RED FANG

This was one hell of a weekend and there is a lot to cover to I’m going to keep it short and sweet in an attempt to not bore the living crap outta you. About three months ago our friend Luke from Kuma’s called up and wanted to know if the boys would be interested in playing the fifth annual Kuma’s birthday bash. A full day event of taking in all things rock, meat, and barley? Done. Flying to a show was a first for us and the rest of us were a little scared since John doesn’t do well on planes. The was a minute were we thought we might have to get all B.A. Baracus on his ass and slip him a roofie in his milk, but it turns out a couple cocktails in the airport bar set him straight. Carry picked us up at the airport and we rallied across town to catch up with J.J. who was so happy to see us he broke into Riverdance. Woke up the next morning, headed to Kuma’s and immediately dove head first into a burger. Look at that damn thing. You have to be part python just to get your mouth around it...

HO -LY SHIT! Those East End bros know how to throw a fucking PARTAY!!! They had the whole block of Ash St. between Grand & MLK blocked off for the whole day. They were grillin' up some juicy dogs, servin' up cold, delicious ice cream, and PLENTY of big ass cans of Tecate & Pabst. And, we got to rock out in the middle of the street to a bunch of raging PDX party hounds! Twas AWESOME!! And our pals, Lord Dying, shredded their way through their first show ever.. Watch out for these guys, they are gonna take the metal world on a fantastical trip. I mean, it's dudes from Le Force & Black Elk for chrissake!! Thanks to the East End crew and all the folks who showed up and made this July 4th one for the books.. I took a ton of photos, but most ended up even blurrier than the above crowd shot, but I saw tons of cameras there, so if anyone has some killer shots, let's see em! The night got a little blurry after the sun went down, but somewhere along the li...

I know it's been a week and half, and this post is long overdue.. but, better late than never, right? The Sunset Tavern 10 Year Anniversary show in Ballard was a total blowout!! Sold out raging crowd, awesome bands, old friends and new ones.. a perfect show in every way. Thanks, Ballard!! We will always love you! Before the show we headed over to KEXP to guest DJ with Hannah Levin on her Audioasis show. Normally, we get all shy and nervous when you put a mic in our face, but David kept it together like a seasoned pro, as you can see in this photo. Truly, a face made for radio. Thanks, Hannah, for letting us take over your playlist for an hour and crank out some bitchin' NW tunes from C Average , Federation X , etc.. let's do it again soon! OK, short and sweet-ish. I'll try to catch up with a July 4th post today too.. stay tuned. -Sherman
