Definitely going to be an end of an era at Schubas on the 23rd. If you're fan and live in Chicago I would suggest getting a ticket.

Can't stress anymore that the 23rd at Schubas is the last official show before we go on indefinite hiatus :( http://t.co/KvygPBrHEJ

It's been a cool 7 years and I'm super grateful for everything. Wish some things recently could've changed but the 23rd is a last hurrah!
