F.L.O.W.

I had never heard of this band prior to last night - these guys were pretty good...and, they have a guy that can blow some serious sax...as you'll hear/see in the first part of the second video...

Here is some of the video I took...

F.L.O.W - Mary Jane's Last Dance

Do You Hear a RATL?

I made a last-minute decision to check out who was playing at Bogey's last night, and the band RATL was there.

I had seen them one time before, also at Bogey's, but it'd been quite a while. I spoke briefly with Doug (vocals) and Rich (new bass player apparently), both of whom I'd never met. Nice guys.

Bogey's can be a hit-or-miss type of place on Friday nights, crowd-wise, but these guys did a nice job, and you could tell people were diggin' it. They sounded really good...

Here's some video I took:

RATL - Hair Of The Dog

RATL - Sweet Emotion

RATL - 3am

And The Beat Goes On...

Well, it appears that Dave Sams (formerly the drummer for the band GRIP) is again looking for a new band to jam with...

As I had blogged previously on July 26th, Dave had moved on to play drums with the band 'Serious Business'.

I guess that didn't work out quite as well as he'd planned. For whatever reason, Dave advises that they didn't click like he'd hoped, so he's 'back on the market', looking for a band that is ready to play out.

Stay tuned...Dave's a great drummer with a lot of motivation and desire to entertain the masses - he'll land with another band soon enough, I'm sure!

Slapshots...Live@575...Dead Or Alive?

So, what's going on with Slapshots/Live@575? Their website is down as of this writing, and their MySpace site is almost mocking the recent changes in ownership/management...

Anyone have a clue what's going on over there? I have driven by several times to see a vacant parking lot.

Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
