Tahoe, LA,...

Night before last was Tahoe City, and what a night it was. Charlie's brother and soon to be sister-in-law set us up. They found the club, promoted the show, gave us a place to stay, fed us -everything.
The set list wasn't quite adequate -they actually ran out of tunes to play -that's how much the crowd loved the show. They rocked and rocked, then took a break (after protests from the crowd), then they rocked and rocked some more -and still left the crowd wanting more!
The next day was a blizzard on the way out.
Then on to LA -a very fun night, but being first on a bill of four bands meant it wasn't nearly the show that Tahoe was.
The Husbands were very cool. Also a new band The Makes Nice from Frisco was there, and a rockin' band called The Guilty Hearts.

Joe's good friend Paul Montone offered us his hospitality for the night. It looks like he might be able to fit inside the pizza box.

So I haven't made a post forever. I have to keep the blogging low on my priority list, and I've been hating the computer lately, being as everything I do these days requires a computer. But, I just left a couple of days ago to go on tour with Joe's band Dark Skies. Hopefully I'll get the experience I need helping these guys out on their tour to know what I'm doing when planning my own. The first show was in Seattle with Dead Moon. Here's a picture that Joe drew of the show -he's got a great Woody Guthrie style of sketching...


















We're staying with whoever will let us, so that night we stayed with a guy the band knew they call Sean Shit.



















Last night was Oakland at a place called the Stork Club with a Japanese noise band called DMBQ headlining. It's hard to imagine that a band could have that much insane energy! Their drummer was killed and several members of their entourage injured in an auto accident not too long ago.
Their new drummer was wearing bikini bottoms and a frilly pirate shirt -a genius!
Joe's buddies from school played the show as well -Drunk Horse is their name. They rocked too.
