beloved brother Steve Albini's) got us all in the same place.
The rest is history, I suppose.
Everything we may do from here on out is attached to them and possible because of them.
We miss them every day and are grateful for their love and company, as we are yours.
Eternally,
Tim

So so so...a little birdie told me you can buy a copy of the last Silkworm LP, It'll Be Cool, right now on vinyl for the first time by clicking on back where I said "a little birdie told me." Is it out yet? Not technically. But for you it is. Click on that thing.
IN ADDITION: for the remainder of 2015...Ein Heit's THE LIGHTNING AND THE SUN and the Crust Brothers' MARQUEE MARK CDs are on sale for $5 each.
How do you buy them? This website is like twenty years old, man. You gotta go here and click on the picture of the record, and you'll go to PayPal. If that's weird or you don't PayPal, email me and we'll figure it out. I know, it's old school, but you're not paying postage so whatever.
What else...oh, the Libertine reissue? Out of print. Sold 'em all! Sorry! Lifestyle and In the West reissues are in the works...maybe more to come....
Eternally yours,
Tim

Greetings,
In addition to the recent reissues of Libertine and Chokes!...the Comedy Minus One record label will be reissuing our 2nd album, In the West--on vinyl for the very first time.
Andy, Steve, and I remixed it from scratch this weekend, with JRLP visiting us on speakerphone and FaceTime.
It sounds terrific.
The release will be similar to Libertine--download code and bonus tracks for people who want them...and I reckon some extra-special material that will be worth getting your hands on, if you're a fan. And if you've read this far, you probably qualify.
More later as things unfold--watch this space and CMO!
Love,
Tim

Hi everybody,
The final Silkworm release, CHOKES!, has being reissued by the fine Comedy Minus One record label.
It sounds fantastic, and it has been really great to hear these songs again.
12" vinyl, at top fidelity 45RPM.
Includes download code plus a slate of live latter-day SKWM downloads.
Jacket features Hiroshi Kimura's lovely painting and etching, full color, with printed inner sleeve.
CMO has sold through several hundred in preorders, and an immediate repress is not likely, so now's the time if you want one. The link is this sentence right here.
Love,
Tim
