October 28 @ 7pm<p>For Halloween this year, the entire band had planned to perform in gold spandex jumpsuits for our Oct. 28th gig at the Burren Backroom. But word got out and the whole thing spiraled into a huge kerfuffle. You probably read about it in the pages of Variety or Highlights Magazine. No? Well, then you probably saw the coverage on Univision or The Tea-Cozy Channel. No? Really? It was a whole thing.</p>
<p>Anyway, to make a long story short-and-totally-fabricated: Some well-intentioned fans staged an intervention while another faction--equally well-intentioned--offered to pay the cost of the spandex. In the end, however, having lost the element of surprise, the band felt it best to go to Plan B. So...</p>
<p><em>On Saturday, October 28th, in front of fans, friends and family, the entirety of TSN11 will perform music you love dressed as middle-aged white guys who love playing music. Come witness our subtle transformation starting at 7pm </em></p>
