This experience started with wrestling belts & scratch tracks, and ended with puke.   It was fucking awesome.

Let me explain.
The week before the show, we were guests on 102.9 The Buzz for winning the March Madness Radio Battle.  They played our song Dead Or Dying (and it got the most requests of the week.. and then again for the entire month).....(and then the next month)...  Our prize was $10,000 and a voucher to any Vietnamese whorehouse of our choice. 

We ended up only cashing in a 99 cent belt that is only ours until we lose....  this sucks ONLY because we'd all bought multiple one-way tickets to Vietnam.

The night before the show, we're over at my place (Stacy, for those of you who don't know by now who's typing this..).   We're recording basic scratch tracks for Dan to go drum to when he starts recording the day after the show.    We end up having mucho fun spending time creating this zany new live intro to play on the P.A. before the show.   All 4 of us were involved.  It was awesome. 

So as Murphy's Law would have it, after all that the CD wouldn't work at the club... so we couldn't play it for you.   Boo-hoo :(
That's what the next show is for.

So on with this SHOW.  \m/

Thaxton Ward put on a great show. They had some good ol' fashion rock girl/girl action in the front. You just can't lose with a show like this one, folks.

After their set, it's time to go on!  Dan and Adam's first show with us.  There's a newness about Spout that isn't just summed up or limited to the new additions, new gear, near clothes, new underwear, new songs...    but simply the way we all work together...   The involvement from every level...  down to the way we acted before and after the show especially towards each other.  It's a true friendship and band enthusiasm that's undeniable.

We know this night must have been a brain warp for those who regularly come to Spout shows.  We could have just thrown in one or two new ones but we really wanted to test a bunch of new stuff out before we went in and recorded it.  

The show was fun as could be..... the audience participation in "Poser" was massive sounding.....and the puke that came out of Chad's mouth when he found out he'd been towed by Jesus was just brilliant.

Yes, ol' Chizzle parked in the Church parking lot and got towed while he was playing the show.

So I treated him to Wendy's and reminisced back to the time when it was sooooo much fun being on stage and rocking out to such awesome people....
