OH MAN, what a show last night.  Manda and I went to see Skinny Puppy last night in Santa Cruz (California...) at a club that I haven't been in years...The Catalyst.  I know I have been there a handful of times, but almost always on a guest list and getting so drunk the show ends up a hazy memory (at best) with no stub for later recall, even.  I know I saw Pigface there way back when.  Maybe RevCo.  Helmet, I think.  Who knows...it's damn near local for us, it's such an easy drive of about an hour tops.

Okay, I must say most emphatically that these guys has long, long been of enormous musical inspiration for me.  My nick (Brap) is derived from them (and for damn good reason) and has been for 20 years...do you get the inklings of how far back my relationship with this band goes?  Yep...pretty far.  Hell, THEY have been around since the early 80's and touring almost exactly as long (with a long break in the middle due to the death of a member, Dwayne, who I knew a bit) and they have had all the trials and tribulations of any Great Band.  I could talk about them for days, but that's what Wikipedia is for, right?  :)

Anyway, AWESOME show.  I recommend anyone who likes them get out there and see them on this tour.  They were about the best they have been (to me) since the Too Dark Park Tour (which I saw 3 consecutive shows of, whoah, what a week, yep) and *everyone* had a great time-- it was obvious.

Now it's time for dinner.


Peace!
