The winning song will be featured for an extended solo/live jam whenever the band feels like it.

The evening's bill begins at 9pm, and The Riot Shields themselves are slated to go on at 11pm. Make sure you do not miss this unique experience, as Zaenker and Wollitz take a break from their demanding schedule of CC session work to put on a rip-roarin' rock 'n' roll extravaganza.

Who needs tazers and cattle prods when you have killer fills and dynamite riffs?

*****NEW ALBUM NEWS, 11/15/06: Hello CC fans! It is again update time, and we here at causticcasanova.com have great news to report! Having spoken personally to both Francis and Michael in the past week, we are thrilled to announce that important progress has been made on the new album. The first batch of demos has been recorded, and these new songs are now in an advanced development stage. With such a significant number of new tunes in the pipeline, the band is currently keeping a low profile while organizing its material, building a plan of attack for its fourth LP, and eyeing a Winter/Spring '07 return to the studio. Though understandably reluctant to divulge much more at this time, in a brief interview your favourite bass baron and guitar god did let loose that, thus far, the new material was thematically leaning in a darker direction, and musically more diverse and daring than ever. With that, CC Nation, please try and remain calm! We will post more updates as we have them.

*****UPDATE TIME!!! Hey everyone! As another summer winds to a close, we just wanted to keep you all informed as to the latest happenings in the Caustic Casanova camp. Indeed, it has been a busy and eventful past three months for the band, yet there still has been time for.....(killer Zaenker drumroll please) new music! That's correct. Each member has been hard at work contributing to a large batch of new songs. The tunes are still in their formative stages, but we here at the website have been lucky enough to hear some early arrangements, and let us tell you, they sound quite promising! Numbered amongst the new pieces are songs such as "Softshell" "Hang Ten, Brozef!" "I Have Sold My Soul, And For What?" "The Town Crier" "Golden Bear" "Vine Of Violets" "When Your Line of Work Dictates That You Not Drink During The Week (The Alcoholic Roofer's Song)" And as rumour has it, there is even a chance that legendary CC B-sides "Baby Fat" and "Thoughtlessness Breeds Sabotage" might finally be completed. We cannot reveal much more at this time, but as always, thanks for your continued support, and stay tuned for more details as they become available.

*****Dichotomies is now available!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, the third album from Caustic Casanova has been released. The running time is about 30 minutes for this six song monster.
