STRAY BULLETS
& THE HAVE NOTS
All Ages@ Safari Nite Club
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First off we were on this gig and then off the gig. John had just joined the band and Greg was in Californa or something. So we tried out this new Drummer. I guess our first clue should have been that he took off his high hat shoe. We lucked out though cause not only was this the worst set we've ever did but it was also the smallest crowd we ever played to. The orginal plan was to have Joey (SlipKnot/Have Nots/Rejects/all a hole shit load of other bands) play drums but after a fight put up by this new drummer we said OK. As a singer you learn to keep going no matter what and hope for the best. It's kinda like driving on ice. All you can do is keep going and try to keep some control while everything else falls apart around you. After the set the drummer packed up his stuff and left never to be heard from again. No real big loss.
Next up was Stray Bullets. Here's a little pointer to all you bands out there that are planning on touring: If you want to play the club again, don't hit on the promoters girlfriend. Also it helps if you aren't boring and generic. That was the first two strikes the third one was bitching about no one showing up to see your band that no one has ever heard of and trying to blame the promoter.
We just sat outside and drank and listened to the holy rollers from the church next door.
