Video game background music gig

My rock & roll band is going into the studio today to do some music. It seems the developers of a Nintendo Wii game similar to Guitar Hero are fans. Should be fun to hear yourself play on a video game.

The one “issue” is that the studio we’re recording in, is run by a guy who I’ve known for a long time and is a total bonehead. This guy walks around town speaking with a British accent, even though he’s probably never even been to the U.K… bonehead.

I want him to be my dad

Thanks to my friend Matt for this video. This clip is of HIS old band but some bonehead father does something terribly stupid in the audience. Watch and enjoy…

Great gig tonight

I enjoyed playing tonight. Enjoyed bashing the shit out of the skins… Tonight my bass player of 25 years, who’d moved away, was back in town. I haven’t seen him for 10 months, but we locked in like he’d never left and made some rock & roll. I had a great time, didn’t care much about the crowd (though it was decent)…

I miss my old bass player. The new girl doesn’t play like he does. She’s sort of wimpy and doesn’t know the tunes or have a decent tone…

A little notice would be nice…

I’ve had a very busy few days. I’m beat. I was finally had a chance to relax for about an hour and a half and have some dinner before I had to go play a gig at a really crappy club. I dragged myself away and got to the gig to find that there was an opening act. If I’d have known this nugget in advance I could have stayed home for another hour and a half rather than sitting in a damn smoke filled bar which only had people that were all tatt’d out (lots of tattoos).

I can think of many things I’d rather do than sit there breathing cigarette smoke looking at ugly chicks covered in tattoos…

The club sucks. My singer apologized for booking the gig and I took the opportunity to let him know that I don’t want to play there again…
