lmfanelliphotohoundcomics: A few weeks ago we interviewed Joe Hertler and learned a little more about his past, his inspirations, and got a little deeper into the brain of the head of The Rainbow Seekers.

And sometimes, you have to travel outside of Chicago to find new inspiration. That is exactly what we did, and, in…

Dreams
Don’t you hate it when alien overlords show up and mistake you for the band muse? You have no choice but to play for them the best you can (they will blast you with their zap guns if you mess up).

joehertler: ITUNES AMAZON BANDCAMP It’s been a long time coming, but our record is now available to everyone. I can’t tell you how much it means to us to have this project done. I first met my guitar player, Ryan, at a really awkward show that we played at a bowling alley. I opened for his band…

fusionshows: It’s so easy to gather momentum for our upcoming national shows. Shows like Dashboard Confessional, AWOLNATION, Thursday, We Came As Romans, Breathe Carolina, Every Avenue. Those shows sell themselves. But the shows we’re trying to be noisiest about are those featuring our local bands. A bunch of…

joeyhertler: My good buddy/manager, Irving Ronk (of Fusion Shows) sent me this in an email the other day. Making the dive into “professional” music, at least for me, has always been kind of an overwhelming thought. It’s intimidating; you know, attempting to make enough money to support yourself - and even just…
