New Show: The Project Lodge (Madison)
after last weekend's game changing pair of shows at Slivie's Lounge in Chicago and the Bayview Brew Haus in Milwaukee, SWF will continue to flip the script, this time at The Project Lodge in Madison. We'll be playing with Madison's own Soup Nazi, along with who knows who else. We should be starting 8ish, and we'll be listening to a lot of hip-hop before going to on to hype ourselves up. Come along why not?
Alternate Timeline Addition: Nathan's Problem
Wow! Back to back to back to back to back excellent Alternate Timeline additions. New one today is a song that Jason wrote, but which I said I didn't feel comfortable playing. Its called "Nathan's Problem," and if you thought that problem was being stuck on the middle of a time traveling island with a smoke monster that hulks out at the site of human blood, well, you're clearly not thinking big enough. Nathan's main problem is his pooping.
Alternate Timeline Addition: Offensive Roots
Extra special addition today! "Offensive Nicknames" is one of our danciest songs, and metronome + piano is one of the danciest instrument combinations known to man (and wyman) kind. Thats why we're excited to share this orignal, demo version of Offensive Nicknames, performed by Patrick on piano, Patrick on electric guitar, and battery power on metronome. Hope you enjoy it!
Alternate Timeline Addition: Live Kate + No One 4 Eva! (Live)
New Alternate Timeline Addition ya'll!
This one is reaching for the bleachers, along with other such lofty goals. Its a live recording of Kate + No One 4 Eva from our last show at Mutiny in Chicago. Its got distortion, charmin' banter from Patrick, and all around sounds great. Wonder your mouse curser over that way, why don't you?
Gapers Block article
This morning Shelia Burt charmed her way into our heart, forever and always, with her interview of us in Gapers Block. Its long, respectful of cultural differences, and much appreciated! If you've got eyes in your head and a LOST DVD on your bookshelf, you owe it to someone to take a look.

New Section: Alternate Timeline
Today is a bold new day in the past, present and future of Sonic Weapon Fence. Today we're starting a new section of the Music Section of the website called "Alternate Timeline."

Sonic Weapon Fence article in the Chicago Sun Times!
Last week Thomas Conner at the Chicago Sun Times super kind and talked with us a bit over at the still-new-to-me Chicago Sun Times tower. The old one was replaced by a new Donald Trump hotel, which is also the same tower where Batman fights the Joker at the end of the latest Batman movie.
But, anywho, there is a great, full length article about Sonic Weapon Fence up on their site AND in print. Check it out.
