Yo. We're playing a matinee show at Arlene's Grocery in NYC on July 17th. Check the shows section
for all the specs on that one. Never played there before, but we've heard good things so come check it out. More
shows coming for the month of July, which will be some of our last for a while, because we're all going to be fine, upstanding
college boys in the fall. We're not breaking up, or taking a "hiatus," but we'll probably need some time to get our
shit together at school. How responsible. Anyway, stay tuned for shows, a new CD, and a video (!) before the end
of the summer.

who come out to support us at these shows. Hope we gave you your money's worth on Saturday night. Congradulations
Active Ignorance on taking home the gold, and to Longspur, The Four of Us Are Dead, Misusage, and The Price of Tea in China

So we're still not recording the actual full length that we promised would be out by last August, but we're getting
there. One thing we do know is that we'll have a brand new four song EP for sale at the Scarsdale Battle of the Bands.
It's going to be a little bit different...

Due to the controversy regarding the admission policy at Solomon Shecter, the December 6th show has moved
to a different venue. A very, very nice girl named Gail said she would have the show at her house. E-mail
MrLax4@aol.com for time, directions, and the address if you wanna go. We're playing with Randal ATS. Its FREE. Oh yes,
free.
For the record, Shoe Gang will never play at any venue that openly discriminates
agains their fans, or any group of people, for any reason. We are disappointed that the show had to be moved at
the last minute, however, this had to be done in order to accomodate an open admissions policy. Our shows are open to
everyone, regardless their race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and age. We never have, and never will play at
any venue that violates this philosophy.
11/27-
Happy Turkey Day.
11/15
One more thing about the December 6th show in Harstdale- we're going to be collecting canned goods
for the WPHC Holiday Food Drive, which will be donated to a soup kitched in White Plains. So if you're coming to the
show, try bring some canned goods or other pre-packaged foods. If you could bring just one can of food, thats
awesome. Its easy and its for a good cause.
11/13-
Whatup everybody, we got another show, courtesy of Amanda from Randal ATS- Its at Solomon Shecter
High School in Hartsdale on December 6th with Randal ATS and others. Check the shows section for more details on that
one. We're still playing on 11/29 in the city, and we're gonig to have a show booked at the Empress Ballroom pretty
soon. We'll keep you guys posted.
11/12-
Ok we lied. The next show will be on Saturday November 29th at Funkdalic studios in NYC. Check

same night as the Sick of it All show anymore. Awesomer. So come out and have a good time at our post-Turkey Day
show with the Hard UPs and the Unborn.

The Halloween show was SO FUCKING GOOD. Thanks to ALL the people who came out! We
really couldn't believe how many people were there. It was really incredible. I think there were close to four
times the number of heads that were there the first time we put on that show 2 years ago. We really hope every had as
awesome a time as we did, and that maybe some of those people who had never come to see us before will come out again
some time. Seriously, that was easily one of our three best shows ever, if not the best. Thanks to all our friends
who fucked shit up like only they know how, that was some fine, fine moshing guys. And thanks to our cheerleaders,
Annie and Genna, and to Coach Dave and Coach Mike. By the way, Randal ATS rocked it hardcore. As always, nice job fellas.
Lizzy gets her own thank you paragraph. THAAAAAAAAAAAAANK YOOOOOOOOU LIZZY! Lizzy let everyone overrun her
garage, front yard, and kitchen so that we could do this. Lizzy is super amazingly cool for volunteering her house for
this show.

things just weren't working out. We wish him the best, and hope that we'll remain good friends. He always was,
hopefully will remain, a very big part of this band.
We'll be holding auditions for someone to fill the slot in the next few weeks. If
anyone's interested, e-mail me (dan) at MrLax4@aol.com. Gotta be into the melodic hardcore thing (7 Seconds, H2O, Gorilla Biscuits, etc...)
and be solid on the 4 string to get the gig.
