Ditty Bops tour across America
Thought this would interest the folks here. They just came thru Chicago on their circuitous path to NYC from LA. Playing shows along the way! My hats off to them.

And their very entertaining and honest blog-notes of the journey lets me forgive them for mis-calling the venerable Chi-Town institution SuperDawg.....uh....SuperBurger.

BTW, a previous post here was asking about Surly LHT.
I think these gals ride Surlys– Cross-check and LHT.

I went to there concert here in Madison, WI and they were great. If you want teenage angst, rage against the machine, gothic, pain and suffering, it is not the concert for you.
If you want an all age good time, with lots of great singing, great stage presence, and good vibes, go to there concert.
They headed for Milwaukee at 8:00AM from the capital building here in Madison, and they inviited any of the audience members to come along. Judging from the local weekly about 10 folks showed up to ride to with them (about 60 miles).

I'll quibble. It's more like ~75 miles all the way to the east side, were the show is at the Miramar. An impressive ride considering the logisitics and work of a concert tour. I only want to relax, eat and sleep after a ride that long. I'll be there tonight.

pHunbalanced- Yeah your right, probably more like 75mi. The concert here was on Tuesday, so they had a day to rest. Enjoy the show!
