"Alive after 5" 8-6-08

We put on another show for the folks at the Alive after 5 crowd down town yesterday. Folks stayed, sang and just listened as we sawed out tunes that were all familiar but mostly unheard for years. We even knocked off a rendition of "Dreams I'll Never See" by the Molly Hatchet boys. We forgot to play our new signature song "Riding The Storm Out" because we had moved it down the list Brian says that after he sings that, his throat is shot. I believe it too. He sings his heart out on that one.

Anyway, we had a couple of goof ups on some songs but all in all, we plunked through them. I will say this...IT WAS HOTTER THAN BLAZES out there!

Also, we saw Steve Reed filming us. I wonder what he is coming up with? Hmmmmmmmm????!!!!..... We'll see I guess!

Thanks to all of our supporters and faithful friends and family who come out to rock with us!

2008 Eagle Rock Art Guild Show

We played right behind a performance by some of our local belly dancers! It was funny...some things just have to be looked at twice!!! Anyway, we opened the show with a song by the Who, "SQUEEZEBOX". ha ha ha

All in all, it was a very fun, low key event where we did some of our best acoustic stuff. Lots of crowds and tons of fun. We're looking forward to next year for this gig.

Also, the last picture includes one of our future band members, Eric David (ED) Perez. Ralph's 2 year old grandson with his dad, Tony!!!

1968 Rigby High Class Reunion 7-12-08

A wonderful gig up in Rigby at the Old Rigby High School ( Now the Jr High). We dug up the the hits from 1968 and reviewed them and started wailing away at several old tunes. It was fun. These were the songs that many of us as little guys were listening to. This was Larraines 40th High School, Reunion. It was a pleasure to play for them. They seemed to enjoy it.

4th of July @ Scotty's

Well once Again, we played at Scotty's Drive-in (The Most Delicios Burgers and Shakes available in East Idaho) on the 4th. And once again, many of our loyal fans and family were there to hear us bang away at tunes to please the crowd. It was not as hot as previous years and this was fortunate for us. Don't get us wrong, it was still hot. Our beloved Tony ( Bass player) was north attending a family reunion and was in-route while we played. He was sure missed but our good pal and fellow musician Evan Smith ( Master Fiddle Maker) covered for him. Ken made another beautiful guitar (pictured between me and Evan). It was an Explorer with P-90's and a beautiful paint job ala Americana!! It plays beautifully too! I never played it but at least I displayed it there. Also, check out the cool double neck that Ken made. It is an amazingly wonderfuly jangly guitar with the Byrd's sound screaming from it's lutious pickups. Too much fun..... Also, can't forget Mike's "to drool for" collection of high end Strats and Pauls and Ricky's. Also, Brian and his new toy! ha ha ha

Eric Liester

I'm Eric. I run the soundboard and the mix the sound for the band. Interestingly enough, the band doesn't hear what the audience hears. I'm responsible for getting the mix right. Controlling the Darned Guitar Players is the hardest part of the job!
