What is a blog?  For us it is a short blurb that we write when the mood strikes us.  It can be first person, funny or informative. In short, a blog is whatever we want it to be. Published Sept. 14, 2007 at 9:18 a.m.

Jay Tiller and Neil Socol -- aka Couch Potatoes and, later, Couch Flambeau -- have made it to 25. Yes, it's true. Milwaukee's own witty rock trio -- part Circle Jerks, part Van Halen (there's have a "gear" page on the band's Web site!) -- is a quarter-century old.

The band celebrates with a gig at the fresh and clean new Cactus Club on Saturday, Sept. 29.

The bulk of the band's output and activity came in the 1980s but the retrospective CD "I Did a Power Slide in a Taco Stand: Anthology 1982–2001," released in 2004, has all you need to know about most of Couch Flambeau's 25 years.

Order it at the band's Web site (see below) and study up. Then go to the gig and celebrate the birthday of one Milwaukee's most influential and long-lived underground bands.

If you've never seen Couch Flambeau live, you owe it to yourself to go. Best locally-brewed rock alongside the Frogs in my opinion. That's because--they're Satan's buddies!
