STUUUUUU... WHERE ARE YOU? With the show date coming ever closer the guys had a solid set list but still no bassist...Finally after several auditions and disappointments their brake came! Bassist Mark Welker while visiting a local music shop saw the add and called them...They immediately set up an audition and Mark passed with flying colors. The same week they called him back over to start working on the set list which consisted of songs from Satriani's Albums...Mark Welker bass player for Tommy's Joe Satriani Tributeproject. Mark, like Brian Shearn can be very progressive on his instrument, laying down odd meter grooves and Billy Sheehan fingering, but knows how to lay back and groove with Brian on the fat grooves. Mark had four days to learn Tommy's orginals for the set to be played at the Bone Bash III. Tommy's orginals had won the competition on 107.7 FM The Bone Radio and Mark only new the Satriani tunes so when they won the live side of the competition (playing Satriani tunes at The Gaslighter) the clock was ticking to learn the hour set of Tommy's orginals in the next four days. The show was a success.
