And for all of its almost(?) mind-numbing simplicity, it's still one of the greatest songs ever written. |

I remember The Police openned for some local acts there. They stank then,too. I went for the Ramones. Great 2 minute songs. Say yer peace, then move on. At Gilley's Pub (Bleeker St & 5th Ave.) John Lennon, playing with David Peel & the Lower East Side, (bought us a coupla quarts of Ballentine Ale). And I'm surprised that CBGB's didn't burn down too... But Vomit and Beer don't burn well. Classy place, two blocks from the Bowery Mission. YIPPIE Headquarters, two blocks the other way. Good Location. Damn, I'm old...
So "alpep", did you try Ultimate Guitar? Time's a-wastin'
Hey you typed your song list while I was typing this. It looks real good. Rock the House. |

Location: NJ | we did the gig today.
it was a blast.
totally unorganized. played on the top of a flatbed truck that still had a ton of mortar residue on it. No one thought to sweep it off.
The generator was almost louder than the PA LOL.
what fun.
we played
20th century boy t rex
wild thing the troggs
purple haze hendrix
girl singer sang along to
Let's give em something to talk about
killer voice I told my nephew she needs to be in the band
came back did 2 more
all right now free
sunshine of your love cream
here are some pics
me with my hamer monaco superpro which is currently my main guitar.
here is how we looked on the truck
Tim my nephew on bass and vocals and Vinny on drums. Vinny is a great drummer he will be killer in a few years.
solo shot of timmy and his Hamer import velocity bass. A killer value for this korean made bass.
some kid was wearing a gorilla costume with the first band so we decided to call our band "we don't need no stinkin gorillas"
no current future gigs scheduled.
oh I forgot to mention. the crowd loved us. |

I was laughing the whole time we did the gig. My only concern was that we played songs that were easy and we could all pull off at a moments notice.
it worked out well. |
