Home Is Where The Good Coffee Is

"I walked into an avalanche" a wise man once said (who, I'm happy to report, is still quite alive). There was the physical, organized avalanche that I put all my effort into. Then the onslaught of destruction began. All in the name of evolution -- I have always embraced productive destruction.

But the big news: Eddie Lee Sausage is a fan!

Tis a good week for haircuts, receipt organization, caffeine reduction and those beloved.

Bad news is sometimes called relief. Those who adapt and change survive. We require a full restructure and I look forward to it. "Keeping it real" is only for those who can afford it, the rest of us try new ways of using what we already have.

I used to be of the belief that drumheads sounded better with age. Pictured above is my old snare head. That's an outline of my hand so I would be sure to always hit the rim shots in the exact same spot whilst recording.

Before

I made a pact with myself a long time ago, to get things done and not mess around.

After

After a few hours, you don't notice how heavy the boxes are.

The Air Is Not Easy

The power went out twice during our show and we stopped playing after I busted a string -- a .72 baritone string! My brother called the cops three times yesterday. Today my niece lost her parakeet in the dishwasher and wouldn't stop crying.

Impoverished Child

We had to cancel our video shoot today due to lack of funds. Times are tough for a metal band just starting out! Thanks to all who were planning on participating.

Patron

Somebody told me something. All I know is that which I want. Even in my drunkeness I have high standards.

It's 6AM And 100 Miles To Go

Dahm ran offstage to throw his insides out. Not sure if it was the omelette or the well Tequila. Once again I was treated to way more than I deserve. At this point, the stairs have handles.

Be There Or Beware

We played two shows in Denver CO on this tour. After the first one, supporting Witchcraft at the Marquis Theater, we crashed at a filthy party house. A week later we get a message from a busking hippy that we smashed her acoustic guitar! Not only is this completely untrue but the we're all insulted at her accusations and ill-informed judgments. We're an easy target (blame the metal band with the morbid name) but that's no excuse. Our second show in Denver is way heavier and new friends are made quickly. After a breakfast plug at Pete's Kitchen we start off on the 1000 mile drive to Louisville. With the Heaven And Hell box set in tow and full Scorpions back catalog, we couldn't have more focused intent!

Seeing What It's About

Only one real set of stairs on this tour and we're very happy about that!
