ROCK N ROLL VOODOO SHOW!
Stanley T. Madhatter!
Finally the Dead City Prophets show at Paychecks on April 10 arrives. We had a tough week with every kind of obstacle you can imagine. Broken hearts and lost friendships are painful but as Ethel Merman said (among others) "The Show Must go on"! Go on it did. As the Zen cats used to say "the marksman fundamentally aims at himself so we'll leave it at that.
Motor City Rahs Rahs, Stanley Ron having fun!
We came out to finally see the Dead City Prophets play with Mark singing lead. Also to celebrate Ron Cooke's birthday! He was having a great time despite his foot injury.
I had filmed them as a trio with Rob King on drums last fall (here is that video) but not in their new line up with Steve Williams on drums. He is really great! Couldn't get a decent shot of Steve behind all the band and equipment. Sorry Steve!
Mark sings so well and it so handsome to go with it! It was out first actual meeting after chatting via email and telephone for almost a year.
JB Sweet and Ron Cooke (Steve behind JB)
JB is really hot young lead guitarist and he has been tutored by some of the best guitarists in Michigan like Mike Katon who I have know since High School. JB and Ron really play tight together.
The Ruiners were fabulous too! Nina was also the birthday girl and she made the entire night so much fun for all of us! She sings really well too!!!
Happy Birthday Nina!
Unfortunately we were late and missed KEN'S Really Loud Band all together. I was so bummed about that. (SORRY FOR THE MISTYPE ON THE NAME KEN)
Dead City Prophets are my friends and of course I am going to go on and on about how great they are.. The Ruiners were entertaining and so much fun... Sorry we missed KEN'S really Loud Band...
From Mark Childress:
KEN'S Loud Band smoked too. They write very innovative tunes. Well arranged and polished with a very cool gritty patina and bit of a nutty aftertaste, well integrated tannins, exceptional potential. \\:^)

Yes Nina Friday made the show a whole lot hotter! She is not an official Rah Rah from Detroit (no Pom Pom) but she sure didn't need one! Really nice girl too. Thanks Bill!

We sure appreciate you Kim! Our new record should be out by August if the record label cooperates. I can give you our last record next time I see you. In the meantime, here is a video filmed right here in Lodi ;) xox
