With barely a weeks notice there was a Wrestlemania themed party at my friends and fellow bandmates from the noise group Dr. Jones. It was a success! There was a eating contest, Round one, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Round two hard boiled eggs, Round three, blackened hot dogs in a bun. Oh yeah, and the only thing the contestants were allowed to wash it all down with was shots of whiskey. I did not participate, I had to perform, twice!! I played with my old band Tres Madres who hadn't performed live together in nearly two years, and Dr. Jones played right thereafter! That was my first show ever where I got to play in more than one band to play a show!!! I was so excited!!! Some of the old bands changes were a bit sloppy around the edges but all in all, we got the crowd going, screaming with us and we felt very appreciated! It was awesome the way things worked out!!! Then I kept my amp plugged in as my friend Jason also in both bands and I were performing in both Tres Madres and Dr. Jones, all the set up I really had to worry about was changing out my effects, I use different pedals between the two projects, I don't really ever want to end up sounding like a carbon copy of myself, so, I feel that it is important to keep things somewhat fresh every time you start in to a new project. So, for the Dr. Jones set, we had been practicing trying to embody the musical spirit of Hulkamania through trying to do a narrative of some of the Hulkster's classic matches while making all sorts of almost lurkish yet calamitous noise to back the blows of the match. There were two acts prior two the two bands I played with also well worth mentioning, both have myspace pages well worth stopping at: Arsenlives!
and Paintings For Animals. Both acts are well skilled super cool solo acts, not to mention really cool guys!!! The party was a success!!! After all the musical performances were through there was a huge fake wrestling bout that happened in the front yard!!! The whole party was a blast and it seemed that everyone who went there had a blast! I really can say that's the best party I've been to in years!!!
