I've been hitting some of Chicagoland's cushiest locales of late...
Saturday the ragtag country rock experiment that is Saddle Champ rose from the grave to perform in Aurora, IL.
This was not exactly a typical audience for us.
We were playing at a big outdoor party thrown by a custom motorcycle builder with quite a diverse clientele...if by diverse you mean a whole bunch of hard-looking guys in leather and chains. While I've never been around more guys in leather chaps, I do not think there were alternative lifestyles being embraced at this gathering.
And apparently bands returning from a six-month hiatus playing semi-high energy sets with sparkling execution were also not embraced at the gathering (though it should be noted that we got way more applause than the stereotypical looking Grateful Dead cover band, Fungi, that followed us).
Nonetheless, it was worth the haul west. Besides being a fun set, with great people watching, the custom bikes were pretty incredible.
I posted some shots on Flickr from the show.
