This week was not too busy compared to the chaos of the past few weeks.I had a practice with my coverband,Thunderpants.This is for our private party coming up in December,after we have to start rehearsals for the New years show at the House of blues,which will be a lot of fun.This is my 3rd year of playing the New years show.All in all I have around 11 shows this December.
There was also a show with Steve Steele at BFE rock club.It was a decent night apart from the hassle of having to set up my whole kit,plus sampler in 15 mins.So that pissed me off and made it a struggle to enjoy what was a pretty good show.Plus the monitor was not loud enough!!!.C'est la vie!
Next show is with Steve Steele at Super Happy Funand.Hopefully we can get a decent crowd there.In any case we can refine the show more and get tighter as a unit.
Cheers!

Good weekend
This weekend past was a busy one for me.Full of gigs and an award show on Tuesday.
I had a coverband gig on Friday with a fill in guitarist which was cool.
With Steve Steele we had our first "real" gig which was at the Houston Press Awards Showcase on Saturday.
Headlining at the House of Blues wasn't too bad even if we were put in with a load of country bands!! The set was solid and ran quite smoothly with no real hic-ups.Even though the drum kit they had was not quite up to par. They do a pretty good job at HOB.
The next show was at Super Happy Funland with Steve Steele.This was a better show than the previous night.We started off with a jam for 5 or 6 mins,King Crimson style.After, we just moved the set around a little and had some fun with it!Got some good video and some Decent audio which we may be able to use...
Tuesday was the Houston Press Awards Show.Steve was nominated for Best Rock and Best Male Vocals.Unfortunately he didn't win.However,everyone had a great night and we all met some really cool people/bands.
Smile everyone!!
Cheers!!
