NICE!!! Our track "If I Go" (featured on the TV shows Smallville and the "Pensacola Wings of Gold" thanks to our friends at Pravda Records) off our World Gone Mad LP has surpassed 45,200 plays on Spotify! Not quite the million it deserves, but we're grateful nonetheless...THANKS TO ALL WHO LISTEN!
HELLO from TSH HQ! Needless to say, 2020 has, thus far, been a total shit show on many levels. While a ton of new songs have been written, TSH has remained on pause.
We look forward to starting up again later this year and with any luck we will have a new release ready in 2021. In the meantime, stay safe, sane, and healthy out there!
Happy 2020! We're enjoying an extended hiatus over the holidays, but wanted to thank everyone for all the support in 2019. Special year-end thanks to Boris Boden for placing our "Consolation Prize Fighter" EP at No. 27 in the Secret Weapon Radio Show Top 40; Rick Warhall for naming our track "Once" on his Chasing the Essential 2019 best of show (#222); and The Power Pop Shoppe for including the band on its list of cool Chicago bands! MASSIVE THANKS to these folks and all who listened, downloaded tracks, came out to our shows and bought CDs!
Nice to see our 2018 track, "Every Time With You" charting again!
Huge thanks to Jim Prell for featuring our track, "Every Time With You" on his awesome Music Authority Radio Show this week!
Flattered to be included! Check it out here:
Massive thanks to Woody Radio (CAN) DJs, DJ Gidget and Boris Boden for continuing to play "Once" on their shows every week!!
"Once" hangs on for a second week in the Radio Indie Alliance Top 40 after re-entering the chart last week, bringing the total Top 40 placements for the song to 7! Massive thanks to DJ Boris Boden and DJ Gidget at Woody Radio in Canada for their tireless support of the band on their respective radio shows ! We love you! And, of course, huge thanks to all who listen to - and support - indie radio.
Very Cool to have "Once" re-enter the Radio Indie Alliance Top 40 for the week of September 23, 2019, at #37, based on three entries...#9 on KOR Radio (UK), #11 on the DJ Gidget Show Top 15 on Woody Radio (CAN) and #18 on the Secret Weapon Radio Show Top 20 (CAN)! Thanks to all DJs who continue to support TSH!!
We had an excellent time opening for Chicago legends and labelmates, New Duncan Imperials at the historic FitzGerald's Nightclub in Berwyn, Illinois, on Saturday, July 27, 2019! It was a great way to end our year. Looking forward to 2020! Thanks to Richard Hall for the superb pictures!
Fitzgerald's Nightclub, 6615 Roosevelt Rd., Berwyn, IL 60402
We're thrilled to be opening for the trashier-than-ever New Duncan Imperials! Both NDI and TSH are celebrating the release of new records on Pravda Records / Pravda Music Publishing!
2019 marks NDI's 30th Anniversary and TSH's 25th, which just goes to show some things (like fine wine, trousers, hair tonic, music and musicians) get better with age! If you know anything about TSH's early days, you'll recall that TSH opened for NDI several times in the 1990s and the shows were always a blast! This show at Fitzgerald's will certainly be no exception. It's gonna be just like the "old days"!! Also, it is highly likely this will be the last TSH performance for quite some time, so we hope you'll come out for a night of insanely good live music at a killer venue!

Frank G's good friend and fellow Benet Academy alum (Class of '91), Andy Stout was diagnosed with a brain tumor on June 4, 2018. Andy underwent immediate emergency surgery on June 5th to remove a dangerous glioblastoma the size of a large lemon. He is the is the incredible father to 2 young kids, Rowan (7) and Callum (5). He has dedicated his life to raising his children, as well as teaching acting and participating in TV shows when he had the chance. Unfortunately, given his current medical hardship, Andy cannot continue working and has no income to pay his medical expenses, not to mention helping care for his 2 amazing kiddos.
So, to help out, Thrift Store Halo and friends, Jameson Shakes, are hosting a fundraiser with the proceeds going to help Andy with medical bills and insurance deductibles.
