The Band from Honky-tonk Heaven!
Behold! James Rhines, Lee’s Liquor Lounge manager, presenting a check for $2,500 to Cody Schimelpfenig of Urban Homeworks, with Nate Dungan from Trailer Trash looking on. This is how we do it: helping families in North Minneapolis! Thank you to Craig Kruckeberg, Lee’s Liquor Lounge, and everyone who came out to support our return to Lee’s on New Year’s Eve! Win/Win/Win = Winning!
We’re coming home! After two years, we’re returning to Lee’s! The Jingle Stick will be there! Balloon drop at midnight! Tickets $20 advance/$25 door, available at Ticketfly link below. The Shackletons play an early set from 7:00-9:00pm. We play 9:00pm – 1:00am.
The Trashy Little Xmas Shows were fun as hell, weren’t they? We had a blast! Now we must pack away our Xmas decor and wardrobe, and get back to business!
Please check the Events Page to see our upcoming shows.
Hope to see you soon!
Friends, pretty soon we’re gonna have a whole lotta holidays going on! Here they come: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s! We are looking forward to bringing back the merriment, irreverence and sheer joy! Pick a date with your favorite holiday revelers and join us, won’t you?
Like millions of country fans the world over, we were saddened by the death of Merle Haggard earlier this month. We are thankful for his life and amazing talent. We were lucky enough to open for the man himself at a concert at the old Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis in 1995. It was truly a night to remember! Now that Merle has passed into eternity, we are blessed to carry on the legacy of his wonderful music. Thank you, and goodbye, Mr. Merle.
It’s our 23rd Anniversary! We are celebrating in style at the Ballentine VFW in Uptown, USA! This neighborhood drinking establishment has recently been remodeled, and they got it right! New front door with giant USA flag mural! New stage, PA and dance floor! Great drink specials, food and plenty of fun! We start at 9:00. Cover is $10.

As we look back at 2015, our hearts are full of gratitude. We are grateful for the chance to play the music we love and have such a good time doing it! Along the way, we get to see our fans turn into friends, friends turn into fans, and we all become a big trashy family– we love you all! That is what it’s all about for us, making music for people we love.
Most of all, we would like to express our gratitude to Louie Sirian, the former owner of Lee’s Liquor Lounge, who gave us a place to call home. What started with a handshake deal in 1993 lasted 22 years because of the trust, love and respect we have for you. WE LOVE YOU, LOUIE!
