How I Swindled Myself another Show!

We have a show coming up next week on Friday July 29th at the Ralston/indiefest 2017. 

 Then, I swindled the Korner Bar in Hamtramck into giving me August 26th to book us and other bands on! So far we have us, and Radke on the bill. I ran into a guy name Jeremy Radke when playing at the Phoenix Cafe'. Pete and I thought his improvisational bluesy sound would go good with ours, so we asked if if felt like bringing his band with him on the 26th!

We are still looking for a 3rd act, for this show, which will be announced as soon as we find out who is available! (who is desperate enough to play with us two fellas)

 We don't have any shows booked for most of August. Next week's show will be our last until the 26th. We hope to record our music during this time, and shoot a video. I'm not making any promises yet! The more we play, the better we sound, so why not delay recording as long as possible?

Well, hopefully we find a 3rd band who is willing to play with us! We would like an act in the rock genre. Anything but EMO hardcore rock that is!

My voice is being silenced by the liberal media

Some people may be aware that a group I perform in, the Ill Itches, will be having a record release this Friday at the Marble bar here in Detroit. The band has done several interviews where the interviewer emails the band questions and we each answer them. In one such interview, all of my answers were omitted, and I heard from the other band members the music journalist got mad because I didn't take the interview seriously enough. I feel like I am in high school again. Here is a link to the interview as published: Ill Itches DeepCutz Interview. It was partly this incident with this interview that inspired me to start writing my own blog again. I really meant no ill-will with my answers to these questions. I just felt like the questions were "leading questions". You know what I'm talking about, questions where the interviewer is really looking for a specific response from the subject. I know the interviewer wanted me to get all sentimental and retrospective ab

That time I bought a Guitar for $1 at Guitar Center

Image
When I had just graduated high school, I was still working my job at a grocery store. I made enough money to go guitar shopping. I used to drive from rural Lenawee county to Toledo OH to get to Guitar Center. One day I heard a radio ad for a Guitar Center Labor Day Sale on September 5th, 2005. At this point in my life, Guitar Center was something I had only recently discovered. This ad was extra special... the loud demanding voice on the radio ad claimed Guitar Center was going to be selling guitars for just $1! The night before the sale, I drove down to the Guitar Center and arrived at about 10:30 pm. I began waiting at the front door of the business. I remember texting some of my friends from the grocery store I worked at, they ended up joining me about an hour later. Then, two other small town guys that went to my high school showed up randomly. The first 6 or 7 people in line, (me being first of course) were all from Lenawee county! I thought this was sort of funny because we a
