Caught Abbey Rode at FBI Rock Club #2 Last Night

// August 13th, 2006 // Comments // Uncategorized

If you don’t have a good time at an Abbey Rode show, something is wrong with you. Abbey Rode is becoming as much known for their audience participation as they are for their spot-on performance of Beatles tunes.
If you haven’t checked them out yet, you’re missing out on a great time. Grab a gaggle of friends the next time they play and come on out for a good time. Bring your bubbles!

Really looking forward to Hot Nights, Cool Tunes

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

Abbey Rode and the Get Downs!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.

John Adams of Jailbreak, a Thin Lizzy tribute band in Houston, Tx.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

Powerload, an AC/DC tribute band based in Houston, TXJay, 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 thJust back from Iraqe 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!
