We headed back to the studio this week to track drums for tunes from the upcoming album "RED, WHITE & BLACK", and of course, good times were had. I got to the studio around 3 PM to find my drums had already arrived...love it when a plan comes together. The Maestro, engineer rock-star and drum whisperer Ron Letts of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Inabox-Studios/512374178798963" target="_blank">INABOX</a> studios and I spent about 4 hours setting up and then tuning. All that painstaking attention allowed us to get one hell of a huge drum sound. Just as soon as we nail down the sound of thunder, Low end friend Josh arrives, followed by The commander-in-chief himself. Got all the loud makers set up and the fiddles tuned...Time for some dinner and relaxing. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/17194_451115151637327_1866968550_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/17194_451115151637327_1866968550_n.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Around 8 PM, we finally get our rockstar asses in gear. First tune on the list was "War At Home". First take...BOOM! Second and third tunes went just as easy. Little punch here, little punch there - Done like a snail in the sun. The Maestro sets 'em up and we knock 'em down. That's the way the Blacked Out Brothers do...1, 2, BBQ! </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/533745_514394548596926_1518838029_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/533745_514394548596926_1518838029_n.jpg" width="200" /></a><a href="https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/563637_514394691930245_91518597_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/563637_514394691930245_91518597_n.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
We only set out to get the drums laid for three tunes, and we ended up getting four..Fan favorite "Nowhere man" was the last track of the night...and we fucking killed it. One take, nailed down tight. I gotta say, this album is going to take heads clean off, and that's just based off the rough mixes! Stay Tuned Blacked Out Kiddies...More to Come. </div>

- Budda OUT! </div>
<br />
<br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16938923895616100360noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1188271109929656876.post-71294998396423468132013-03-25T10:47:00.001-07:002013-03-25T16:05:00.768-07:00Stories From the Road #12 - Hull Ave Tavern 3-22-13<div style="text-align: center;">
Second gig of the year, and what a crazy night it was. A birthday bash for the ages, in honor of our Drummer. 20 Foot forehead opened the show with a face melting acoustic set. 2 songs into their set, and The ever Eccentric 20 Foot forehead Vocalist Jeffy Alexander laid the ground rules for the night....<br />
<br />
<i>"Anytime anyone says 'Budda!' everyone has to drink. BUDDA!!!!"</i><br />
<br />
Not only did this set the pace for most in attendance to be flirting with drunkenness before 20 Foot Forehead finished their set, but this also had the crowd shouting out "Budda!" at possible opportunity - including the man of honor himself, grabbing the mic and spitting about 20 successive "Budda's" in one fell swoop of vocal deluge. One glance around the venue, and almost as far as the eye could see, there were empty shot glasses accompanying empty pitchers and bottles of various brands of suds and malted beverages adorning every table En Masse. Despite being sans drummer and rocking acoustic, Jeffy and the gang delivered in true rock and roll fashion, rolling out the red carpet for the hard rock mayhem that was about to descend upon the Hull Ave Tavern. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After a short change over, In Troubled Times made their return to the stage, delivering their own brand of modern hard rock sound that took many by surprise. Performing fan favorites such as "Hobo with a Shotgun" and "Intruder" as well as rousing cover tune renditions of "Fallen" and "We Die Young", from the first note to the last cymbal crash, ITT made it clear that the band was back, stronger than ever. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, the Mighty Blacked Out World took the stage to headline the insanity that we dubbed "Party". In True Heavy Rock fashion, The Blacked Out Brotherhood crushed it. Opening the set with brand new tunes from their forthcoming album "RED, WHITE & BLACK", the BOW war machine cut a swath of audiological destruction, ripping through crowd favorites "Bleed For You", "Nowhere Man" as well as unleashing some more brand new music and finally capping a brutal set with BOW's own take on Classic Metal covers of Black Sabbath's"Snowblind" and Black Label Society's "Graveyard Disciples". Taking heads off, 1, 2, BBQ! According to one of the fans "Once again, Blacked Out world makes this shit look easy". All in all, it was a fun night, and a gig for the history books. <br />

Finally roll into the East Village, 20 minutes 'till doors open. Get the gear loaded in and the rigs out of the alley... HOLY SHIT! Found a parking right behind the venue...LUCKY!<br /><br />Was good seein' old friends again, and tried out the new drum tech. Brandon is a great guy and a damn fine tech. You all should come out and say him and buy him a round for all his hard work...He definitely helps keep the big machine rollin'. The Blacked Out Family was in full effect and definitely adding to the cool factor. Shelby Finch debuted her talent for rocking on stage with us for a cool version of "Suicide Note" Duet Style. Thanks to Shelby! Also, a big thanks goes out to Lisa and Rockstar photography.<br /><br />Ira Grace opened the show with Twenty2 Salute following. Was an eclectic mix for support bands, but we enjoyed it. All around decent people and good musicians. Then hit the stage and come out all guns blazin'. Rapid Fire, one right after the other, just screamin through our set, takin' names and just plain killin' it. Technical difficulties abound, bass guitar straps and crash cymbals floppin' round in the breeze...(Thanks for the great quality construction on the gear China!) Josh and I didn't care, dealt with it in true rock fashion and powered right through it to deliver another blistering show. Overall it was a good crowd, and another gig recorded in the funny pages. Made some new friends, Made some new fans and the wild fire keeps spreadin'.<br /><br />Till next time...Keep Bleedin' Black!<br />Budda OUT!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16938923895616100360noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1188271109929656876.post-5687186994191349962011-08-05T23:45:00.000-07:002013-04-09T23:46:20.500-07:00Blacked Out World Live 8-5-2011 Des Moines Iowa<b>AUG 5, 2011<br />HULL AVENUE TAVERN- Des Moines, IA</b><br /><br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Till next time...Keep Bleedin' Black!<br />Budda OUT!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16938923895616100360noreply@blogger.com0
