Jul 02, 08:10 AMUpcoming Show: July 9 at ReggiesWe hope you all have exciting plans for the upcoming long weekend, but there's something else to look forward to even after the holiday hot dogs and beer are gone. A week from today, on Thursday, July 9th, the Lost Cartographers will return to our favorite South Side club, Reggie's Music Joint, to play with an amazing lineup of out-of-town visitors (Brooklyn's Ne'er Do Evers and Balthrop, Alabama) and Chicago's own Brother George. This promises to be a really cool show, and the booker from Reggie's is so excited about that she named it her "pick of the month." The show starts at 8pm with just a $5 cover. See details on the other bands (plus food and drink specials, etc.) here. If you think you'll be able to make it, please let us know on Facebook or MySpace.

Dec 31, 07:28 AMHappy New Year from the Lost Cartographers!2008 marked the Lost Cartographers' second full year as a band, and the first full year with our current lineup. It was a busy one; aside from playing a bunch of shows (thanks to all of you for coming out!), we just put the final touches on what we hope will be the final mix of our debut album, "Walk On." If all goes as planned, we should be announcing an official release date soon.
With the impending release of "Walk On," 2009 promises to be even busier; we're even kicking around the idea of a mini-Midwest tour in the summer to promote the record. And it all starts with a January 28th show at the Red Line Tap. Details on this show are still TBA, but we're planning to debut some new material, including a bluesy torch song by Gabrielle, a Zeppelinesque epic by Karl (his first contribution to the corpus of Cartographeriana), and what we're pretty confident in calling the only alt.country retelling of the ancient Hindu tale known as the Ramayana. You don't want to miss this show, so keep an eye out for future updates.
In the meantime, we hope you are all enjoying the holidays and want to thank you again for your support of the band!
Yours, The Lost Cartographers
