What’s
up gang?
So another action packed weekend has just
passed and boy do I have stories. As you all know we played this weekend
at The Compound in Fitchburg, MA. It has been quite a while since we
have played there. So just like Northernlights, we were anxious to get
on stage. This show was a last minute deal for us. Our best friends,
Brookfield, called us earlier in the week and asked us if we would join
the bill. I don’t know if you have ever witnessed a Binaural-Brookfield
bill, but they are always fun. So of course we said yes. We were happy
to get to the club and meet up with some long time fans that we haven’t
seen in a while. And our fans must be doing their job there cause when
we hit the stage the place was well occupied. We had a really fun set,
as usual. After the show I heard that people were making bets if I was
going to pass out during our last song ‘Good Times’ or not.
I would like to say that I didn’t pass out but came very, very
close. Brookfield hit the stage right after us and I swear they get
better and better every time we see them.
So this is the time were I usually talk
about our after gig midnight food run, but we came in different cars
this time so could I cannot report on what Brandon attempted to order.
But I believe I did hear that they were unable to find an open fast
food chain this time. Oh well.
Now for the very exciting part of the
weekend. Saturday night we had the opportunity to see a kick ass band
play at Pearl St Nightclub in Northampton, MA. That band was The Black
Crowes. Now you’re probably asking, “How the hell are the
Black Crowes playing at Pearl St. and how the hell didn’t I hear
about this.” Well they played under the name Mr. Crowes Garden.
This was the bands original name back in the late 80’s. Wow, did
we have the time of our lives. We were about 10 feet away from Chris
Robinson the whole night. Well my ears are still ringing from the show
today but it is still very worth it. We saw The Black Crowes in a club.
So that is about all the excitement from
this weekend. We are working on booking more and more shows so keep
checking into the website for updates. Thanks for all the support that
you all give us. Check you later.
Rock-on

Hello
everyone,
Wow, this is our first journal entry.
Where can I start? Well last night’s show at Northern Lights in
Clifton Park, NY was one to write about. This is one of our favorite
places to play and we haven’t been there in over a year and a
half. So it was nice to hit the stage last night and play some good
old rock ‘n roll for the people of the Albany area. I don’t
if you have ever been to Northern Lights in the winter months but it
is roughly 4 degrees warmer inside as it is outside. But still worth
it, cause about five minutes after being on stage under the lights it
feels about 150 degrees on stage. Well, the band Savoir Hate asked us
to play on this bill. These guys are some of the nicest guys we have
ever met. We definitely have made some new friends after this night.
So, every time we have played at Northern Lights it has been some of
the shortest sets imaginable. Last night we had about a 45 minute set,
so we didn’t know what to do with all that time. We thought about
playing the same 15 minute set three times. But we opted against that
in the end. So I believe that the highlight of the set was my explanation
of why we renamed our song “Wicked” to “Jimmy Dean’s
Wicked Awesome Sausage” for the night. I could go into detail
but you had to be there to completely appreciate it. We also gave a
shout out to one of our favorite bartenders, Jeff, which he will never
forget. If you have never been to Northern Lights it is worth it just
to go meet Jeff. And remember to tip that S.O.B. or he will kick your
ass and take some names. Also during the show I somehow found a way
to completely wrap myself in my own mic cable. I didn’t think
that I was going to be able to get out of it or worse I thought I was
going to fall on my face during the show. But needless to say the show
was amazing and we made many new fans and especially new friends.
After the show we made our typical trek
home and we had our midnight munchies. Well I don’t know if you
have ever been in a car with Brandon when ordering Wendy’s at
midnight but it takes him just under FOREVER to order. But don’t
worry people he didn’t pass out before he got his food like one
other time at a show. We also got ice cream for the ride home. Note
to self, never let Brandon eat ice cream in the presence of a moving
vehicle. Should have seen that coming.
In other news, we have been working on
some new tunes. Hopefully we will have some demo samples up on the website
soon so you can get a sneak peek at our stuff if you are unable to make
it to a show.
Well I am a little distracted today ‘cause
I am in the middle of the “Biker Build Off” marathon on
the Discovery Channel as I type this entry. That could explain my random
babbling I am doing. Well see-ya soon.
Rock-on
Greg
