The Textbook Committee at Canal Street Tavern

Chicago's absolute best Guided By Voices cover band performs in the GBV Heartland this Saturday, at the Canal Street Tavern in Dayton. Sounds like the perfect time for friends, suds, and pure rawk bliss.

Who's coming with me?



For the first time ever, I may yell out "FLAT BEAUTY!!", and actually here it live??

    FK YA!

    We're gonna drive your Thunderbird through Canada
    I'm not supposed to tell you
    Up to the tundra, I'm focused in my development
    I'm not supposed to tell you
    Don't leave any notes for Birgit
    She don't have to know
    One foolish life in the snow

    I've got tickets to the circus of delirium
    I'm not supposed to tell you
    Complements of the fabulous freebird
    I'm not supposed to tell you
    Don't leave any clues for Betsy
    She don't have to look
    One silly page in the book

    Take the time to stumble
    Show them faith in something larger in your life

    Don't leave any clouds(?) for Carol
    She shouldn't have to cry
    Where is the spark in your eye?
    This is the day that we fly
    Don't waste your time on goodbye
