Patience Grasshopper, was The Wipes
Posted on August 16, 2011 with 7 commentsHi, Musicfriends!
Remember the Wipes? World's best cover band? Years of benefit concerts to support the Grant Park Cooperative Preschool?
Well, the Wipes hung it up last spring. Most of us no longer have any connection to the school, and we decided it was time to let other folks with kids there step up and become the Wipes.
But guess what? The people in the band wanted to keep playing together. So we kept meeting, and we changed our name. We're now "Patience Grasshopper." A lot like the band you love.
And we have TWO gigs coming in a couple of weeks. First, we'll be playing at the Summer Shade Festival in Grant Park. We open the festival, playing at the Americana Stage at 12:30 in the afternoon on Saturday, August 27th. This show is free and open to the public!
Second, amazingly enough, we'll be playing Smith's Olde Bar on Wednesday night, August 31 at 7 PM, as part of the Humble Heroes project to assist police officers and firefighters. We split the bill with The Elvis Show, the Deadfields, and Parker Smith and the Bandwidth. Tickets available at http://www.ticketalternative.com/Events/15617.aspx
I hope to see you at one of these events. Please come by and say hello!
Love,
Adam
