I can't explain how much reckless joy this band brings me. I've been into this band forever! The band name is great too! I always heard that they got the band name from the gangster in the Flintstones cartoon This gangster sold Fred a stolen piano and who doesn't like the Flintstones?

Anyways I did a little browsing around youtube and did not see these on here, so I uploaded not one, but two 88FL songs! One just isn't enough, plus the first one is so short. These don't follow each other on the album (Admission, is the last one) but it sounds like they do here.  I had fun with this one because I just snapped many pictures with my digital camera (not sure the exact number used) and then decided to go with no bullshit and leave out the transitions and deliver a hard hitting slider. 

Not all the pictures are great, but I always want to do more than just upload a static picture and the songs. So I hope you like the assault of pictures here. Things slowed down after the 1st song, but the pictures keep on coming! I woulda got some more pictures if my battery didn't die. I feel kinda bad I didn't get a picture of the drummer from my lyrics booklet. But you can bet he is rockin' them and without a shirt even! My apoligies

Well I could write here forever, but 88 Fingers Louie was a great band and I still listen to them often and they were a favorite of mine to bring in to the backroom at work and blow out my stereo cd player. I hope you enjoyed it. I like Rise Against too, but I sorta lost interest in them after awhile. Well mainly after Revolutions Per Minute. I heard a lot of their newer stuff and did buy 'Siren Song.' It's just Mr. Dan Precision got kicked out of the band (for reasons, I was never sure of....one of the things I heard is the fact they didn't like the image of him having long hair in the band).

So any Rise Against and 88 Fingers Louie fans if you got something to say, post it here and inform me because I don't keep up on the latest news on every band anymore. Well following this is a note from Mr. Dan Precision off the Hopeless website, I guess it is a bitter sweet swan song for the description. Anyone know what he is up to lately? I know he was in Break the Silence which is a fuckin' awesome punk/metal/hardcore hybrid band. If you never heard them check the stuff out.

"I know exactly what you are thinking. You're asking yourself, "I thought those 88 guys said they were back together for good; what the hell happened?" Unfortunately when I stated that we were back together for good, I didn't realize that not all of us actually meant it. Once again, another lie that I believed. Wait let me rephrase that; another lie that we believed. 

I'm not going to start complaining about all of the things that went wrong, or all of the things that should've happened if we all envisioned the same goals. I, for one, have very fond memories of all of the times we enjoyed in 88 FINGERS LOUIE. And even though it was a harsh and hostile end, I still wouldn't give up any of it. 

We couldn't just give up our love of music and pack it up. We decided to carry on, and have formed a melodic hardcore band called RISE AGAINST. Joe is still playing bass, and I'm still on guitar. A great Chicago hardcore band called IN TRUTH broke up a few months back, and we were lucky to be joined by Tony, who is our new drummer and by Kevin who is our second guitar player. Our new singer Tim, was the front man of a well known Chicago emo rock band called BAXTER. 

Until we get everything together, including a web site for RISE AGAINST, we will be posting any new info on the 88 FINGERS LOUIE web site. Joe and I will still be answering any questions at [email protected] (Joe) or [email protected] (Dan)

Ciao,
Mr. Dan Precision"
