Closing Night at the Viaduct!!!


Show #5 was a cornucopia of voices, vices, and vintage dance styles. The Tacky Annies kicked off the show with a great set of...dances, all inspired by early 20th century dance genres. They tapped, did the Charleston, Lindied, and they did much of it with their hair in finger waves, and their bodies in corsets, and frilly underwear. Go see them perform.
Our set included songs such as...
  1. Why Did You Get My Mom Wasted? (from our album "Never Ever Have I Ever")

  2. Zits (from "Songs We Wrote When We Were High")

  3. Hamburgers, Cheeseburgers, Fries (from our album benefiting Anorexia)

  4. Slime (because Slime People are People too)

  5. Rubber Ice Tray

  6. Suck On This (from our first all-guy threesome)

  7. Show Me on the Doll (a song for kids!)

  8. I'm Gonna Cry (inspired by one of our many ex-girlfriends in the audience)

  9. Gonorrhea is Sad

  10. Rubix Cube I Almost Completed (from "Things We Lost Under the Bed")

  11. Sofa Chair Chaise

  12. Jump!!! (Not to be confused with "Jump for My Love" or the song by the same name by Kris Kross)
At the end of our set we even had our own go-go dancers join us onstage. We're thinking of adding cages to our stage setup for all future shows. That way we'll be more family friendly.

Half Way There


Show #3 at the viaduct opened with the dulcet tones of Stealth Like a Canoe, a romantically entwined duo who trade off on guitar, accordion, ukulele, keys and vocals. They certainly rocked the boat (or canoe in their case). We're going to be best facebook friends FOREVER...or until facebook gets replaced by another social networking site. Then we might actually have to have face time. I know. Hanging out with people is so 1998, but we in Reset List break social norms like pretzel sticks.

We played another set of your favorite songs last night which included...

1. Pot Can Kill You (from "Reset List Goes to College")
2. What Did You Do 2 Tha Dawg (from "Awkward Conversations With Your Parents.")
3. Mullets (from the album "Bad Hair Day")
4. Luge (from our "Chicago 2016 Album"...even though Luge is technically a winter sport...shut it.)
5. Allopecia (from our album, "Diseases")
6. You know Why?! (an ex-girlfriend song, who just so happened to be in the audience)
7. The Homeless E Bombination
8. The Tribal Armband Tattoo
9. Corn in the Pool
10. Robots Like to Fuck (from our Sci-fi album)
11. Suck My Caucus (written during our run for office in 2008)
12. I'm Married to My Sister

Next week Chicago stand-up comedian, Ken Barnard, opens the show. See you there.

Blue Reset Glee List Club...or Night #2 at the Viaduct

For show #2 we teamed up with the Blue Ribbon Glee Club, Chicago's one and only punk/alternative rock glee club. A group of 25 people singing a Black Sabbath cover accompanied by nothing by cymbals is nothing short of gleeful. They kicked off the night and got the audiences ears properly lubricated so we could make sweet musical love with their cochleas.

Our set list this week included...

1. Welcome Home Michael
2. A Toupee is Not an Altar
3. Fuck Me Like it's Middle School
4. In St. Petersburg, I Got the Urge
5. Pepsi
6. Work Horse
7. Destination Des Moines
8. Ireland Vs. Scotland (Scotland wins, just so you know)
9. Save the Whales
10. My Dick is Amazing
11. Knife Fight
12. Lions, Tigers, Bears and Pi
Show #3 is coming up and with it Stealth Like a Canoe. We hope to see you all there.

Thanks again to everyone who came out to have their faces rocked off.  PLEASE NOTE: All faces were returned to their rightful owners at the end of the show, some in better condition then before they were removed.  This Thursday we will be performing a brand spanking new set list for your enjoyment.  The Blue Ribbon Glee Club, Chicago's one and only punk rock glee club opens.
