Sunday in the Park

Last Sunday we played a benefit for the Toys for Tots. There was a great crowd of about 1000 bikers on hand and the weather was perfect.

Back to the studio now, OK?

They're Back!

Last week we came out of our electric factory and played at a fundraiser/ awards banquet to benefit a local battered women's shelter in Destin. The event was the 1st annual Beachcomber Music Awards which was to recognize the "best musicians" in the local Destin lounge scene. Even thogh we are clearly not a "lounge act", we played because Donnie was nominated as a result of his short stint backing up a local blues guitarist on a few gigs.

I never watch the Grammy's or any of the other award shows because to me, they are strictly political who-do-you-know events that fail to even recognize the true greats that often fly under the radar, but I digress.

Before we got up to play, the audience had been treated to several local lounge acts performing and had seen the best drummer award given to another player from a 1-4-5 band.

We played two songs from our 2006 release Musical Chairs (Audio Goo and Martian Conversation). When they asked for an encore, we played Chim Chim Cherie (from Sounding Rick - Live in Japan). Yes, we stuck out like a sore thumb amidst the other acts, but I think the audience loved the pain. As for Donnie, we'll get him a bobblehead Buddy Rich as an award because he's wasn't just the best drummer, he was the best DEMO!

PS It's true, we are currently huddled in the studio working on the follow up album to Musical Chairs. Stay tuned for more fun to come!

It's Been a While
