Man 2016 has been a bummer so far. First Lemmy then Bowie. Hard to sum up the impact those guys have had on me and millions of others. We're going to try to put together some sort of musical tribute to Motorhead at our(Godzilla Snacks) next show (Jan30th @Marcus). Inoue from Folk Enough has put together another festival April 29th at Utero. Probably about 17 bands in 12 hours, just like the last one. We had a blast at the last one.
Hopefully the band will have a second CD done, and I'll finish a solo CD finally in 2016. We'll see. It's probably going to be a busy year.
Holy fuck! The Utero show was a fucking blast. A lot of great bands and people there. I was blown away by Chainsaw TV, and Folk Enough was nice enough to play "Momma Shit" for me. There was even this piece of insanity I got to play bass for at the end of the night.
We're (Godzilla Snacks) starting with a new bassist (Nobuto) in November, for a potentially big show. Until then, next weekend, Oct 3rd, we'll be in Marcus Kurosaki as a two-piece: Godzilla Snacks Lite.
Again tons of thanks to Inuoe-san, who organized the event last week. 12 hours, 14 bands, and it was pulled off. Hope to do it again soon.
A busy summer, but I'm thankful I have anywhere to play considering my constant blowups about the situation here. Going to be back in Portland in August. Salvador reunion? A BIG maybe, but a maybe. I've been practicing. Godzilla Snacks has a show July 26th in Kurosaki, and we're going to play with Inoue from Folk Enough, who is putting on an all-day festival Sept 21st at Utero. Cheap and fun. Looking forward to it. Folk Enough has played with some great bands like Sebadoh. Also, I started playing bass in a band called "The MSGs". We played a show last month, you can check that out here:
Solo acoustic show coming up as well. Might play everything from Roky Erickson to Willie Nelson, and some originals I haven't recorded yet. Still experimenting with live streaming. So some of these shows might go live via the internet. We'll see. Can't wait to see everyone back in Portland!
