Pickwick drew a sizable crowd to Slowdown's front room on Monday, a crowd including The Mynabirds' Laura Burhenn who helped sing "Lady Luck." See photos from the night here.

The Spits play Slowdown tonight after a show in Denver on Sunday and before stops in St. Louis and Austin this week. It's a trek that requires fans to show up, or else The Spits might not be back.
