About Me

Started in late 2004 as a way to get the jonesing to play some old tunes out of their system. Billybob Jethro and Big Frank decided to go full on with a band play some of the old classic tunes , some songs that you've never heard, and some songs that they have written.We're writing and drinking, or is that drinking and writing? songs about, love, booze, food, religion, and of course bowling and redemption in the bottom of a bottle.voted Best Band to Get Drunk to for 2005 by albanystage.comcalled "Northern Culture On The Sauce" by local music mainstay Jim Barret
..Update Fall 2007, well going on 3 plus years so far so good, been through one drummer (and a fill-in guy), recently lost the harmonica player, opened for the Fleshtones, opened and backed up Hick'ry Hawkins, done a slew of gigs around the Capital District.
