"EYYYY SPAGHETTI HEAD! I'M ROCKIN' HERE!!!" WILD times with these Cobras!
With my foggy memories from this whirlwind tour, I forgot to mention that Lori, Tim, and Jim and I kidnapped Trell (the Cobras’ keyboardist) and took him home to Trenton with us after Don Hill’s. Muahahaha!!!
Wait... What the hell is going on?
Waking up after the crazy night I had at Asbury wasn’t easy. But, since I woke up literally 10 minutes before checkout, I kind of blindly fumbled around, grabbed my things, and hit the road.
Friday morning was BRIGHT and sunny (ow!!) and made me feel a little like a wampire. Blehhhh. Creeping out into the blazing sunshine, I grabbed a coffee and a terrible sandwich from the local gas station, and we were back in the car heading home to get ready for the night’s festivities in NYC.
Even through my hungover, throbbing eyes I could hardly wait. Read more »
We rock. That is all.
After an epic start to the tour at Arlene’s Grocery, we headed down to Asbury Park for the next show at Asbury Lanes. I have to say that in hindsight, I think the Arlene’s show was probably my favorite. Both bands had something to prove. I felt like a proud mama hen watching my boys that night. These Honah Lee boys work so unbelievably hard week after week after week after week, writing, playing, rehearsing and then rehearsing some more. It was nice to see all those practices and late weeknights start to pay off with tours like this one. Read more »
LAMMIES!
The Party! Party! Party! Tour quickly went from an idea we bounced around jokingly to a reality. It all sort of hit me when the laminates arrived.
The tour was tossed around between the Mystic Knights of the Cobra and Jim and I on our trip to the Bay Area for New Year’s Eve at Toot’s. That was the first time we’d met and hung out with that whole crowd, and Jim and I were blown away at how awesome and welcoming those folks were to two complete strangers spending their first New Year’s Eve on the west coast. We partied till the breaka-breaka dawn with these folks… and thought that they’d fit right in with our crazy crowd of people here at home. Read more »
Josh T. Landow's Official Pic - Replacing the god-awful one I'd posted earlier. LOL.
I try desperately to always blog with a large set of images, but this just came across my desk and I HAD to write something about it. Co-founder and all-around indie rock proponent Josh T. Landow is currently broadcasting his last live show on YRockOnXPN.org. Right now. And then that’s it.
Josh T. Landow is responsible for programming some of the most amazing independent radio I’ve heard in a very long time. Always playing new music (including LOTS of local music!!!) and promoting so many amazing shows around the Philadelphia area, for the past 4 years he’s brought recognition and credibility back to the actual radio airwaves, which I’d pretty much given up on. He was the face and voice of the station. I constantly heard him on the station and often wondered if he ever went home. Though I only met him a handful of times, he was always friendly and gracious. No pretention, just a well-rounded, nice guy. Read more »
