Band News
Welcome to the 3IF band news! For those of you new to the program I am Garrett the bass player for 3IF and I usually write the "news" the day after a gig so most of the time it reads more like a show recap. What you should know first is that I am an a$$. I often say/write/type things for the sake of amusement (my own first and foremost) and sometimes I will even say/write/type things I don't always believe if I think it might make somebody grin(myself first and foremost). My opinions are my own and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of my band mates. They have the luxury of not going public but trust me, those F'ers are just as twisted! Sometimes my news segments suck and other times they are mildly entertaining. The effort I put into each news section varies and is in no way a reflection of the success of the show that preceded it. One last thing, I occasionally curse in the news. If you find swear words offensive please stop reading now. That being said, here's the news:
What the hell was that all about? All we wanted to do was go out and play our lil' set of 80's Metal songs and the next thing you know a mutha of a party broke out! A quick "thank you" list and then I'll get to some memorable moments from the show.
Thanks to Pat and the entire MAC'S BAD ART BAR staff who continue to play the perfect host to our extravaganzas! It is with great pride that we call this place our home!
Thanks to Ozone who once again did a wonderful job getting the crowd amped up!
Thanks to Fairplay Sound and Schad Lighting for all their hard work!
Lastly but most importantly, thanks to all of you who decided to come out and party with us for the evening. We hope you had as much fun as we did!
Now for the dirt:
- We opened the show with Yankee Rose and it seemed like a great way to kick things into high gear. That song will always be an 80's Metal anthem!
- Lotsa beads
- Sean busted out his new drum riser for the show. On top of giving him a better perspective while playing it also gives the rest of us one more thing to climb on. Saaweeeeeeeeeeeeeet!
- Lotsa beer
- Speaking of the stage rig, we had our "ego" boxes set up in front of the riser and at one point I did the lamest jump in the history of live rock-n-roll. There are 3 keys to a successful stage jump. Commitment, execution and most importantly timing. Kinger from OHK is a world class jumper! I am a disgrace. I failed in all three phases and if it looked half as silly as it felt I hope at the very least you got a good laugh..i suck!
- Lotsa balloons
- DR was rockin' all night and more than made up for his temporary amnesia last week!
- Lotsa lovely ladies
- I forget which song it was but at the end of the song we all stop on cue and Pat who was starting to feel the effects of the Jager did what we call a "dinosaur" ending. You've all heard dinosaur endings at rock shows. It's pretty much where everyone solos on the last note of the song. Well imagine that, but where only one dude in the band does it..and it takes him half a minute to realize he's the only one doing it. Priceless! Other than that Pat had a stellar evening!
- Lotsa loud amps
- Jeff was his usual dependable self throughout the night. Shredding through solos with a look on his face as though he's reading the phonebook. But who needs rock star facial expressions when ya got them guns on display????
- Lotsa sex toys!?!?!
- Thanks to the UTG guys for comin' out to the show. It was great to see y'all!
- Lotsa colored lights
- We had various guest jams throughout the night including appearances by Jeff from Karma and Chris and John from Tangled Grace! It's always fun to share the stage with those guys!
- Lotsa smoke
- LOUD crowd that loved to sing which worked out great because we love to hear it!
- Lotsa Jager
- We also played We All Die Young from Steel Dragon and I LOVE playing that song! Pat rips on that solo!
- Lotsa 80's Metal
- Late in the set the stage was overtaken by the audience and mayhem broke loose until we played our last note. As always, we'd have it no other way!
- Lotsa love!
- All in all it was a wonderful night that one would have to experience to fully appreciate the fun that was had. Whether it was your first 3IF show or you hang with us regularly we want to thank you and encourage you to keep comin' back for more. We always aim to throw a party and you and you're friends are always invited!
