Saturday, September 22nd at Emo's - Rich Stanley (of the Onyas, and Dropkick, who was foolish enough to put out some Hard Feelings records and book my Aussie tour) makes it up from Australia to ruin his one remaining kidney. Oh, yeah, there's some bands playing, too, I think. You can watch Eddy Current Suppression Ring (a new band on Dropkick that Rich swears kicks ass), along with the Strange Boys and the A-Frames.

Saturday, March 10th, 7pm at the Carousel Lounge - Somebody wants to film my ass on Super 8 and record the damn thing. At the Carousel! Cool! I'm first, so get there early, in case they pan the camera over towards the "crowd" (har har).

---
Friday, March 10th at Emo's - w/The Real Heroes, the Lord Henry, and Cruiserweight. I've known Ben from the Real Heroes forever, but we've never played a show together. Probably because our music sounds nothing alike. It'll be like havin' Hasil Adkins open for Cheap Trick! ...Actually, that would be pretty cool. Ok, not that good, but a fun time anyway. The one man band doesn't really fit with any of the other bands on the bill, either. Come out to see heads be scratched!
Saturday, March 4th at the Continental Club - with Jimbo Mathus. Cool!
Thursday, March 2nd at Flipnotics - with buddy Possessed by Paul James. Our first show at the coffeehouse. Come gnaw a biscotti or whatever the hell it is ya do in one-a them places.

BURNSIDE NIGHT, 7 pm - Max and Austin's movie night will show "Hill Stomp Hollar" by Austin filmaker Bradley Beasley (who also did the great "Okie Noodling" documentary). It's about R.L. Burnside, T. Model Ford, and all your great Fat Possum artists. Apparently it's pretty short, so I'm playin' a set afterwards. We'll also show some clips of me performing with R.L. at a blues festival in Norway around the time the movie was shot. Yeah, I played with R.L. Burnside. Dig it!
Thursday, Jan. 12th at the Longbranch Inn w/ Possessed by Paul James - Starting 2006 off right with a show at the always popular Longbranch with fellow Austin one man band Conrad - who goes by the stage name Posessed by Paul James.

Wednesday, Jan. 11th at Emo's - The last night of FREE WEEK at Emo's, with the White Ghost Shivers and Willie Heath Neal
Wednesday, Dec. 28th at Beerland w/ The Lonely Knights - 10 pm - Yeah, I know it's probably gonna be a bleak turnout for the Wednesday night between Christmas and New Years, but I had to take this show because it's with the AMAZING Lonely Knights - Austin's only all swamp pop cover band! If you haven't caught these guy's packed sets at Evangeline Cafe you've been missing out. This is their first show at Beerland, which is perfect 'cuz they need to play some dives. They're made for it! In an effort to get people to actually show up, the show starts early at 10 pm. You haven't lived 'til you've seen live versions of songs by Cookie and the Cupcakes, Tommy McClain, Rod Bernard, Tom Broussard, and more. Usually you'd have to travel to some roadside shack in Louisiana to see this stuff. Piano, two saxes, the works. These guys are really great, so if you like fun and the having thereof you will come out, even though yes I know it's the Wednesday night between Christmas and New Years. Please?
Thursday, Dec. 15th at the Longbranch Inn - It's the Obsolete Inc. and Chicken Ranch Records Christmas party! It starts early - 9 pm - with Black Joe Lewis and Walter Daniels, then I hear there's some half-nekkid girls dancin' and then Schooley. It's also a benefit, so bring some canned goods (for the Capital Area Food Bank) or a new toy (for Blue Santa) and admission is free! Last year, this party set the all-time Longbranch alcohol sales record, and that was before they even had liquor!
Saturday, Dec. 10th at the Longbranch Inn - With the Bloody Tears!
Wednesday, November 23rd at the Alamo Drafthouse - The Voodoo Rhythm Records documentary "The Gospel of Primitive Rock n' Roll" is screening at the Alamo Drafthouse on Wednesday, Nov. 23rd, with a performance by your hero John Schooley and his One Man Band beforehand! The film features interviews with Lightning Beat Man, the Monsters, King Khan, the Dead Brothers, and more. The performance by Schooley is just that same ol' shit he always does. But this time in a movie theater...AND you can buy advance tickets online (just click the link above), which you should soooo do because this is gonna sell out.

Saturday April 9th at the Longbranch - dance party with the Bloody Tears. If you give me a title, I will write a new dance hit using that title for you to dance to. But you will have to come up with the dance moves to accompany this new dance, because I'll be busy singing, playing all the instruments, and spontaniously writing a new hit song. Otherwise, I would be on the dance floor showing you how the (insert new dance here) is done.
