This band of Booties are restless and continue on their summer rampage….even after drinking beers in the sun all day yesterday and an epic 2+ hours onstage last night.   A few bits of news….Boots ringleader, Christopher E. is interviewed by chief editor, Paul H. in the current issue of The Music & Band Ezine.  Here’s the link:

This weekend….Saturday July 17th to be exact….we make our second annual appearance in downtown PDX for the acoustic guerrilla uprising, Big Busk Festival.   Wizard Boots will be somewhere just off Pioneer Square sometime around 5 to 6pm followed by a second performance at the afterparty over in the St. Johns district.  More details to come before the weekend….here’s a link to the official site:

The following Thursday night…July 22nd…we play an early opening set downtown at the good old Ash Street Saloon with Hugs & Punches, The Taste and Echo Park CA’s Electric Children.  Godzilla’s autopsy has the details above.

And the summer of incredible coincidence continues…while sipping the above mentioned beer up on the balcony yesterday, our good friend Jeremy…formerly of The Kissy Face Lovers, now fronting his new blooze combo, The Downtown Tramps, happened to pass by and came on in to hang out at the casa for a bit.  Wizard Boots will be joining The Tramps and an excellent line up of other bands for a big ol’ happening at the world famous Kenton Club on Saturday August 14th.   This will be our opportunity to redeem ourselves from our extemely drunken show there last summer….although all who attended still say it was our best Portland show ever….so who knows?  More news, updates on the impending release of the long awaited “Ole’ Biscuit Barrel!” and other surprises on the way.  Stay tuned to this vibration….

Hey baby….it’s the fourth of July….or it was…anyway….The mixing of the new Wizard Boots album, “Ole’ Biscuit Barrel!” is complete…with rockets-a-blazin’ right outside the window even….so hold your refreshing beverages high and shout “OLE’!!!”….and then drink your refreshing beverages of course.

Say what you will….with the help of all my wonderful friends, I have made the album I set out to make.  “OLE’!!!”

This weekend we bring one of our rare epic-double length-Live at Pompei-Yes album cover-sets to The Twilight Cafe.   It’s at 1420 SE Powell just a block over from The Aladdin Theater.  Our good friend, Erik Anarchy is opening.  Be sure to wear your party pants.  Next weekend…Saturday the 17th to be exact….we make our second appearance at the Bigger Busk underground acoustic uprising.  It’ll be in the afternoon just off Pioneer Square downtown.  Details are still sketchy….more to come..here’s the official site:
