WORLD'S ONLY BUTTHOLE SURFERS TRIBUTE BAND

About Me


9/10/07 - The Parlor (Austin):
I just realized we had not commented on the show! Well, Austin went 100% smoother than the previous night. All the bugs were worked out with the strobe lights (bad cable) and we played very well. Good response too from everyone watching, even had people show up who are BHS fans.
9/7/07 - July Alley (Deep Ellum):
It was hot, long night & nothing worked. Strobes, projection, and attitudes, nothing was in check. After further review, we did better than we thought, it wasn't perfect, but it was far from a full on disaster.

7/13/07 - Friday the 13th, Nightmare at Elm Street Bar (Deep Ellum, Dallas)
Pix are in our profile, wasn't that many taken! But there was a pretty killer video taken of it all thanks to our number one co-fan: Bug! We're really proud of the show & felt we played the best we could. All the mistakes are fixable & none are majorly glaring either! DOWNLOAD THE MP3s FROM THE SHOW HERE .
Here is a video Bug took with a crappy little digital cam during the end jam of "100 Million People Dead".

3/23/07 - Emo's Lounge (6th Street, Austin)
Some pix from that night. We had a lot more fun & played ok. It was only our 2nd gig & 1st time using a full blown PA. We had the opposite problem than our Rose show. This time, it was soooo loud we had a problem hearing. People were saying they were having fun & we hope they indeed did, but we hope for better efforts soon. We've come to the conclusion we're just not yet ready. The 2 gigs we did play, we got by LUCK, but they were eye opening. We'll take some time to get better, a lot better, before we play live again.

2/23/07 - San Francisco Rose (Lower Greenville, Dallas)
Some pix from that night. It was more of a "live rehearsal" than playing live . . . we screwed up more playing there than in rehearsal!
