Rock at the Library

Anyone who came to the library show this Wed. already knows, but we were bummed that SAH had to cancel the first half of their tour. They had some vehicle problems at the very top of MI where they live. So we decided to play anyway, a two band show, why not? With all the music coming to Peterboro this weekend during The Thing, the short show was a nice warm up!
Calumet-Hecla deserves credit for overcoming the extraordinary obstacle of their missing guitar player (they managed to get in touch w/ him later and he was alright) by going on w/o him, just drums and bass. The show must go on and I must say, I discovered some wicked rhythms between them that I hadn't picked up on before. It was a vicious set. Randy took the floor and joined them on guitar for their last song. He had not practiced the song, nor was he even familiar with it, but the improvisation added to the musical fire and was a lot of fun to watch.
It's been a busy week for everyone, but thnx to all who made it out. The library is such a fun place for shows, too bad the room sounds like poop! We were thinking of ways to improve the acoustics with some architectural modifications. I want to build a
drop ceiling out of triple expanding foam. Other ideas anyone?

Improvement.

The song parts from Age Of Reason are posted on my site now. They are streaming at a higher quality (256kbps) than the player linked in the last post (128kbps). Unfortunately my site doesn't have Doritos ads or any music from 50cent, but it smells good. Like electrons.

Also, we are playing a show on Fri., Feb. 22 at the Zoloft on 91 Temple St., New Ipswich, NH. 6:30PM. Fun times!

The sound quality here is not high, but not bad. Peace.

New music, snowmobiles.

Yo, we got some new music on our sheet! So does Wu-Tang, but we're only talking one song here. However, it is, like our others, in the 15 minute range. It is a bit more rocking, and a bit more popping, and a lot of fun to play. A lot of fun to play!
It's winter here in NH and though it seems we will have a white Xmas, there is another color that insists on making its presence known. Yes it is that popular time of year in the granite state for the sport vehicles that you smell at the gas station, hear whizzing by, almost crash into, nearly get run over by, and sometimes have to share the road with. They look like robotic rodents on skis, and belong to the NH winter sport category of snowmobiling. The real color of winter? Arctic Cat Green.
Feast your eyes on this mean sled and you'll understand.


Sledding is no joke folks. These hearty sport-goers are prepared for cold weather, weekly repairs, a sore thumb from operating the 'push-button' throttle, helmet-head, and extensive meetings at nearby fueling stations. If you don't believe me, hit this link up for a dramatic tale of arctic cat origin.
I don't know, the 'A.C. green' in the picture above is a bit similar to the 'Hidden Meadow Green' walls in Jentri's new living room. Just be careful that you're not a beacon for the next sled meeting, Jentri!

Happy Holidays everyone! Safe travels.
