Way back in November of last year we profiled one of the hardest working diy collectives in the Midwest, Lawrence Kansas’ Chomp Womp. This past weekend, one of the main artists behind CW — Baby Birds Don’t Drink Milk — e-mailed us to give an update of their summer plans, and man are they busy.

Until we actually get the new music in hand, we’ll leave you with the BBDDM song “Fort Pork Chop” and their summer plans in their words. Notice the lack of days off in their tour schedule.
