KPFT Radio Interview, Pt. 3

This is the final segment of our live appearance on KPFT Radio in Houston on May 14, 2010. We played one our new songs, Let It Flow, and talked a bit about the songwriting process. RadioActive airs Fridays from 1 p.m. – 3 p.m. on KPFT 90.1 in Houston. It’s a great show that promotes local, regional and national acts who get little or no airplay on commercial radio.

Don’t forget to come check us out on Friday, Aug. 6 at Bohemeo’s, 708 Telephone Road, in southeast Houston. Great little place owned by our friends Lupe and Sid Olivarez. We will be giving away free copies of our first CD, Another Lame Semi-Tragedy.

New song preview! “Last Night of My Life”

We’ve been working on new material for a while now and hope to have some available, at least online, by the end of the year. “Last Night of My Life” is a tune about loneliness, regret and reaching for people who are gone forever. We originally recorded it as a full-out rocker in the same vein as Bruce Springsteen’s “No Surrender,” but decided, because of the sadness in the lyrics, that it just didn’t work that way.

I played the tune a few weeks ago at Bohemeo’s in Houston and this is close to the way you’ll here it when it’s finished. Enjoy my friends!

KPFT Radio Interview, Pt. 2

In part 2 of our interview on KPFT Radio in Houston, we play “Father’s Day,” a track off of our first CD, Another Lame Semi-Tragedy. Enjoy!

Gig Alert! Aug. 6 – Bohemeo’s (early show/free CD giveaway)

Like Quagmire says on “Family Guy,” we are gigity-gigity gigging again. Friday, Aug. 6 we will be rockin’ Bohemeo’s, 708 Telephone Road, inside Tlaquepaque Market, in Southeast Houston. This is a great small venue owned by our good friends Lupe and Sid Olivarez. If you’ve never been there before, it’s an excellent place to eat and see a band. We are playing the early set at 8:45. Pete Simple is the closer.

We will be handing out copies of our first CD, Another Lame Semi-Tragedy, to everyone who wants one. We will also have t-shirts and our second CD, Come and Take It, on sale for you to purchase as well.

Jeff joined me at Bohemeo’s on July 3 for a version of one of our new tunes, “Time Is My Enemy.” Enjoy. We hope to see you at the show. Keep rockin’.

Jeff and George play “Someone Came To Help Me” at LifeGift event

Jeff and I were asked to play our new song Someone Came To Help Me by the folks at LifeGift of Houston. The group was celebrating it’s second annual “Donate Life Month” event. The rain held off long enough for us to do the song for transplant patients, donor families and other dignitaries who gathered at the Texas Medical Center (TMC) Commons. Tomorrow (Friday, April 16) George and Chris will do the same thing for a similar event sponsored by The Methodist Hospital Transplant Center.

The full-band track is available on iTunes, Rhapsody and other various digital download sites.

“Run Towards the Warmth of the Sun” video

This video was put together by Chris a couple of years ago. It features our first drummer, Leesa Harrington, who is currently the drummer for Lez Zeppelin, and former violinist, Amy Price. This is the first track off our first disc, Another Lame Semi-Tragedy, which is available on iTunes. Enjoy.

“The First Single”

As we begin to record a new CD, we are looking for the “breakout” hit. The song that will send us into the stratosphere of wine, women and financial bliss. While we’ve written 10 good ones, I think this tune from the 1970s is going to be the tune that will finally get us some “groupie love” like my boy “Fitty Cent” say. Imagine this colorful tune on your iPod and let us know what you think.
