Life is a Highway

Alright...seriously...I have never had that much jager in my entire life.

We traveled to Houston this past weekend as VIP guests with Jager @ the Houston Rodeo. We get there, and there's a line out the a$$...I grab the first person that looks like they know what they're doing, only to find out he's drunker than Cooter Brown!

Finally I get someone that knows what they are doing, they take us down the side, and into the Tent and what do I see...but all the beer, brisket, and Jager a man can imagine. I had jager with root beer, Jager with Orange Pop, Jager with Sausage, Jager with cigarettes, Jager with Jager...and Jager with oxygen.

Needless to say it was a great trip, met some interesting people, and spread the SSP Charm.

There's a lot going in the SSP camp, somethings I can tell and some I have to wait until further developed...but I assure you this. You may not hear from me...you might think...that SSP band is just drinking jager at the rodeo...well yes we are :) but things are brewing.

I think the name Snake Skin Prison is very fitting for this band. Just as a snake sits...and patiently awaits it's unsuspecting prey...so does SSP. When the time is right...BAM!...the snake strikes and it's lights out! Unless of course the snake is drunk, then he will probably miss and chip a tooth or something, but you get my point!

I've scheduled us a lot of good shows, SSPxSW, Houston House of Blues, Tulsa OK, ... and many more to come :) .... Check out the Dates...:









I've also been writing new material, ready to unleash some new and improved tunage on your skulls!

This Friday SSP travels to D-Town...home of the High 5...home of the Dallas Cowgirls...Home of a cool place to eat called The Angry Dog...we play Reno's Chop Shop...if you're from Dallas, come check it out, if you're not...tell anyone you know from Dallas to come check out SSP.



Alright, well I'm busting outta this motel...keep your ears to the ground...it's coming...

If I were King

Well, I noticed I haven't written a blog in bit, and it's definitely not from lack of things to write about. In the world of SSP there's always something to say!!

We had a killer show Saturday Night @ Dirty Dog, thanks to everyone that came out!! This weekend will prove to be one helluva weekend with back to back shows:



Then on Saturday Night SSP opens for Drowning Pool:





SSP loves both San Angelo and San Antonio...hell, we love everywhere we play. ALSO...I'm super pumped to announce our NON-SXSW show:




When I moved here, I had no idea about SXSW, and it took a while to wrap my head around it. I thought, "Man, this is a great idea!! A huge festival where ALL unsigned bands and gather and play in hopes of gaining the type of exposure one could only get from something of this magnitude..."

Then I actually learned about it LOL.

As with everything else in the world...SXSW has been polluted by $$...so I don't concern myself with SXSW, I'm concerned with SSPxSW :). We'll get all the spoils of SXSW with out the hindering of being an actual SXSW Showcase. I set the line-up, it's a free show and the goodies just keep coming in...it's only going to get better. So I do wanna thank SXSW for building the biggest festival in the world...right in my backyard :). And I won't even have to promote...

SSP played in San Antonio once, and the headlining band bailed at the last minute...the show was packed out, and SSP was moved into the headlining slot. I turned to Keith and said, "We're the last band you want to hand deliver your fans on a silver platter to..." Every show since then in San Antonio just keeps getting better. I view SXSW the same way...in the words of Bruce himself, "Bring your Daughter to the Slaughter..." SSP isn't racist...we'll take them all!!

So! That's the haps for now...currently I'm writing new material to throw into the SSP blender and see what comes out...I've been taking guitar lessons for over 5 months now...so let's see how the songs sound \m/

As always thank you all very much for your support and belief in Snake Skin Prison...
