Denton: Heimishe capitol of the U.S.

Thanks to Dwayne and Mariel, (Denton's finest musician- writer- booker- extraordin- aires) Denton felt as heimishe as you can imagine. It's a SHONDE (the bad kind) that we couldn't stay longer! In any event, be sure to check out their band The Beatdown, who were sadly unable to play with us at Rubber Gloves. Although if any more bands had been added to the bill, we would have had to split the $4 profit even further. Yes, that's right - we were paid $4. Now, I'm the first person to want to assure that sound techs and other venue employees get paid, but this was intense. To be told "I'm sorry, we didn't make enough to cover expense," now that I can understand. But to be handed 4 dollar bills with an elaborate receipt? Quite something, right? Good thing the show was a blast and it's such a fun venue to play at.


Where the hell are we? After years in the Northeast and weeks traveling through the east coast and the South we entered the deserts of the southwest, and shit, how incredible they were. Upon departing Denton we headed off for New Mexico, stopping on the side of the road to take note of the flatness.

And I tried to run sound so I could pay you my sound man money (they usually let me). But no - they had someone scheduled to work and didn't want to switch.
