Greetings! We’ve had little to post about in the last, oh, 15+ months, but we’re here to share a bit of a milestone…our track "If I Go" off our LP, World Gone Mad (which would have been a really fitting title for these times) has surpassed 50,000 plays on Spotify! 

Thanks to the early efforts of Kenn Goodman at Pravda Records/Pravda Music, “If I Go” (a rather non-commercial, little retro-shuffle tune) was featured on the TV shows “Smallville”, "Pensacola Wings of Gold" and MTV’s “Parental Controls.”  

  In total, TSH songs have been played online over 175,000 times. Not quite the number of plays big-time artists generate, of course, but we’re massively grateful to everyone who has listened over time. 

It’s been a long meandering journey for TSH over the last 23 years, and in some respects we’re proper slackers...a few years of activity followed by multi-year gaps of inactivity. But, with the world opening up again, our golf skills woefully lacking, a massive backlog of songs piling up, you will likely be hearing from us again soon. 

We hope you’re well!

It's Springtime in Chicago. Vaccines are getting in arms. Trump is a nagging, far too recent memory...The world is on the mend. 

It should follow therefore, that TSH would finally get back to it. But, while songs continue to pile up, and texts and calls are being answered, little of note is happening. There's dust on basses and drums remained zipped in cases.

The quarantines and shutdowns gave life to plenty of new releases, we're sure, but we're not really paying that much attention. It's not apathy. We do care.

Restrictions are easing, but still we're inert. It's not lack of interest or of confidence, per se. Perhaps we're just acutely aware that more important and pressing things are jockeying and vying for our attention. And yours.

If you're reading this...and let's be honest, you're probably not, we're not going anywhere. We're like those work clothes that you haven't had to wear in 13 months. We might not fit like we used to, and we're not sure we're even remotely still in style - if we ever were. But, we're not getting carted off to Goodwill just yet. Because, someday, maybe sooner than later, we're going to decide it's time. 

So, our friends, we will see you again, when more doors are thrown open, hugs can be freely given and the masks go the way of Sansabelt trousers, NBA sneakers by Kinney Shoes and Sizzlean, TSH will still be here, pandering our Chicago-brand style of Power Pop.

Some things never go out of style.

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!
