Come nestle up by the fire, roast some chestnuts and warm your buns with us, The Flavor Savers and our friends, BC, GHOSTHOUSE, DJ PhoneyBologna and more at The Elbo Room, December 18th. Tickets are $10. We’ll be drinking eggnog, visiting with surprise guests and singing songs of the season. It’s going to be a grand old time full of delicious, warm, slightly awkward, strangely arousing holiday cheer, just like when you were a kid! We’ll also be selling our brand-spanking new 2011 calendars, which make the perfect holiday gift.
The Flavor Savers & Friends’ Holiday Special!
December 3rd, 2010New video, a cool poster and a Halloween show
October 21st, 2010First off, hello there. Hope you’re comfortable. It’s been a while. So nice to see you again.
We’ve got a show on 10/31, otherwise known as Halloween. It’s going to be a spooktacular party at Goose Island in Chicago. You can find out more about the show on Swizzle Steve’s website and RSVP on Facebook.
This very cool poster is from our friend Lou at Ha! Studios. We also made a new video for the event, but be warned, it may be too scary for some viewers and too sexy for others.
Romeo DanceCheetah’s World Air Guitar Adventure
September 25th, 2010
Romeo in Finland
The Air Guitar World Championships has to be the most unique experience I’ve had in this lifetime. Twenty some odd individuals selected by their country are flown to the air guitar capital of the world, located just south of the North Pole, in order to bring peace to the world. (Check out their website for more on how playing air guitar ends wars and brings peace. http://www.airguitarworldchampionships.com) Some might not think air guitarists are worthy candidates to represent entire nations, but I really felt like I was apart of this international council of delegates that represented a very weird version of the world. When everyone was introducing themselves at the “AIR-ientation,” it was really awesome to say “Romeo DanceCheetah representing the U.S. These were some of the coolest, interesting, nicest people I’ve ever met. You get to know a person real quick when you’re cheek-to-cheek at a Finnish Karaoke bar singing “We are the Champions” by Queen. That was day one of our Oulu leg of the trip.
House of Blues and I AM FEST, here we come.
August 26th, 2010We’re getting ready for our big show this weekend at the House of Blues. The show is part of I AM FEST, a sweet music fest dedicated to Chicago bands and artists. The whole thing is put together by the fine folks at The Elbo Room, and we’re juicin’ ourselves thinking about how much fun we’re gonna have. Check out this very sexy, erotic poster that our friend Lou over at Ha! Studio made for us. We tried to put it up in Starbucks, but they said no. But you may catch a glimpse of one around Chicago. That is if they haven’t already been pulled down by poster collectors with good taste or overly-concerned mothers.
New Video, Next Show: I Am Fest, House of Blues, August 28th

Romeo Dance Cheetah Wins National Air Guitar Championships: All Hail his Airness
July 26th, 2010
We all knew that Romeo Dance Cheetah was the “air” apparent to the US Air Guitar Crown. Now, everybody else knows it too. That’s because, July 22nd in the year of our Lord 2010, Romeo Dance Cheetah won the US National Air Guitar Championships in New York City’s Irving Plaza, taking the Air throne and placing his name forever in halls of air greatness along side legends such as William Ocean, Hot Lixx Hulahan and the Rockness Monster. Next Romeo heads to Finland to compete in the World Championships on August 27th and if he wins, he gets an actual guitar. He represents all U.S. air guitar hopes and dreams. He is our Air Ambassador, our Imaginary Instrument Envoy, our Pretend Picking Plenipotentiary and we couldn’t be prouder. So cheer on our Jungle King and stay tuned for more news. For a link to our last blog post about Romeo’s journey to reach the finals, click here. There are also some great pics on Brooklyn Vegan’s site.
Here’s a video of the performance, as well as a video of some sweet coverage on MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow show. Check out the logo in the background; it’s all Dance Cheetah.

Back from Bonnaroo: Thanks ManChestHair, TN!
June 14th, 2010Whoa, what an amazing, incredible time we had at Bonnaroo in good old ManChestHair, Tenn. We made so many new friends, danced like animals, took a ton of photos, saw some incredible beards and mustaches and blew our loads every day on stage. We even got some press coverage, including this little interview from a magazine called “Rolling Stone.” We’re not exactly sure who they are, but we’re real glad they got in to talk to us.
Thanks to all our new pals and to all the folks who came and saw us at the Solar Stage; many of whom came every day. We’re so very glad you came, over and over and over again. We hope that every show of ours elicits the same response. Also a special thanks to the Bonnaroo staff, the wonderful Brian at Intuitive Ink who brought us into Roo and also the good folks at the American Mustache Institute for helping getting us there.
If you have any sweet pics for videos with us, we’d love to see them. You can send them to theflavorsavers@gmail.com or post them as fan pics to our facebook page. Thanks again!
Now we’ll leave you with a video and a pic of our butts.
We’re playing Bonnaroo, Hippie Bitches!
May 15th, 2010
Yep. Bonnaroo and The Flavor Savers. It’s happening. Mud, camping, drum circles, mind enhancement, body degradation, dancing around with our arms out while looking up, you name it, it’s all gonna be happening for The Flavor Savers this year at Bonnaroo June 10th-13th. It’s gonna be fun, it’s gonna be weird and it’s gonna be sexy as hell.
Romeo Dance Cheetah, King of the Midwest Air Guitar
April 27th, 2010As some of you may know, Flavor Saver, Romeo Dance Cheetah, is a smokin’ hot air guitar champion.
Nobody plucks air with the raw sexual energy, the cat like agility, or the laser-guided, heat-seeking missile precision of Romeo Dance Cheetah. His fiery air licks cannot be heard from the mountain to the dell, cannot be heard from the river to the stream, cannot be heard from the Super Walmart, to the regular sized Walmart. In truth they cannot be heard anywhere because, they are imaginary. But if they could, it would stop your heart. Watching Romeo perform is a beautiful thing. So beautiful in fact, that last year Romeo was crowned Chicago Regional Air Guitar Champion.
At this years competition, however, a great sadness occurred when, after a long and hard battle with the hammer wielding, bear-hearted, double-sided-axe shredding, Nordic Thunder, Romeo Dance Cheetah was forced to give up his throne to the Norseman. The gods wept bitterly that night for the loss. Except for the Norse gods, who threw a party, with wenches and assorted Norse meats and cheeses.
But worry not, dear readers, for that did not stop our hero Romeo, for in legendary fashion, Romeo did what any real warrior would do when faced with a challenge, he packed his air guitar into it’s air case and went to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. And there, in Milwaukee, land of suds and brews, he defeated the voracious, deadly Mean Melin, to be crowned Milwaukee’s Air Guitar King, expanding his Midwestern air influence.
What the future holds for Romeo no one really knows. Unless you count that we know he will be going to New York to compete for the glorious title of America’s Air Guitar Champion. Yeah, that we do know. But other than that, it’s pure mystery.
We salute our fellow Saver in his quest. We’ve put together some news and video info for you to check out. We also would like to invite all of you to join us in New York to cheer on Romeo. There’s ticket info for that below.

The Flavor Savers at Cubby Bear - Saturday, April 24th
April 23rd, 2010This one is going to be a lot of fun. It’s Model Stranger’s album release party, and they were kind enough to ask us to rock the Casbah with them. We’re pretty excited. We even got new costumes to sport for the affair.
