We had a great time this past Saturday playing for the Dana UAW party. Jeremy’s dad Greg has hooked us up with Ohio State /Michigan gigs but this was a much bigger affair. We had decided before the gig that Joe should dress up as Santa Claus. But after debate since Thrash loves Fanta Cola so much we had decided he should dress up in an orange and white suit and go as Fanta Claus. However, this dream never left Sunset Studio (fortunately there are a lot of dreams that never leave the studio). The UAW hall is one of the bigger indoor venues we have played and there was a lot of people there to celebrate their Christmas party. Some party goers like our buddy Chad were really out to have a good time, it was fun to watch all the people. We mixed in two Christmas songs with our regular set, one was great, one was not so great. Hopefully they cancelled each other out. The night ended with Craig /Shooter jumping off the stage and running around the room during an encore performance of House of the Rising Sun. When back on stage he mocked Joe’s “over the head” guitar solo to find that someone had followed him back on stage. The king of the Hill had ran up on stage behind Craig. With this madness, nobody was sure how to end the song! It was a fitting end to one wacked out Christmas party. Cheers again to Greg who not only keeps us rolling in his Sunset Suburban but booked us for such a big event!
More than music… it’s a way of life.
