The band line up is huge with 37 bands playing over the three day event. "I am really pumped about this year's festival! We really have some of the best local talent in the area playing," Matt Smith from AFT Entertainment said, "and we have a winner take all $500 bikini contest Saturday evening. He goes on to say, "We have Erwin police officers, both on and off duty, to help with security issues and crowd control and food will be offered by River's Edge Restaurant.

2004 Edgies Acoustic Performances on DVD

As JT mentioned on the Monday Night Edge, there is a DVD of the acoustic sets from downBleeed, Goodspeed, and Blindsight. If you are interested in obtaining a copy - leave a comment at the end of this posting or email to Xyon - at teamrock2004@yahoo.com. Price of the DVD is $7.

Also of note, there is a new version of the DVD completed. The first version that I got out as fast as I could was a basic version with all the performances. The new edition is spruced up a little more with the appropriate credit where credit is due. I prefer the second edition over the first. All I have left to do is make a DVD label.

So, if you are interested...email me at the link to the right or leave a comment here (if you comment here, leave an email address).

Rocking it at the Edgies - Acoustic Style

The good people over at WRZK and Stephanie Bullock over at Tricites.com made it possible for me to join the bands last night at the 2nd annual Edgie awards. The Sophisticated Otter's back room was full of bands hoping to walk away the coveted Edgy award given to mainly local bands with a regional category thrown in to hopefully keep regional artists coming through our area.

The evening started off with a bang as downBleed was the first acoustic band of the evening. They played a three song melody that was a bit different (especially with Doug and his finely tuned skull shaker) but it still came off quite good. Goodspeed (crazy fuckers! :) ) and Blindsight (always good seeing those guys) also did acoustic sets that sounded tremendous.

Goodspeed was the big winner with 3 awards (Best Pop/Rock Performance, Best Male Vocalist, and Best Live Performance), Blindsight with 2 (Best Metal/Alternative Performance and Artist of the Year), with Omega Tribe picking up Album of the Year, Mia Richards for Best Female Performance, and regional artist went to Swift.

I had a blast last night recording the performances and they turned out better than I expected with only the digital camcorder's speaker to pick up the performances - You should start seeing these around the web (here, on the local bands sites, and possibly even on WRZK.)

Thanks again to JT, Stephanie Bullock at Tricities.com, downBleed, and all the bands for making it really a great evening.

Ansley Roberts Promotions and Bud "True Music" present: The Breakfast Club
Admission is only $8, show starts at 10:30.

After an 8-month absence, The Breakfast Club returns to the Tri-cities with local fans quickly losing patience regarding the long hiatis. Gatsby's has reported many calls from fans asking when the band would be playing again. The decision to take a long break was not made by the Breakfast Club, but by local promoter Ansley Roberts. "I think every great thing needs to be missed in order to be fully appreciated", says Roberts.
The Breakfast Club has been a local favorite for several years, as the band has a huge fan base consisting of ages 21-70. The Breakfast Club plays exclusively music from the '80s, and shows no shame in celebrating the decade of parachute pants, hairspray, and MTV.
The backbone of the band, keyboardist Mike Mundy, returns with possibly the best line-up since the Breakfast Club's peak in popularity in the mid '90s. The band consists of Scottish bassist/vocalist, Steve Campbell;
new drummer John Langdon, along with a former superstar of The Breakfast Club that is currently drawing huge audiences since his surprise return.

Breaking News From Eligah Strange

Jeff Cross, of Eligah Strange, brought his daughter to our family 4th of July picnic Sunday evening. He informed me that Eligah Strange has started playing together again. They are resuming work on their 3rd Album - "Medicine Head." Having recorded 2 songs already they hope to have 10+ songs on the new album. From what I understand, they will not be as frequent on the scene as they used to be, but at least they will be playing it again. Keep a look out for future updates.
