Speaking of bands (what a segue!), I keep listening to Creedence Clearwater Revival and I keep thinking that they're actually really great and don't get nearly enough credit for being a band that played straightforward rock n roll and even pulled off an authentic Americana sound without being from the Midwest or the South. Quick bit of trivia: Where were they from? Don't check the Internet, you cheater.
Looks like we won't have a Kobe-LeBron NBA Finals after all. Does anyone want a Magic-Nuggets Finals? Shit, I'm combining blogs here.
The other thing I'm listening to is the King of rock n roll. Skinny, young Elvis and the rest of the Sun Records lineup. Jesus, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis all on the same label at the same time. Yes, Jesus was on the Sun roster. Had a great baritone voice and played a mean skiffle shuffle.
On the band front, yes, we actually still do stuff, sometimes stuff that's worth posting about. Without giving away too much, it looks like we might bring back a couple of old songs for the show on June 6th at Cameo. Look, I can't stress how good this show should be. This is a good garage rock lineup and even if you don't like any other band, we play at 8, so that still leaves the rest of the night to do other things. Yes, I'm giving the hard sell to like the 5 people that read this thing and would probably go to the show anyway.
