SSPxSW

Well, the week is here...the week every unsigned band/musician that is worth their salt will travel to Austin TX...in hopes of getting discovered. I was curious to find out how many bands actually got "discovered" during SXSW...so I did a little research, and here's what I found out:

Now when I say research, I go to Google and type in: "Signed Bands from SXSW" and out of the returns I found this article: HERE .... and you can see it entitled "25 bands that broke at the Austin Festival..."

So you can see there, some of the people that were fortunate enough to get "discovered" ....

So that got me thinking, what if I typed in, "Bands that DID NOT get discovered at SXSW" and my machine had to reboot.

LOL

So with that being said, the week is upon us, Snake Skin Prison has 3 shows this week:

Thurs 3/17-Armadillo Hall, Taylor TX, 9p
Fri 3/18-Chupacabre, 6th street, 1130p
Sat 3/19-Roial, Texas Rockfest, 120 w 5th St, 9p

So that should keep us busy for this weekend :). I urge you to come out to the shows, be sure and tell everyone you see...

We played House of Blues on Friday, and that show went off like a roman candle in a WV Trailer Park on the 4th of July. From start to end it was 100mph!!

You know SSP...pure Rockstars:



Onward to The Dirty Dog on Saturday Night where SSP started the night with CrackerPaloosa! Indeed a blast it was, where we debuted a new jam:




It's exciting to see the same faces out to the shows...keep spreading the word...keep spreading the disease...the difference between winners and losers is the fact that winners do and losers don't. Never give up and never give in. I remember playing football in High School, we were the visiting team, and in their visitor's locker room (which was their JV locker room) on the wall a quote was painted:

"The nose of the bulldog has been slanted backwards so that he can breathe without letting go." -- Winston Churchill

That's my take on life, as hard as you can as long as you, never give up, never let go, you will eventually succeed, just as water wears down a rock.

After this week comes and goes, millions of gallons of booze later...when everyone goes back home to resume their normal life...you can always count on SSP...we'll still be here...why?...cause we ain't got nowhere else to go...

After all...


we're just Rockstars :)
