A great time was had by all at Sousaphenia 3 at Martyrs’ in Chicago, and The Viper and His Famous Orchestra kept good company with Environmental Encroachment, Bassel & The Supernaturals, and the 4 Star Brass Band. We’ll be back in Chicago on Jan. 25 to play at the Uncommon Ground on Devon, along with Jack & Ace. So come and see us there — it’ll be an event!.

We played the following songs at Martyrs’, two of which (“Bled-a-Loe Lang-de-lang” and “Hotzeplotz Calls”) saw their debut at this show (extra points if you can spot the typo in the image of the set-list at the bottom of the page):

• The Fillmore & Buchanan March
• Bled-a-loe Lang-de-lang
• Hotzeplotz Calls
• Good Morning Irene
• My Seafaring Lassie
• The Monsters Are Coming
• Heartbreak for Beginners
• Stopper in My Hand
