INCOMING: Mutts Play Riot Fest Sunday at 12:30 on Radical Stage #Riotfest #ChiILPicksLIst

Here at ChiIL Live Shows we've been tracking the rise of Chicago favorites, Mutts, for years now. Click here for loads of our photo filled Mutts coverage. They're a staple of summer fests and put on a rockin' live show. If you can drag your butts outta bed by noon Sunday, come on out and make the most of the final day of Riot Fest with an early start. They're one band worth waking up for. If not, their 4th studio release is about to drop and they'll be touring. Ones to watch.

Via Mutts:

We're playing RIOT FEST 2014!

If you're headed there this weekend, come see us Sunday 9/14 at 12:30pm on the Radical Stage. We're proud to be one of a few Chicago-based bands representing at Riot Fest this year, including our good friends Archie Powell and the Exports.

And speaking of them, here's an early warning for our LP Release Show:

Fuel Yer Delusion, vol. 4

Our fourth full-length studio album, Fuel Yer Delusion vol. 4, will be available on CD, digital and vinyl on Tuesday, December 9th.

But you, my friend, can pick it up early at our LP Release show!

We're still deciding between two venues and dates, but the lineup is all set, and it's definitely going down the first weekend in December:

Fuel Yer Delusion vol. 4 Release Party

Either ???????????? or ?????

Chicago, IL

December 5 or 6

Mutts

with:

1. ?????? ?????? ? ??? ??????? (Chicago)

2. ??? ???????? (Chicago)

3. ??? ???? ??? ???? (??????????)

I know that's a wickedly nebulous announcement. We're just excited to get our 4th LP to you. Blues Traveler 4, Led Zeppelin 4, Connect Four, Tetris, the word "Friend," according to Cake - these are other legendary quad-related things, an echelon we hope to join with this record.

There we go again, with the delusion.

Anyway.

Whether it's at ???-? or ?????, we're headlining, with three of our favorite bands on the bill, and it'll be time to kick off the holiday season. With so many reasons to celebrate, please pencil Mutts in on your calendar, and stay tuned for the details - plus our first single and video - coming in the next week or two.

Chicago! Our home, our family and friends, the place we became a band, the place our sound comes from, and the place we often get silly drunk and play punk-ass shows with kick-ass bands. We've blazed past 100 tour dates already this year, representing our home town in 20 or so states, as best we can. And we're excited to bring it back to you with these two uproarious shows. Hope to see you at one, or both! Until then, take care of yerselves.

Love,

Mike, Bob and Chris
