5/28/10 - Another long pause, but that's good -- too busy to write silly updates. We just played a show at the Empty Bottle this WED at the invitation of HEAVEmedia. We showed off our newest configuration, in which Matt has moved to guitar and our friend John Roeser is playing the bass guitar. Good times. So ... this lineup begins recording this weekend -- 5 new rock songs with our friend Luke Tweedy at the boards. We'll be developing more new material this summer and hit the studio later in the fall. ALSO, I've been recording some more acoustic-oriented songs with members of Roommate and Love Raid. Lots of music happening. And last but not least, I should mention that KH will be celebrating 10 years as a live performing "thing" in July. Details below.

• 7/30/10 - KH10!!!! Quenchers, Fullerton & Western, Chicago. w/Psychic Friends, Last Cannibals, Stanley Ross, June Panic & June Panic's Wife. 8pm. 21+. $10. The KH set will be graced by a number of current and former contributers, as we share the stage with our friends old and new. Should be a great night of rock music.

2/21/10 - Sorry for the long delay between updates. TC has been very busy completing his new film, The Indian Boundary Line, which premiered in Chicago a few weeks ago to a sellout crowd and a great response. Stay tuned for more screenings in Chitown and elsewhere which will be posted at the link. Meantime, new songs are what TC and KH are all about, as he wrote a lot of new material last year. So, while 2010 looks to be a little quieter on the live show front, it'll be very busy on the studio front. More updates coming soon. But there will be shows, including a return to the Whistler in a few!

• 3/4/10 - The Whistler, 2421 North Milwaukee, Chicago. w/Bowery Boy Blue (NYC). 9pm. 21+. FREE! Taking a page from the Neil Young playbook, the KH set will begin with some acoustic songs, then switch gears to make electric, ragged glory about halfway through.

6/12/09 - Things are pretty busy with outside projects this summer, but we're managing a few KH shows. Matt is playing shows with Cool Devices and Phantom Works. T.C. has started a new project with Chris Sherman (Fruit Bats/Judy Green) called Easter Island -- a few shows happening this summer for that. We got a lot of good press for The Sons over the course of the winter and spring. Check the myspace blog for a complete collection or check our front page for a few choice excerpts. Meantime, T.C. has been writing a bunch of new songs some of which should be making their appearance live this summer via Easter Island and in the fall via KH.
