Really looking forward to Hot Nights, Cool Tunes

// July 25th, 2006 // View Comments // Flotsam & Jetsam

Hot Nights, Cool Tunes is a free open-air concert series featuring local bands and is sponsered by the City of Brenham. The bands will play in historic downtown Brenham in the Courthouse Square. From what I understand, concert-goers can bring lawn chairs and blankets, and there will be food and drink on sale. (You know that Brenham is home to Blue Bell Ice Cream, right? The very best ice cream in the world! Surely there will be plenty of flavors to choose from. I can’t wait! lol) It promises to be a great night and a big crowd if the weather holds.

Better late than never?

Well here’s one from the whoopsie! file. I was going through photo directories so that I could do some archving, and came across shots of Jailbreak from a gig in April that had never even been processed.

So here they are. Now I’m off to look for more lost goodies.

Powerload at The Concert Pub

// July 17th, 2006 // View Comments // Uncategorized

Jay, Cindy and I went to The Concert Pub on Saturday night and saw Powerload, an AC/DC tribute band. They were very good, and I took a few shots.

We only stayed for half of their set because my allergies were killing me, but we were there long enough to see Gordon, and his son who had just returned from Iraq. Powerload honored his service to our country by bringing him up to the stage to do shots. The crowd gave the soldier a rousing ovation, and I’m sure there were many people thoughout the night thanking him for his service. I’m sure Gordon, himself a career soldier, must have been proud. I know I was!

You can view the photos here.

Best party of the year!

Frankie, owner of Forgetta’Bout It, threw a smashing party last night that was attended by the elite of the Houston rock scene. Seen in the crowd were John Adams of Jailbreak, Rob Howl of Midnight Circus, the incomparable shredder Ajax, Randy Dickey of Damascus, Bobby Blotzer of Ratt, Lee and Val Seals of WolfeBlitzer, Joe Caine -formerly of Escape and Mystic Cross, Jeff Clifton and Chuck McFadden of Azreal’s Bane, Donny Bragg, and many more. Other partygoers included Cindy Close, Mike and Alpha Settle, Pam Thompson, PV, Dara Springer, Jackee Clifton, Libby Conway, Cindy Dickey, Andrea, and Kymberly.

Abbey Rode started the festivities off with a true-blue set of Beatles music. In what’s becoming an Abbey Rode tradition, the birthday boy and 40 of his closest friends joined them onstage for “Birthday.”

Already Gone took the stage next and had the crowd cheering and singing along. One word – INCREDIBLE! If you haven’t seen them, and you like the Eagles, this is your group! Also making an appearance during their set was Bobby Blotzer, who guested on drums during “Long Run.”

Ratt tribute band Back For More capped the evening off with headbangin’ classics like “You’re In Love”, and of course, “Round and Round.”

Photos will be up soon.
