Lights!!!!

Since the chinese withdrawl of our light system when Brian left, I went out to Rogers Ohio and grabbed a light set up which is... as you may have guessed... made in TPC or the peoples republic of china.... Soooooo... I guess we can still thank the country for our light show. No more 100% lights on though, I grabbed a light board so we can set scenes, change lighting and make the show better. We have a new sound system, a new light system, a new lineup and we'll have some new songs. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET BACK OUT THERE! Now we just need to find some good representation and we are set.

Updates

Well? What can I say... Brian quit the band and we had to find a replacement. Don't worry, the guy we got to replace him is very good, and quite a nice guy. We'll be back in the Fall with a new lineup, some new songs, and a new attitude.... Bigger and Better! We're gonna miss Brian.... Everybody take a drink!

Sorry its been a while....

Sorry that its been so long since I've posted anything, but between school (yeah thats right... I'm a college boy now), the drama of whacked out ex's, being recently unemployed... It's been nutz! Anyway, we've put together a string of great shows, look forward to retooling the show this summer and really appreciate the support our fans have shown at all of the shows. The Polish White Eagles was amazing. Special thanks to John Briney, our unofficial/official photographer/videographer who has posted some really good bootleg video of the band the past few eweeks on youtube. For those of you who want to see... go to youtube and search jcbassboomer. You'll see plenty of good video, and some of his from the sofa king cool band. (I dare you to say that 5 X's fast). Anyway, it was a good show at the Manor Legion this past weekend and we had an appreciative crowd for St Patricks Day. We kinda miss Randy at the shows... but I hear his employer is working him to death. Hope to see more people at the shows in the future. The Ghost Of Billy The Kid is going to be developed in the next few weeks and sent for publishing and development hopefully for TV or the movies (wishful thinking). The concept has just about everyone who has heard of it thinking "big time" for the song and the story. In talking to Moe on the way home last night, we talked about the possibilities for Farmer's Market also. I just have to tie down and do it. I've gotten bits and pieces done, but never had the time to fully develop things. Now that finals are next week (alll papers and no tests) I sould have some time to work on them. I just have to discipline myself to do it like a 9-5 thing and really work at it. So... that's whats been happenin on my end. For the few who do read this. Se you next time

Polish White Eagles Society

Well.... Last week the job was cancelled and the venue shut down for the evening... 30 inches of snow later and a light dusting of a half inch last night and whats happened? Well the Saints won the Super Bowl and we had the LARGEST and GREATEST indoor crowd we have ever played for. Many of our crowd came to see us but we had plenty of new faces. They sang, they danced, they yelled and screamed. What a gig. The band unanimously voted this the best ever yet!

Now... all our crowds are great and so are ALL of our fans, but last night was magical. A sweethearts Valentines dance of over 200 people, most of whom stayed.

THANK YOU CHEWTON!!! YOU REALLY ROCK!

Has it REALLY been that long?

DANG!!! I can't believe how I have slacked off on the blog!!! Hmmmm, I got unemployed by a rat ass company 2 weeks before Christmas.... We had a GREAT New Years at the Town and Country.... some dumbass ex showed up at a job and not only made a complete fool of herself, she had to get a taste of her own medicine and ended up being shot down, shown up and outclassed. Way to go to the wives and girlfriends who again made the guys in the band PROUD with their good behavior. Unfortunately in this business, someone is always trying to create drama to make themselves feel important rather than have a good time. Isnt it about time we all just live and let live? (I used to be F off and Die but I grew up... Hahahahahaha)

Then Huey got sick combined with the snowstorm from hell which cancelled a job and this past week was the Turners club. We displayed some unusual and uncharacteristic rust at first, but had it fixed by the 2nd set. This week is our make up date for the job that got cancelled so no more time off. New and original material is on tap to do for 2010 & I'll try to get to this more often.... I start college 2moro and its gonna be fun!
