Big BIG thanks to everyone who came out Friday night to party with us and the Gaffney family and raise a glass to a good friend we lost too soon - Brett Gaffney (AKA: BIG BAD 1975-2010). We got to party with some great bands, great friends, and at the end of the night had a grip of cash for the Gaffney's. Brett's brother, Jason, and Dan Kimbro started off the night with some hilarious and rippin acoustic jams and then LORD DYING tore Portland's face a new butthole with the heaviest metal this town has see in a loooong time. Seriously, these dudes are the real deal. I predict a complete takeover soon.. everyone will know this band!! Brett would have been stoked .. he woulda had his stoked face on, like this:
And when Big Bad was stoked, EVERYONE was stoked. Look at that face! How could you not crack up with that shit eating grin in front of you? And when Big Bad shredded - as he was known to do- everyone else shredded. Look at Jeremy in front of him trying to make babies with that Rickenbacker!
Brett, you were one of the best guitarists I've ever met and a fucking solid bro. I miss you and your stories of how some dickhead cut you off in traffic, or some idiot at your job fucked everything up and now you have to go back and do it all over again. I really do, brother.

Special thanks again to Chris and everyone at Plan B for hosting us and being so accommodating. You guys rule.

- Sherman

What We Did For Our Summer 2013 Summer Vacation: Part Duex.

Okay, where were we? Slayer. That’s right. So, after all the craziness that was the first couple weeks of the tour we finally settled into our digs for the rest of the tour and met our driver Jens: Things you should know about Jens: The man can drive his ass off. You don’t want to eat his hummus, or he will kill you. If you’re a promoter that ripped off another band he was working for who happens to be at the show he is at, you best find a ATM because he will shake your ass down for all that loot. (Did that make any sense? I don't care.) After a quick bro down with him, we made our way to Interlaken where following a night of hanging with some road homies and watching some Rammstein… Wait, I have to say something right now. I, like a lot of people out there, have never given a good goddamn about Rammstein. Never got the allure. But after watching them live—HOLY FUCKING SHIT! I couldn’t tell you what one of their songs sounds like but their stage show ...

What We Did For Our 2013 Summer Vacation: Part One

Hey there world, it’s been a while—over a year. I know that a lot of bad stuff has happened out there since my last post and I’m sorry, I did not realize that this blog was the delicate thread that held the world together. Now I know and I’m going to try my best to get back on the horse and start really blogging about the important issues that you, the world, crave. Such as the regularity of our farts, and whether or not Bryan’s socks look like a well steeped tea bag. Because then and only then will you, the world, be able to relax knowing all that is important is, once again, available with the click of a mouse and feel free to kick your collective feet up and tackle this whole North Korea thing. But you have to understand, maintaining this blog is not as easy as it used to be for me. You see, now that we are international rock stars with up to 100 people showing up at every show, my duties with the band have changed. In the olden days (back in the early 2010’s) the world was m...

It was brought to my attention here (scroll to comments) that last time we were in town I didn’t do enough blogging about Aaron’s long-time friend Chad Belfor. Actually I’m surprised there wasn’t more comments on this subject. The people need to know what is going on with Chad at all times. The man is the heartbeat of the city, if Chicago is a heart, he is the Aorta. You put your finger on him to see if the city is still alive. For those of you who don’t know him let me fill you in on the enigma, wrapped in a puzzle, that is Chad Belfor: The first thing you might notice is that Chad is a deep well of emotion, look at him: But Chad is much more complex than that. Chad is a man who wears many hats. Husband, PGA card holder, father, former NASCAR driver, musician, gold medal Olympic athlete… Some of these things could be used to describe him. It’s no wonder that confidence just oozes from his pores: You got to be careful though because after he knocks back a couple tall cold ones the wil...
