THE SEATBELTS ROCKED THE HOUSE LAST NIGHT!


Greg Upshur unbelievable lead singer of the Seatbelts!

Well folks what night it was! It was crowded and all three bands were fantastic. I went at the invitation of Skid Marx and Greg Upshur. Didn't now what to expect. I have heard great things about Cinecyde and Choking Susan so I was looking forward to seeing them... they did not disappoint.

I have to say that I had a horrible time filming as my camera kept going off focus and the stage lighting was all on the left side of the stage. Luckily I got some really great still shots for the night. Thankfully Greg's son Alex just sent me a great video! If he sends more I'll post them!

THANK YOU ALEX BEAUTIFUL JOB

Bad ass Bass Man Skid Marx my dear friend

Skid was having SUCH a great time and night! I have seen him play many times and have never seen him play better or look so full of joy. I was so happy for him as The Seat Belts were "the Kings!" Quote from the MADHATTER himself.


Rick Mills rockedthat guitar! So great and made their poster too!

Rick is very charming and a talented artist but man he blew up that stage! He looks so conservative now and then to see him rock out like that was shocking! I stopped to tell him how great he was!


Rick's fab poster!


Gaetano Urso (never met him sorry) and Greg Upshur


Stanley T. Madhatter and The Seatbelts awesome drummer Tony B

See a really cool slide show of the Seatbelts Show HERE




Colleen Caffeine Lead singer of Choking Susan

Colleen is just a charming lady. Posed for many photos and performed quite a show! My daughter Lesley would have loved Colleen! I know the wilder the performer is on stage the more sweet and gentle off stage they are. Interesting....


Kimmer meets the dashing Greg Upshur! aka The Mustang Chef

Here is my "money shot" of the night taken by Skid Marx! A photo of me with the handsome leader singer Greg Upshur. One of the perks of being RK is I get to have my picture taken with tons of hunky musicians! YAY


Totally fun band CHOKING SUSAN!

First photo I shot of Choking Susan and they gave me a fun shot!




Cinecyde! Fantastic performance! Gary, Jim, Chris and Diane

I hardly spoke with this band though did chat with the fabulous drummer Diane. I swear her kit looked pink but no... it was blonde. A pink kit would be so cool for the many girl drummers no?




Diane the fantastic drummer for Cinecyde! Loved her!


Beautiful Carrie and Skid Marx! Love them! xxoo

Thank you Carrie for all the kind words they really meant so much to me xxoo

My favorite song of the set!




The Madhatter Derek Murtaghx Carrie Marx Meridith Lorde

Great to see Meridith she looked very happy though she has had a rough summer (me too). She looked like her old self only a whole LOT thinner. Wow I heard she lost 40 lbs. She looked terrific before and now even better as she is doing a Boot Camp thing. (not me yikes)


Therese Upshur and the Madhatter!



I asked Greg where his wife and he told me to look for the girl in the Seatbelts tee shirt. I finally found her at the very end of the night. Very beautiful and with 5 kids too!


Gary Adams fantastic Circus Boy guitarist and friend Jerry

Hey Kim,

Enjoyed talkin' to ya on the phone yesterday. I was just on your site looking for the preview of the movie your band is in...no luck, if you have a link just throw it in the next e-mail. I think i found your daughters work though.. It's pretty cool I like the vibrant colors.
I have attached a logo of mine too, thanks so much for loading it to your site. I heard the Seatbelts have decided to play in December, can't wait! Hey whenever you'd like to set up a time to do senior pictures just let me know, there's some cool places out in Ann Arbor

Thanks again
