Where to begin!! Havasu ended up great! We landed a show at our hotel on the last sunday of our stay and rocked a huge pool party! We have to thank Randy and Barbie at Gallagher's again for being such nice, hospitable people to us.
Mesa, AZ...a huge thanks to Jay at the Goathead and to Ricardo and Jesse for rocking it harder than anyone we've ever seen and for letting us stay at their pad. There are some photos of Camelback Mountain which is a hike we went on during our stay.
Flagstaff, AZ. For anyone who loves SLO as much as we do, visit Flagstaff. It's an artsy little college mountain town. The show at Mia's was great. Duncan, the bartender found out how much we loved Jameson and acted accordingly. Everyone at the show was very receptive of our sound.
Albuquerque, NM. Big thanks to Pat pennyjar's family for having us stay at their beautiful home. Vicki and Tracy were gracious hosts to us. The show at Ralli's 4th St. Pub was awesome. We played with three other local bands and we got the crowd up and dancing, Midnight 30 did a great job as well!!! Much props to Joe for having us out at Ralli's. The next night we played Misty's Hideaway. Shawna, the bartender, Brian, the doorman, and Marcus, the soundman were all wonderful people to hang with. The stage and sound were great as was the audience response, we got 'em grooving again. A foosball championship ensued after our set to the wonderful sounds and beautiful harmonies of the Alburquerque based rock quartet, Frostbite. Check 'em out! Ysidro and his brother rock vocal harmonies like you've never heard!!!
On our first day off in a while (Sunday)...we camped in a little spot in New Mexico called ruidoso. There's a racetrack, a casino, a kick-ass miniramp, and great little RV camp run by Neil, the nicest no-bullshit cowboy you'll ever meet. I have never jammed so many acoustic campfire tunes in my life. Guitar teaching for trev and pakes has turned them into human songbooks. Honestly, everything from Pink Floyd to Madonna, they've got it (I wasn't a fan of the madonna..haha)!
Currently we rest our little heads in the town of San Angelo, TX. The Hymbacker family has given us a great little spot to sleep and hang until our show on Thursday at the Oasis. Last night we partied at a spot called the Steel Penny Pub and landed a slot tonight at their open mic night. The place reminds me a lot of the frog and peach, so if you're ever down here, check it!!! Paul from the San Angelo Times wrote a great article on us...click on the link to read http://gosanangelo.com/news/2008/may/30/kings-of-the-road/?printer=1/ Huge thanks to Paul, Jen for the wonderful spaghetti meal, and my cousin Ben for hooking it all up!
So that's it for now, obviously this is the PG-15 version of what's been happening on our great journey. So if you know us well enough to have our numbers, give us a call and we'll give you the dirty lowdown truth hahah. Thank you all for helping us out, coming to our shows and rocking out. You've made this possible and we're taking San Luis Obispo County on stage with us every night. Rock on dudes!!!
