Lives and Loves, Trials and Tribulations of Daddy's

The time is upon us! No, not the Rapture. The Daddy's Gonna Kill Ralphie 24th anniversary is this weekend! Yes, after 24 years the band is still together. They've survived several breakups, a heroin addiction, two world wars, and that Jimmy Kimmel interview. And now that they've hit this impressive milestone, it is time to celebrate!

So the 7th anniversary present is pens and pencils, the 9th is leather, and I'm pretty sure that the 14th is KIT: the Knightrider car. So what's the traditional 24th anniversary present? Actually, it's musical instruments. That's not a joke, it's true. We didn't even plan that out, it just so happened to be musical instruments. Go figure.

In honor of this celebratory event, Daddy's Gonna Kill Ralphie is reuniting during their hiatus for the first of what will prove to be thousands of farewell shows. If you find yourself in the southeast Ohio area this Thursday at 11:00pm, get your tush over to The Blue Gator in Athens, Ohio for a FREE (count 'em, FREE) DGKR concert! You can't beat that away with an obscure pop culture reference!

Also, bring presents. The band loves presents. Gift certificates to Chipotle (aka Chipootle) are also acceptable.
