New Year / New Gear



So me and the hacienda dudes are putting together new songs. We've been touring a bunch, so I've been playing the same gear for a long ass time. Now that I'm home I get to play on some stuff that doesnt make it on the road. In the studio down here there is this amp laying around that I was surprised to find out sounds nasty in the best way possible. Its an old Vox Super Berkley. Its wild sounding. Its a solid state amp about 50 watts and gets this broken up treble sound that is very John Fogerty like. I'm lovin it. I've been playing Voxes for a little over a year and they sound awesome. I've been using this heratige handwired ac30 live, and only this Berkley on every demo. I've never used solid state amps before, and I had a bad impression of them. I guess you should'nt knock em until you've actually tried it. Does anyone have any other Vox recomendations.




So I just did a slide part thats in the vein of Robbie Krieger's "Moonlight Drive". Listen to this

  3. Thanks! I have been talking with Billy and originally some Nashville band was opening for that show, BUT I guess they lied about Jack Lawrence wanting them to play. So now he's sent my band info to The Greenhornes mgmt to see if we can open!!!! I can't explain to you how great it would be to share the stage with you guys.

  4. Will we get a taste of the new album in your upcoming shows?? Man, I just found out that the opening spot for that on 3/23 show is between us and another band (they shall remain nameless), they're also the band we're probably up against in Hard Rock's battle of the bands at the end of this month. Whether or not we get the opening spot, all of my band guys will be at the show. Wouldn't miss it for the world.
