MI has been performing a few shows this year (with Phil Angotti) for the 20th anniversary of IPO. Looks like they’re selling some vintage designed shirts from back in the day. Really cool! http://www.materialissue.bigcartel.com/

A nice summation of one of the most influential, inspiring bands of all time. Jim Ellison’s legacy will live forever through his hauntingly , often painfully honest songwriting. RIP Jim…thanks for giving them the credit from the “critics” that they have always received from their fans.

Jim I miss you think about you often and the times I drove you home from school on Thursday nights, I guess you were right all I needed to know were three chords. Wish you were still here.
