Not Too Late Video Debut
What do you do when you've blown 96% of the band budget recording your new EP, the drummer and bassist drank the remaining 4% away, and the band members have maybe 12 total head hairs amongst them? Well, you make a low-fi video with your laptop, some kinda-cool footage of an old turntable, digital confetti and zero images of the band, of course! Here's the track "Not Too Late" off our forthcoming Enemies with Benefits, out 2.18.22!
"NOT TOO LATE" Debuts on FM Radio!
Massive thanks to DJ Jeff Shelton for playing our new song "Not Too Late" on his excellent "The Power Pop Show" on KSCU 103.3 FM Santa Clara, California on 1/7/22!

New Duncan Imperials w/ Thrift Store Halo
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!

A Benefit for Andy featuring Thrift Store Halo
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.
