The good news is that in two weeks we go from opening on Wednesday to Headlining on Friday! That's how much they liked us.

You'd best post me your autograph now then...before you become really famous

Nice one

To be honest I like you more with a little more Metal and a little less Country

But great that you're performing again! I hope to see more from you in the future!

... Country Metal, would that be possible?

We paid the soundman to record us, and we just got it back today. Charles put up the three best on our site. Check out

The Suffering Of The Soul

Church Shoes

Rick's Cafe

Remember that these were recorded live in a bar, so it's not perfect. That said, I think the sound guy did a great job.

I can't get it to play Steve...must be doing something wrong

Lionclaw · 11-21-10, 08:18 AM

I like Church Shoes! Catchy.

@jimbuna, do you have Flash player installed? Only thing that comes to mind at the moment.

SteamWake · 11-21-10, 10:02 AM

Thats cool stuff there Steve. Sounds like a lot of fun.

About the player. It pretty much forces you to listen to things in order unless you sign up.

I dident sign up but did enjoy the tunes while I worked on other stuff.

Thanks for sharing

I'm not sure why that would be. I'll try to figure it out.

[edit] Try clicking on 'My Music' up near the top. That leads to a page with the list on it, with the newest songs at the top.

Sorted....and very cool

I liked the song in the video (Hellbound 69). As an ex-psychobilly i really dig it!

To be honest, I like it the most of the 3,4 sonx to which I've listened to yet.
From the movie SLC Punk I was under the assumption that your town was in a dry county, but the dancing guy definitely doesn't look sober - but like he's having fun!

Well, of course it is! Hank Williams III, besides being one of the greatest contemporary country artists - he calls his music hellbilly though - also plays in a (county) metal band called Brassjack - without 'br'

. Last year when he was here, he first played his metal set, then his country set.

Then there is Grasscore, a weird mix of Bluegrass and Grindcore elements.

I think there is only one band who plays it: Uncle ****er (like the Southpark song): http://www.myspace.com/ufcaen My information is that they pause now because one of them is on state vacation at the moment - hope it was not because of their music

Armistead · 11-23-10, 07:57 AM

All you need now are a few good singers and guitar players and you might have something...

Jes picken, reminds me of the days going to the bars around here when country music was still country.

What state was that in?

Actually Utah used to be a dry state altogether. You could buy beer anywhere (bars, stores, 7-11) but real liquor had to be purchased at a state-run store. Private clubs could sell mixed drinks, which led to some funny stories. Our 'private clubs' were not so private, in that they weren't exclusive. Anyone could join for $25 per year, and the ones at the ski resorts had week-long memberships for $5, which included up to five guests. And even then, if a visitor said he didn't have a membership the bouncer was likely to point out some random member and say "That's Ed. If anyone asks, you're his guests."

Also certain restaurants would have a private liquor license. They couldn't bring the drink to your table, but would sell 'setups', bringing the booze and the other stuff to the table where you would mix it yourself. At the back of the restaurant would be a liquor cabinet, and on the door it would say "State Liquor Store #973".

Some people used to say that it was a monopoly by the private clubs, but in fact they hated it as much as anybody, since it kept a lot of potential customers away. I was told by a bouncer in Park City that he asked a black couple the usual opening "Do you have a membership", and they turned around and walked away without saying a word. He told me "I didn't even get a chance to say 'No, it's not what you think!'"

Altogether silly, and they finally overturned the law just this year, so now you can buy wine and whiskey at any bar. But still not in stores. The state will keep that monopoly for the time being.

[edit] A friend of mine lived in Pittsburgh for a couple of years, and he told me that a lot of the roads there were named for the first business on the road, and that he saw one street actually called "Joe's Tavern Road". We decided that could never work here. Can you imagine them allowing a "State Liquor Store #132 Road"?

Penguin · 11-23-10, 12:12 PM

Thanks for the extensive answer, Steve. See, this is the reason I prefer to ask humans over asking google - google seldom gives you interesting stories and anecdotes!

So there is some progress in the booze laws finally - the movie which I saw played in the 80s btw. Seems like I can put Utah off my never-ever-visit list of states!
