Welcome Welcome my faithful blog reader!! It's been a while, since I put the pen to the paper in the form of this blog, so I figured I'd better touch base before you forgot about me!!
Things have been busy for The Rock n Roll Pain Train...let's see, we played Tulsa (first time outside of the great state of Texas), and we have also scheduled our Christmas Event, "A Very Metal Christmas"....I'm super stoked for this event, it's more than just a "show"...it's gonna be an event...of epic proportions.

Now this next part is very important...so I need you to take a minute and focus...you will see this material again!!
Tickets will be $15 the day of the show, and $12 if you order them online presale....HOWEVER...being that Snake Skin Prison is on YOUR side, we have physical pre-prints:
For $10!! Save some money peeps! You can get them from myself, Keith or Marc...just shoot whoever a message and let's sell some tickets!!
Now...check this out!! Let's say you're outgoing, good looking, highly popular, and just flat out a good sales person...Let's say you're a go getter that likes to show off your people skills and initiative. If this describes you, I got just the thing. If sell some tickets for SSP's "A Very Metal Christmas" then you could get the following:
1. Sell 5 Tickets and Keef will buy you a Jager Bomb
2. Sell 10 Tickets and Keef will buy your ticket and a jager bomb
3. Sell 15 or more tickets...and SSP will give you Keef...fo life
Seriously :) ... just collect the $10 each from your rocking friends, hit up someone in the band, and we'll make arrangements to make the swap. It's like a drug deal, just not illegal.
There is a lot of info still to come, the lineup is being finalized as we speak, and if you know anything about Snake Skin Prison let me just say the "wheels" of creativity are turning and this will definitely be an event you don't want to miss.
Check it out!! HERE
Invite your friends spread the word and help make "A Very Metal Christmas" the shindiggity!!
Alright, now with all that being said, we had a great weekend in San Marcos, had a couple hurdles thrown into the mix, but when you mix good friends and bottles of booze, there's really nothing you can't overcome. For those of you that missed the debut of Knuckle Keefers Sammich, it was actually really good and totally cool. For reasons that are none of my business, KS was in need of a bass player and in my Love Juiced mind suggested they contact Keef!! So...Keefers filled in and did awesome.
We also got to pull out our newest creation, "The Place the Sun Doesn't Shine"...I'm really digging this jam, and I think the crowd was as well. We don't have any video footage of it yet, but I'll post the lyrics for ya's...
<Well the sun came down but it never come up…oh them mountains stood way too high
Life is hard living above ground….but it’s harder workin down in the mine
Oh…you break your back infect your lungs…pray the mountain’s mercy received
Blacken your body for the hourly wage…it’s the only life you ever would live
That bright light fades the deeper you go down...the air is hard to breathe
Most go in and most come out...but nothing is a guarantee
Set em up top and drill em down low…the money gets blacker with time
Said their ain’t no life if their ain’t no coal…everyday your life’s on the line….
The Place the sun doesn't shine
You see a man’s gotta do what a mans gotta do…to keep his family covered and fed
And if you ain’t gonna leave you get your ass underground…slap the helmet down on your head
It sure ain't easy, and it sure is tough, Lord they doing it every day
12 hours in and 12 hours out, pray the mountain don't take you away
Set em up top and drill em down low…the money gets blacker with time
Said their ain’t no life if their ain’t no coal…everyday your life’s on the line….
The Place the sun doesn't shine
Also, I'm excited about SSP hitting up the studio and recording some new tunes in the next couple months...a lot is about to change, I can feel it.
Come see us in San Antonio this Saturday!!
Till Next Time!
Adios!!
