Booze for Thought: Never Get Out of this World Alive!!!

Things are heating up as we get closer to that fateful day!! October 27, the Release of SSP's newest body of work the EP: Smokin Whiskey!! Gonna be the kitties titties if you're picking up what I'm laying down! This has been a long and winding road for SSP in the year of 2012...that my friends I can assure you!!

(Harp music as the picture fades and we do a classic time travel back to the days gone by...)

I met Matt Noveskey in Dec of 2011, we had a sit down, talked about music and then about the future of SSP. I actually DID know of Matt Noveskey, however if you do not, he's the bass player for a little band called "Blue October". He's done a ton of other things and has a ton of irons in the musical fire so to speak. Google him...he's around LOL. Matt hooked up with us at the Music Lab, we jammed some tunes, and talked about the new material, made some plans and BAM we're of to the studio. We recorded at Test Tube Audio in South Austin, with Kevin Butler and in classic SSP fashion like a thief in the night we came and were gone, with nothing left but some empty liquor bottles and smoldering cigarettes.

Jump ahead a couple weeks and we're playing the first annual "Very Metal Christmas" and among the 300+ people there, was one that I've had the pleasure of getting to know...Mr. John Moyer. John, like Matt N., has been around the block...and around again...plenty of times. He's played bass in SOAK, Union Underground, Disturbed, and now Adrenaline Mob...yeah I said Disturbed...one of the biggest metal bands of all time!! No need to say much more about that...Google him...he's there :).

The heavy Southern metal gods aligned, John and Matt N. put their wits together and spoke with the SSP camp...HAWT Dog if we weren't back in the studio working with Matt Noveskey and John Moyer two of the most respected bass players in the industry...it's times like these I'm glad I'm not Keith!

We worked out one final song, added it to the EP and off it went to Sterling Winfield for mixing and Maor Applebaum for mastering. I could spit our their discographies, but I got rehearsal tonight, so plug their names into your favorite search engine and you'll find them just fine.

We've been playing these tunes out live, we always like to do that cause at the end of the day, the PEEPS are the shot callers, they decide what they want, then we give it to em like a nice big heapin helpin of southern country fried steak slathered in moonshine gravy.

We're super excited to be releasing this EP...titled..."Smokin Whiskey" at the end of this month at Red Eyed Fly...our home field!!! We have a killer line up in the works featuring SOAK (that's right...you might have seen this name earlier...) and The Heroine (from San Antonio) and plenty of good stuff for that ass...lights, cameras....and plenty of ACTION!!

If you haven't gotten your tickets yet, don't hesitate...pull that trigger...you can get them online HERE and have them waiting for you at the door....IF you've ever been to an SSP show, you know it's just one big party, with SSP leading the charge on stage...IF you've NEVER been to an SSP show, well this is it...a years worth of hard work and dedication will come spewing out on stage that fateful Saturday Night in October. The night they'll remember as the night Austin actually drowned...drowned in hoops, hollers, high life, and HARD Hitting mayhem...from an insanely energized crowd supporting Austin's hardest working band...doing what we do best...
