The Rhythm Mission is starting to gell!
Looks like we are going to get on a regular rotation at Herman's!
I want to get this band into Ziggie's regular rotation, as well and get in to Chapultepec 2, Blondies, Jammin' Joe's and start to bring the Rhythm Mission to the masses! Our playing and vocals are starting to really gell and the band is starting to discover it's potential, as we add some Queen, Delbert McClinton and more Betales, Stones and Joe Walsh to the mix. One of the band's goals is to add songs to our playlist that most bands don't play. It helps us to achieve that goal with 4 distinct lead voices and the ability to harmonize in three and four part harmony as well! The gig at Herman's was a blast!
The Rhythm Mission played our first gig at Herman's
Hideaway on Wed, October 5th, the day after my youngest daughter celebrated her 21st birthday and it was a blast! From the opening song to the last song we played, there were people dancing and singing along! And of course Herman's has a great sound system. We got a lot of compliments on both our song selection and the fact that every member of the band took a turn on lead vocals, as well as having some good harmonies. Feels good to be on the drummer's chair again pounding the skins and singing my little hippie heart out! RIP, Clarence Clemons
I heard with great sadness
of the death of Mr. Clarence Clemons, The Big Man from the E Street Band. He was one guy who every time I saw him play in concert, in a movie or on TV, I thought "He would be a cool guy to just hang out with". He was the kind of player whose attitude was infectious when he played. You watched him and you just knew that he was having an out-of -body experience whenever he played. The Big Man set the standard that every musician aspires to. I feel like I've lost a member of my family. New Band!
I'm parting ways with The Rhythm Junkies, due to disagreements on how the band should go forward. I like to rehearse tight sets while the Junkies prefer to be loose and sloppy. I'm putting together a new band, The Rhythm Express!
The Rhythm Express is still going to feature great vocals, but in addition it is going to have a lot of percussion with the addition of congas, timbales and other hand percussion along with my kicking it on the drum kit. The keys will be more prominient as well - if you dig the B-3 sound and the funky piano style of Dr.John and Billy Preston, you're gonna want to climb aboard The Rhythm Express! RIP, Gil Scott-Heron :(
I heard the news last night from a friend that Gil Scot-Heron died. He was only 62, but the man was a giant. The Real Deal. Gil Scott-Heron was a man of vision and integrity, and the world is a darker place without him in it.
BIG changes coming soon!
There are some major changes coming soon that are going to take things to a whole new level! Stay tuned!!
Ziggies ROCKED last night!
It was a great gig last night! The sound was great and the people were awesome!
The Rhythm Junkies are playing Ziggies!
Ziggies has been an institution in Denver for decades, so we are really excited to be playing there this Saturday night! The show is gonna ROCK!
Mixing is coming along!
Posted the first track from the session on Sunday! Mixing, mastering and syncing the video is still going on. It was a GOOD session! The band is really sounding good!!
The Rhythm Junkies are mixing a DVD from last night!
We recorded a great DVD at Smokin' Joe's last night(Sunday)! In the process of mixing the video and audio, but the rough tracks sound really good!
