- Release Notes - -

The last time 88 Fingers Louie graced any stage with their presence was back
in 1999. Over the past 10 years, there were countless requests for them to
get back together and play again for their die-hard fans just one more time.

They decided to appease those fans and set up their reunion show at the
Bottom Lounge in their home town of Chicago. On August 15, 2009, they played
a 26-song set to a sold out crowd, and they captured the show, in its
entirety, in order to release this 78-minute live CD, entitled Lives.

Fans swarmed from all over the United States, Canada, England, and even
Australia. Original guitarist, Dan Precision, recorded, mixed, and mastered
this live CD and truly captured the intense energy from both on and off the
stage.

88 Fingers Louie felt that it was best for one of their own to perform these
duties to seize the true sound that helped bring about their popularity.

The live lineup consisted of founding members Denis Buckley (vocals) and Dan
Precision (guitars), as well as John Carroll (who was the last 88 drummer and
played on Back on the Streets and the Kid Dynamite Split). John Contreras
took up the bass to fill in for founding member Joe Principe (Rise Against).
As a special treat to the fans, 88 Fingers Louie invited their second
drummer, Glenn Porter (Alkaline Trio), to join them on stage for 4 songs.

It was truly and night to remember and now it will be accessible to all of
those who couldnt take part in that part of 88 history.
