For those about to Rock!!

Stephen King once said, that our senses are the closest we'll ever get to time travel. He then went on to explain, about how you can eat something, smell something, or hear something...and for a quick moment in time...your mind shoots you back to a moment in time that is attached to that sensation. Only, unfortunately, long enough to have but a moment of nostalgia and then WHAM!! (not George Michael)...you're back to Reality.

I listen to Pandora a lot (in which by the way SSP is now on Pandora...look that shit up!!), especially when I write these blogs, cause depending on my mood I will select a station that fits...and the song that came on as I was navigating to this site was AC/DC "For Those About to Rock". Angus started jolting my brain waves. Now if you're familiar with that song, you'll know the gritty six string intro that I'm referring to. If you're not familiar with it:


Familiarize yo self.

So...as that comes through my brain I'm instantly transported back to Summer of 1993, sitting in my house in WV, in the "utility room" playing DOOM (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doom_%28video_game%29). Ah...the good ol days!

Amazing how quickly and accurately our senses and body can do that kind've stuff. I'm wondering which one of you will one day be somewhere and hear the opening riff to "Moonshine Shake" and suddenly be transported back to 2009 at the Red Eyed Fly chugging Lonestar and throwing a fist in the air!! Now that would be some Time Travel!!

Alright, well enough of that...this past weekend was a blast...we did get our feet wet during the SXSW insanity by playing Headhunters @ 3pm on Saturday. I woke up @ 10 am with Billy Milano wheeling and dealing me on the phone, headed to the gym, got my sweat on (aka said goodbye to the High Life) and headed downtown around 1pm. It was cold as balls that day, every other day was awesome...but for some reason Saturday was in the 40's (and compared to 70's that's cold).

By 3pm I think it is safe to say that the bar was full and the rock was melting faces and setting markers for future time travelers. We did get it recorded and as soon as that is available I'll be sharing it. Until then, here's some pics:



Amanda our Lovely Assistant



Marc our lovely drummer



Keef our lovely bassist



And then there's me the best Air Guitar player in Austin!!

We did have a blast, but I think as always, that's evident by the end of the night!!

So...thank you all that came out!!



Looking ahead...a lot...and I mean A LOT of things are popping for SSP ... keep your eyes open and your ears peeled back...cause this train is catching some serious speed.


Keep it Gangsta!
