Split Lip Rayfield News.
I know it has been a while since Split Lip Rayfield have played in Duluth but some of you out there remember those high octane shows. Now they are on hiatus because of guitarist Kirk Rundstrom's recently discovered Esophogeal Cancer.
From their website.

The first time Split Lip came to Duluth they arrived all pretty hung over from their previous show in Chicago. It was summer so I took them for a swim in Gitchee Gumee and as always the big lakes healing powers prevailed and that nights show was amazing.
Here's to a speedy recovery Mr. Rundstrom, get back to Duluth just as soon as you can.

Oh!
I hope he will be OK.
I have dragged out different groups of friends to see them play at the 400 Bar and at Lees and they in turn make new fans out of all who come along.

Keep playing music, Kurt. Music kills cancer.
