12.15.03 - The House of Blues Chicago last night was a great time, and all the bands put on a great show!  Thanks to our friends in Amazing Transparent Man, the Methadones, Break the Silence, and Split Habit for joining us for the show!  And a round of special thanks to all the Squirtgun fans that we saw from out-of-town -- we know that many of you drove for over 6 hours!

12.12.03 - The new volume of Forklift, Ohio is now available for sale. It is a journal of poetry edited by Squirtgun's singer Matt Hart with his friend Eric Appleby. This makes an awesome holiday gift! Pick one up today here...

12.11.03 - MP3.com is now closed, so all of our MP3's will now be hosted by PAHardcore.com.  One neat feature of the site is that they allow listeners to rate the songs, so be sure to give Squirtgun high scores!  The site allows both MP3 streaming and download, so you can choose what works best for you.  Here is a direct link to our page.

11.24.03 - We're back from tour...which went very well! Tickets are now available for our upcoming headlining show at House of Blues, Chicago with Amazing Transparent Man, Break The Silence, and Split Habit. Advance tickets are $10 and can be purchased online here.

11.23.03 - Yesterday marked the last show of the current tour, and the first "hometown" show for Squirtgun in five years.  The mix of bands was eclectic, and the crowd genuinely seemed to enjoy the mix.  The show was a benefit concert for the Latino Cultural Center of Purdue University, and all profits are going directly to help the center continue its positive work.

11.20.03 - Last night, Squirtgun played its first show of the current tour without the Ataris.  The show in Akron, OH at the Lime Spider was a lot of fun, even if the crowd was considerably smaller than what we played for during the first stretch of the tour! Even the fact that we suffered our first equipment casualty of the tour (the bass amp blew) did not dampen the enthusiasm of the audience or the band.

11.19.03 - The last Squirtgun/Ataris show was a blast!  Kris Roe was in top form, and we met a lot of new Squirtgun fans at the show.  As a special surprise, during the Ataris' encore, Squirtgun singer Matt Hart re-joined his former bandmates from F.O.N. and Kris Roe of the Ataris for an unannounced performance of the 1992 F.O.N. song "Lonely People."  

11.18.03 - The Louisville show, scheduled for last night at Jillian's, was cancelled.  Kris Roe of the Ataris was still unable to sing due to a throat infection.  The promoter declined to offer the show without the headliner, so none of the support acts were allowed to play.  Regardless, things look better for Kris today, so the show in Cincinnati at Bogart's is a go.

11.17.03 - Last night's show in Nashville went on despite the cancellation of the headline band. Kris Roe, singer of the Ataris, was ill with a severe throat infection, and was unable to perform.  Many fans chose to stay for the rest of the bands (Squirtgun, Planes Mistaken For Stars, and Hopes Fall), and the show turned out to be a success despite the lack of the Ataris.

11.09.03 - The show in Houghton, MI last night went very well!  Thanks to all who came out to see our first show with new drummer Mike Felumlee.  Check out the new poster for our upcoming tour with the Ataris!  It was designed by Guy Walshe of Brisbane, Australia!

11.08.03 - We are on the road up to Houghton, MI for our first show with new drummer Mike Felumlee (formerly of Alkaline Trio and the Smoking Popes).  We have a photo of the new line-up available here.

11.03.03 - Footage of Kris Roe (The Ataris) has been shot for his guest spot in the "Burn For You" video. The video is in the final stages of editing and should be released soon. We'll keep you posted.

11.01.03 - Check out our Shows section and Reviews section for updates.

10.28.03 - We have a special sneak-preview image of the cover of the upcoming issue of FUG Magazine, with Squirtgun on the front page!  The issue should be available very soon, but you can see the cover here now!

10.26.03 - We just had our first rehearsals with new drummer Mike Felumlee this past weekend.  The practice went very well, and we are looking forward to our first show with the new lineup.  Check out out our photos of the rehearsal!

10.14.03 - Check out our Shows section and Reviews section for updates.

10.1.03 - Mike Felumlee, another legendary punk rock drummer, has come to the rescue!  Mike will be filling the drummer position in Squirtgun effective our next show date.  Mike is a very accomplished drummer, playing in the SMOKING POPES, ALKALINE TRIO, and DUVALL, not to mention his own solo music career as singer/songwriter.  Mike played on all Smoking Popes releases, and on both the album From Here to Infirmary and the "Hell Yes" 7".  He was also a founding member of DUVALL.  Mike runs his own label, DOUBLE-ZERO Records, and recently released a solo album.

9.30.03 - Dan Lumley has announced his intention to leave Squirtgun, and retire from music.  This is a decision that he has undertaken very seriously, and only after much thought.  Dan has certainly "paid his dues," and decidedly qualifies as a legendary punk drummer, having played in not only Squirtgun, but also SCREECHING WEASEL, COMMON RIDER, the RIVERDALES, the METHADONES, EVEN IN BLACKOUTS, the MOPES, RATTAIL GRENADIER, and even doing guest stints with the LILLINGTONS, the QUEERS, the TEEN IDOLS, and more. Dan is like a brother to us, and we wish him the best in anything he does.

9.18.03 - Big news!  Squirtgun has just been invited as support band for a 10-day segment of an upcoming Ataris tour!  The dates will be from Nov 14-22, and stretch from Texas to Pennsylvania!  More details to be posted soon...

 9.14.03 - More glowing reviews for Fade To Bright have been posted in our Reviews section. Fade To Bright has climbed back into the Interpunk top 10. Amazingly, the 12" vinyl version of the album is ranked #2 for 12" vinyl and #29 overall! Pick up a copy today at Interpunk.com!
