We're pretty lucky that we usually have fun at every show, making each one special. (And that is solely because we have cool, fun people that come out to see us...thank you for that, by the way.) Then there are the "once-in-a-lifetime" shows - ones that you vividly remember years later, and remain in some special place in your heart. Getting to open up for a national act is always very cool, but when they are one of your favorite bands ever...well, then, it just doesn't get any better than that! If you don't know who Roger Clyne is - search them out and please give them a listen. Trust me in that you'll thank us for it. Unbelievably great songwriting...and many of the tunes are about drinking, Mexico, or drinking in Mexico - but all touch more on the bigger picture of life and love. Catchy story songs with incredible words, backed up by one of the best live rock 'n roll bands you'll ever see.
Here's a few words taken from their bio:
"Clyne's songwriting is often compared to the greats of rock and Americana music and on the band's March 2007 album, "No More Beautiful World", he weaves the song mastery that ensures that words are never wasted.
A legion of fans help propel the band's popularity with sold-out shows and coveted Top 10 entries in Billboard charts for all of their albums. In fact, RCPM is the only independent band to have had five consecutive albums debut in the top 10 of Billboard's Internet Sales chart, including several #1 entries. Frontman Roger Clyne is also well-known as singer/songwriter for the The Refreshments, a late-90s rock band whose cult-classic album "Fizzy Fuzzy, Big & Buzzy" produced the hit singles Banditos and Down Together. Clyne also wrote and performed the twangy theme song for FOX's animated hit, "King of The Hill." In addition to their headline shows, they have opened for John Fogerty, Willie Nelson, Barenaked Ladies, Live, Blues Traveler and Sammy Hagar, among others."
Check out this video for one of their new songs - it's pretty cool because it shows clips of their amazing live shows.
And there's a whole slew of other videos for them on You Tube, for those of you with a little time on your hands. Can you tell we're just a little fired up about this one?!
