Dance on your Grave!

We are excited to announce our brand new album “Dance on your Grave” will be available April 28th!  This is a collection of songs that have been in the works a LONG time.  We held on to some of these for 3 or 4 years.  To be quite honest, we had lost a little motivation and steam after chugging along for over 10 years.  So much has changed personally for us since we started back in 2005.  Our lives have ‘happened’ as this band evolved.  We have graduated to middle age and are in the midst of raising families and focusing on our own future and success.  We never meant for the music to stop, and it has shaped us and our families along the way.  Its just been a lot more difficult for us to make new music happen.  I like to think we have a lot more to offer in the way of songwriting than a couple 22 year old punks who have been on their own for a couple years.  Yeah, maybe they had it rough for a year or 2, since they left mom and dads basement, but collectively this band has endured a lot of life.  We want to bring a small piece of that and present it to you in this latest...

It was great to have so many of our fans and friends come out, and we are proud that do to your help we collected 250 pairs of socks for the City Mission!

Wreck the Halls 2015

Wreck the Halls 2015

KILLIGANS annual “Wreck the Halls” Christmas-time punk rawk jamboree sweater show canned food drive. That’s right, its that time of year again where we pull out all the stops and get our snow cannon warmed up and ready to blast you in the face with tons of possibly toxic snow juice! Joining us this year are our extra special friends from Chicago’s south-side 6’10! This is their first trip to our lovely city, lets show them a good time! Now confirmed is Lincolns own NIGHT PUSH! We are working with Pastor Tom at Peoples City Mission this year to provide new or gently used WINTER SOCKS to our city’s needy. As you know, our winters can be rough around here and strange as it may seem, socks are a huge need. Bring a heavier pair of winter type socks to donate and we will deliver to the mission after the show. We are hoping to get a great response from our fans (as we always do) for this years cause! In the meantime, get your best holiday themed sweater dry-cleaned and pressed and get ready to slam dance the night away! more about 6’10: https://www.facebook.com/sixtencity/info/?tab=page_info Tobin Bawinkel of Flatfoot 56, started 6’10 to go back to his musical roots in Americana and Folk music. Life can’t be all circle pits and spitting on sweaty crowds. Here is a side that is a little more lade back and thought provoking. He is joined by many talented musicians who bring much to the table as far as diversity and musical creativity. RSVP on Facebook, won’t you?...
