Chronicle Caucus

Turn up The Radio!!  What's up fine ladies and gents that so graciously and kindly follow this blog.  I hope New Years wasn't too rough on ya, and hopefully you're filling the ol rock n roll gas tank for an awesome beginning to 2012. 

Now, not that I believe in that Mayan stuff about the end of the world happening in 2012, I do believe in this:  You have to live every day like it's your last, so this whole, "I'm living 2012 as if it's the last year on earth"...news flash...I've been living like that since May 10, 1981!!

2012 has a lot in store for SSP, and I can not wait to share it with you as we climb this mountain together.  So in the words of Kix: "Hold on...Hold on Tight...I'll Make Everything Alright!!" (that's right I quoted Kix!)

First order of business, all this talk of politics and voting and republicans and democrats, one can't get lost in all the YouTube babble and forget about the yearly Austin Chronicle Music Poll where you the listener gets a chance to voice your opinion.  Whereas there are a lot of awesome bands out there, here @ the SSP Camp we ask that you please take a quick second, click that link ( or HERE ) and vote Snake Skin Prison as Austin's Best Metal Band.  Last year we clocked in at number 6...so let's stuff those ballot boxes!!  Remember if you don't vote than you can't complain (my mom used to tell my dad that).  You can also check it out HERE on Facebook.

I typically despise voting contests, but will save you the ranting and raving, you can check out a previous blog entitled "V is for Victory" if you need some more rock n roll doctrine!

I'm also super excited to announce Snake Skin Prison has been invited to play The Texas Independence Fest.  This takes place the first weekend of March, at The Cotton Gin and Longhorn Ranch in Maxwell Texas.  Now if you're saying, "Where in the Eff is that??" as I did...you can hit their website HERE and they have all the info you need from Bands to Camping to Pictures from last year.  They have Early Bird Tix for $30!!  That's a steal.  Last year David Allen Coe and Down headlined, so I'm super pumped to see who the National Headliners are this year.

Alright, so in closing what did we learn here today?
-Vote SSP in the Austin Chronicle's Music Poll as Best Metal Band
-Get them presale tickets for the Texas Independence Fest...the biggest festival in Texas
-If you don't vote you can't complain
-I have gotten really good at creating hyperlinks within my blog

Over and Out!
