[Shows]

Why so few shows lately? Has BDC broken up? Been abducted by aliens? Gotten tired of playing? NOPE! We're gearing up to start recording, so we've been focusing on that. Plus, Mike started a new business with his wife, who he also found out was pregnant! Then Bill had to get the family crabhouse opened for the summer, Jimbo bought a condo in OC, and Nicky bought another freaking Cadillac, to take the place of the Riv he sold. So, one might say we've just been a bit overwhelmed lately. We're gonna start booking again real soon, maybe even now. If you have any shows you'd like us to play, please mail us!
