   About varsity drag
Don't you just hate "band bios?" So do we.

There was this guy, Ben Deily...he wrote songs. Some people enjoyed playing music with him. So, blah blah blah, folks hung out, beverages was consumed, instruments were manhandled, recordings were made. Europe was, surprisingly, toured.

Hell, make up your own damn history. It'll probably be more interesting. We'll even help get you started: "Once upon a time...a man woke up covered in vomit and schnapps in an Arkansas police station. It was only then that he realized he was missing his..."

You get the idea. Hey, have fun with it.

(BELOW: A variety of clips from the European Tour. Good times.)

HEY - Unfortunately we are NOT playing the Midway Cafe tonight - UNLIKE it says on their calendar! Girl in a Coma canceled that show a month ago and the Midway never removed it from their schedule! So, to anyone that had read that - so sorry, but Varsity Drag ain't gonna be doing our thing tonight!
