HULL AVENUE TAVERN- Des Moines, IA
Of all the "first" gigs I've played, and all of the small venues whose stages I have performed on, this gig tops 'em all. The house was packed, the sound was awesome and the liquor was cold. We brought the thunder, opened fire and took heads off...ONE, TWO BARBEQUE!!!! Choppin' Broccoli, brother, I guaran-damn-tee you. The night went down in straight up rock n' roll outlaw fashion. We rolled up, loaded in and prepped the loud makers. Walking around, runnin into folks, making new friends, downed some cold ones, watched the acoustic genius of a cat named Tyler. Iron Maiden on the flat top box? Sure at shit it was.
Then we hit the stage and all hell breaks loose. Tore through an hour long, blistering set. Was hot as hell on stage - "Sweatin' more water than we could drink, and perspiring like hookers on Judgement day. Des Moines in August is a humid, 'sack-stuck-to-your-leg' muhfuh, but we didn't care. The air we moved kept it just shy of Hell's Furnace. Headliners Scarlet Suicide took the stage and killed it. Just great musicians and good people. Lookin' forward to the next time we share a stage with them.
Killer Rock n Roll, the Blacked Out Family and Booze - the recipe for a fuckin' great time. I can't think of a better way to throw down a first gig.
Till next time...Keep Bleedin' Black!
Budda OUT!
