2011 Year in ReviewHowdy all once again as a New Year is upon us. 2011 was a year of meeting lots of new friends, and more time out on the road. We are looking forward to more of that in 2012! We expected to have an album release in 2011, but got side tracked and didn't get into the studio. No worries though, as we are going to the studio in February, and it is all the better! We are very happy with the way the album is shaping out, and we hope you do too. It will be called "No Place For Children." Stay tuned to our facebook page for release announcements: https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Misery-Jackals We've been on Cleveland Television this year and got to open for Clutch and Flogging Molly. We went all up and down the East Coast from Boston to North Carolina and over to Chicago. Pirate Jenny retired, and we usually appear as a 3 piece, but we still have as good a time as any! We hope to have more accordion, drums and horns in our lives sometime soon for our live performances. This year we played at least 5 festivals that comprise over a hundred bands. Here are the ones we shared a stage with in 2011 (sorry if we forgot anyone!) Nicholas Deveny The Dirt Daubers Steve Trent The Giggity's Dead Federation High Lonesome Down to Six Echo Whiskey Charlie 10 Foot Polecats The Denver Boot Farmer's Union Players James Keyes A Social State Happy Joe Michale Graves The Fleshlights The Garnet Hearts Phillip Roebuck Smokestack and the Foothill Fury Andru Bemis The Pereze Farm The Calamity Cubes The Tillers The Goddamn Gallows The Most Beautiful Losers Black Swamp Freddie Gut Shot Ando Ehlers The Fisticuffs Shivering Timbers Coffin Riders Scoliosis Jones The Rustbelt Homewreckers Dracula and Frankenstein Astronaughts Rachel Brooke Shane Vain and the Mezzacapo Bullriders James Hunnicutt Jayke Orvis and the Broken Band Scissormen Molly Gene One Whoaman Band Mark Porkchop Holder Boom Chick Left Lane Cruiser Lady Leadfoot Shouting Thomas Torment The Strange Notes Clutch Flogging Molly Valleytown Vinyl Back Viva Le Vox Johnny and the Applestompers The Legendary Hucklebucks Larry and His Flask Lionize Weird Penis First Offense Heelsplitter Lords of the Highway Already for January 2012 we are scheduled to play with the Goddamn Gallows, Viva Le Vox, Pinch & Squeal, the Dead Enders, the Whiskey Daredevils and a bunch of other great bands. We expect to travel to the West coast this year, shout out if you want some jackals staying at your house! Thanks again for all your support and Happy New Year! 2010 Year in ReviewHowdy Folks! 2010 was a rough and tumble year for your mangy Misery Jackals. We started out with Pirate Jenny’s shoulder being broken and Beaner MIA scraping boats in Florida. Beaner came back and saved us, then Pirate Jenny nearly killed herself by walking the plank. Despite these mere mortal setbacks, we are still managing to kick ass. We made a new video with the help of the Northeast Ohio Roller Derby : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ByOr59CGf0 An overwhelming number of musicians and folks helped out Pirate Jenny in her time of need, in a blizzard. She thanks you again. We made lots of new friends, played with a bunch of great bands and we look forward to more shows in 2011. Expect a new recording in 2011, tours in the Northeast, Midwest and probably a showing down South a time or 2. A special thanks to all you great friends and musicians for helping us along during the year. Without Eric Baltrinic, Mike Shubert, Jeremy Fisher, Garret Costlow, Martyn Flunoy, Ben Shuber and Kevin Brosine, we’d be fucked! Thanks guys, you are all family. Christine Martin & Jacqi Corgan ~ thank you for your beautiful artwork, your posters are the best. We appreciate all the support we have received from Buzzbin Magazine and Akron's Night Out. Everyone who ever booked us... THANKS! This year, due to difficulties beyond our control, we stayed in the Midwest. Playing from Michigan to North Carolina with a slew of great bands, some of them multiple times, here’s who in chronological order (sorry if we missed somebody). Check them out!

great people, drank unknown gallons of whiskey, and played with no less
