For all of you out there that actually keep up with what we’re doing, i feel compelled to give you a recap of our face rockin weekend.  At high noon,  we all met at the headquarters better known as “summertown” USA (the motherland of rock).  It was a beautiful Friday,  73 degrees and sunny so our chill was at its maximum level.  After loading the trailor all 8 of us pile in the blue bullet to make our way down to birmingham.  We had everything we needed for our rock and roll invasion, instruments, amps, trail mix, and an indian head dress (the head dress was essential in purchasing an ipod adapter from ghetto radio shack as well as giving indian blessing ceremonies to the random crazies after our athens show).  We hit the road and decide we are hungry so we pull into a subway in lenoir city where i found out that eric savage used to be called “pepper jack pete” in high school due to an incident with pepper jack cheese.

Moving forward with the recap,  we finally arrive in birmingham.  It was our first time ever in Birmingham so we were pretty pumped about hitting a new market.  We were opening up for our friends “High Tide Blues” who are an awesome band.  I highly recommend you check them out.  It was also exciting because we were going to attempt to play 3 new songs at the show just to see if we could pull them off.  After finishing up with our load-in, sound check, dinner, etc.  it was time to relax and focus on rockin.  As the night went on it was about time for us to go on.  We hit the stage to a pretty packed out and energetic club.  We hit the first note and everything fell into place smoothly.  We sounded raw yet polished from an intense few weeks of rehearsing.  We decide that for the last song we are gonna play “We’ll Be the Light.”  People were going crazy as well as singing the words to the song.  Thats pretty cool especially because we have never performed there.  The night was full of shenanigans with the cake taking shenanigan being doody singing lead vocals with high tide blues.  Don’t ask how that went.  Rockin Friday!!!

We get up on Saturday to another beautiful morning and get ready to head over to Athens, Ga.  For this trip we picked up an extra man,  Sean Doody.  Somehow he just decided that he was going to leave his jeep in birmingham and come to athens with us.  Let me shed some light on the fact that Sean goes to school at Auburn.  As far as Sean goes,he finds himself tied up to three different cities on Saturday, but he didn’t seem to care so we didn’t either.  Sean took it upon himself to suggest a primo dining spot for lunch called milo’s.  Mitch, Jenkins, and I felt a little sketchy about it so we decided to eat at the neighboring arby’s.  When we all meet back up it turns out that we chose wisely,  evidently all that milo’s has to offer on the menu are barfburgers and tea that tastes like cat urine,  so durdy.  From there we hit it down to athens to provide another evening of rock.  15 minutes before we were suppose to start,  we were informed that the bullet and our trailer was about to be towed so James has to move to a legal parking spot (not on the sidewalk where we decided to park).  This definitely takes about 20 minutes so we start cutting songs.  We finally hear from James,he is still in the van looking for somewhere to park in a town that resembles a zoo that has no cages.  Thank God for our friend Daniel Clower who saved our set by taking the van and parking it for us.  He also provided us with a place to stay so here’s to you Daniel Clower,  you are a true american hero.  This time we are the opener for a band called “The Constellations” who just signed a four record deal with virgin records.  They rock as well.  We start our set 15 minutes late so we had to cut a few songs.  We begin to rock and immediately the crowd is into it.  At this point we really start rockin,  rockin so hard that my amp just decides to stop producing sound at a very crucial moment in the song that was being played.  It did this a few other times and we finally figured out that the power strip on that side of the stage was made right after electricity was discovered.  After we fix the problem we really start to turn up the rock.  By the end of the set we were so full throttle that jenkins almost knocked me off the stage,  it was awesome.  We hit the last note and are trying to get off the stage when the crowd erupts in a “one more song”  encore.  It was intense so we had to give em one more.   We finished up with “Loving Cup” warming up the stage for “The Contellations.”  It was beautiful.

Love,
