The Coveters are back! Jan & Feb

The Coveters are back this month and next at The Continental Club!  We’re sad to have lost our feminine side (Suzanna Choffel) to the big apple last year, but we’re still going strong with Dan Dyer, Warren Hood, Michael Kingcaid, Jeff Botta, Wayne Sutton, Brad Houser, and subs that include Naj Conklin, Kyle Thompson, and who-knows-who else.

Come see us one of these Tuesday nights! MIDNIGHT show.

Dallas show postponed…

Very sorry to announce that the show this Saturday night, October 22 at Rock House Films in Dallas, TX has been postponed.  This was a mutual decision between team Dd and the venue, per several fan requests and TX’s near-victory in the World Series that night (fingers crossed)!  Stay tuned for the rescheduled date and more shows in Dallas soon…
