Cahootenanny’s

It may be cold outside but things are definitely going to be HOT at Cahoot's this Saturday night Nov 20.Don't miss Jager sponsoredSik Souls www.siksouls.com as they take over the night at one of the few places they can actually give out all that great FREE Jager stuff.Of course we will have drink specials all night to help them warm you up.

Then if your still a little chilled the guys from Rite of Passage www.riteofpassageband.com will be taking the stage to finish things off.Just in case you haven't heard them I will quote them here, "Description: Slightly agressive,yet we always find time to cuddle! A solid platform of aural pleasure with pieces of jazz, electronics, and a hint of hardcore. Something to please even the most delicate palate."

Now if the doesn't leave felling all warm inside I guess you just have to go for some of the best pizza anywhere in the South anyway!

This show will be brought to you by AFT, Coors Light and Cahootenanny's so get out here and make AFT some money so they can keep those great national acts coming thru without the corporate help of AC E.

By the way we are smoker friendly.Just not at the oxygen bar!

Ireson’s Pub

Trenton NJ's The CryptKeeper 5 are stopping off at Ireson's Pub in Bristol on their current tour. If you've never heard them then don't miss this show. Their musical style is comparable to say The E Street Band and The Beaver Brown Band.
In other words it's just kick a** American Blue Collar Rock n' Roll with sax and keyboards.

Also playing will be WV's own Blitzkid. Arguably the best horror rock band on the planet right now.

The show is this Friday, Nov. 19th.

Sophisticated Otter

After a year of memorable shows, new found fans, and many unexpected opportunities, Witherspoon has announced one last show this year before changing their focus to 2005. The band will join forces with Stickhorse on Saturday, November 20th to bring a fireball of energy to The Sophisticated Otter, a night spot that is not generally know for metal performances.

Witherspoon was formed in 2003, when Bo Blackwell (drums) and Jon Frazier (bass) teamed up with Adam Poff (guitar) and Ronnie James (vocals), in an effort to write original music that had meaning to them as well as the people that would eventually hear it. The group had a common interest immediately with the style of music they preferred, but a brotherhood that was later discovered proved to be the dangerous ingredient in this explosive group. After several months of nonstop writing and even performing live for the first time, long time friend Shane Lavinder (guitar) was brought in to finish the collaboration of seasoned performers. The band admits it has been somewhat of a blur since.

A new found fan base, a new CD, and a clothing endorsement are just a couple of the accomplishments made in 2004. The band’s debut EP, released in September, has continued to sell many copies. It can be purchased at any Witherspoon concert, but this show could be your last chance before the new year. The biggest news for the band to date took place only two weeks ago. METAL Jeans, a Los Angeles-based clothing company commonly seen advertising in Revolver and Metal Maniac Magazines, chose to endorse Witherspoon. This is even bigger news to the group, as they are the only band currently sponsored by METAL Jeans. This opportunity provides not only clothing for the band, but many free promotions that benefit their fans.

What new milestones will Witherspoon meet and crush in 2005 is still speculation. Until then, strap your helmets on and prepare for the last assault of 2004.

Got real behind this week

I have gotten terribly behind this week. Working 2 jobs is cutting into my concert/beer time. I will try and gather up last minute shows this weekend and post them. Not that it will do me any good as I work - tonight, tomorrow, and Sunday. At least I will have a good meal on Saturday night - even if I won't be able to drink a lot. Check back in an hour or so and there will be shows posted. Sorry. :)

THE BEAST IS RELEASED

The SNAPPER DVD is now available for purchase via PayPal! Product details, pricing, and the PayPal purchase link can be found on the SNAPPER WEBSITE. See for yourself the unbridled, Z-Grade, no budget, comedic horror of the only 'film' based on the legendary giant snapping turtle of Ulanawa Lake! See SNAPPER!

Below is the only known photograph of the Ulanawa Lake creature. It is shown peering out from under a rocky lake bank. The photo was developed from film in a blood encrusted camera found by the lakeshore. It was the last shot taken.



I would like to personally thank everyone who has expressed interest in the project. Whether you bought a DVD, bought a shirt, responded to our earlier free promos, left us a review via the comments or e-mail, wrote about us on your blog/website, forced your friends to watch SNAPPER, or helped to spread the word of our turd in any way at all. Thank you from the bottom of our bowels! May the powers that be bless every last one of you!

A very special thanks goes out to everyone in our small group involved in the production of this abomination! The effort and dedication you have all poured into this project will never be forgotten, nor forgiven. Be proud, your names are etched forever in the annals of cinematic trash!

...And as always, BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU FISH FOR!!!!

JOIN THE WAR PARTY

Long before nu-metal whelps like Slipknot thought starting a 'masked' band would be cool, a group of musicians and artists in Richmond, Virginia had taken theatrical metal to the extreme. The late eighties gave birth to this artistic collective's most successful enterprise. The fine folks at Slave Pit, as the collective was dubbed, formed GWAR.

GWAR combined great metal music with elements of pseudo pornography, fantasy, sci-fi, horror, and comedy into a theatrical performance like no other. Visit the GWAR WEBSITE! Leave your flesh at the door!

GWAR released their new album, WAR PARTY on October 26th, 2004. I picked it up today and was quite happy with it. The musical stylings stay in the vein of their last release, VIOLENCE HAS ARRIVED, which was of course, excellent! The humorous lyrics abound as always, but there are no straight out comedy songs.

I miss the straight out comedy songs, but WAR PARTY does not suffer from their absence. GWAR has released another fine effort. Bless them all!

If GWAR comes anywhere near your town, go see them! Their live show, in all its comedic gory pseudo porno glory, is unlike anything else out there!

-WRECKS-
