OCTOBER 26, 2003
The wait is finally over. Yesterday, ABB2's "Autumn
Lee" single (with "With Body and Soul" as the B-side)
was finally completed, mixed, mastered, etc., courtesy of Shaven
Goat Production Company. In the coming weeks, expect a sound-clip
or two, as well as pre-order information (this single is, as of
now, to be available only on 7-inch vinyl).
OCTOBER 5, 2003
ABB2 is heading into the studio later this month to begin
recording a few new songs for an upcoming BLE release, which will
include the much-awaited "Autumn Lee." The recordings,
however, will be the first by ABB2 to be released on BLE that
have not been recorded at Black Label Studio; production will
be handled by the same group that worked on Tim Chad & Sherry's
"Rocket Tonite," also an ABB2 first.
SEPTEMBER 18, 2003
Well, the Fall mini-tour has come to a close, though not without
many, many memories (for a look, please visit the Download section,
where you can view photographs from the tour). The Dynamite Brothers
were pleasant chaps indeed, and we wish them only the best of
success on their thirty day tour.
ABB2 is currently planning more tour dates, and will be heading
into the studio very shortly to finish the "Autumn Lee"
single, not to mention additional recordings of two very new songs;
for more information, please stay-tuned.
SEPTEMBER 13, 2003
A mess of tour photographs from ABB2's Fall mini-tour have
been uploaded and can be viewed by clicking here. All the photographs
contain neat captions and stories (the camera was not functioning
in Cincinatti; hence, there are no pictures of Cincinatti).
SEPTEMBER 10, 2003
ABB2's Fall mini-tour is nearing a close, as the boys will
play the final leg of the tour at Springwater of Nashville on
Monday, September 15 with The Dynamite Brothers. Expect a tour
diary and a number of pictures from the tour to be uploaded shortly,
as there are many good portraits of excess and drunkenness.
In other news, there are a few t-shirts of all sizes, not to mention
compact discs, still available for purchase; also, there is a
new review in the Press section, courtesy of the Cincinnati CityBeat.
AUGUST 31, 2003
ABB2 will begin its Fall mini-tour on September 2 with a
stop at Nashville's Springwater. From there, the boys will all
get day jobs and start paying their rent again, but not before
playing the scheduled dates (click here for more information).
AUGUST 24, 2003
Commercialism is in full-swing, as t-shirts for both boys
and girls of all shapes and sizes are available for purchase in
the Order section, not to mention stickers; you know what to do.
AUGUST 19, 2003
Of the confirmed dates for ABB2's Fall mini-tour, four have
been added to the Tour section. More are still currently in the
planning stages and will be added as soon as possible. Regardless,
please click here to see if ABB2 is coming to your area.
JULY 28, 2003
ABB2 would like to thank all in attendance in Lexington,
Kentucky; the performance was a great success. More dates are
being planned, as ABB2 will be making a massive U.S. Fall tour
beginning in September (click here for more information); please
stay-tuned to the web-site and the Mailing List for all the latest
news and updates.
JULY 13, 2003
ABB2 would like to remind of the forthcoming performance
Tuesday at Guido's New York Pizzeria with Masa and Rock City Machine.
On Thursday, the boys will head to Lexington and join
Dave Cloud & the Gospel of Power and Lone Official
for an unparalleled performance at High On Rose; do come if you
are able. For more information, please visit the Tour section.
JUNE 27, 2003
A couple of new performances have been added to the Tour section,
as ABB2 will be performing in Nashville very shortly with Masa,
not to mention Lexington, Kentucky; more tour dates are to be
announced soon.
JUNE 23, 2003
A review of ABB2's "Missionary Ridge," courtesy
of Sponic Zine, has been added to the Press section; do enjoy
it so. In the meantime, stay-tuned to the web-site for
information concerning ABB2's forthcoming "Autumn Lee"
disc, which is to be released before year's end.
JUNE 20, 2003
Last December's feature article from The Tennessean has been
uploaded under the Press section; look for it on other BLE sites
shortly.
JUNE 17, 2003
Welcome to the newly-revised home of ABB2, courtesy of Black
Label Empire and Los Studios de Fairfax. You may notice that this
new site is much easier to navigate, not to mention pretty. All
you have to do, as Kiki would say, is "smack that ass."
Regardless, a few sections are still under construction, but there
are new photographs in the Download section, not to mention audio
files.
JUNE 14, 2003
Many apologies are in order concerning the lack of updates to
the ABB2 web-site. A new site is currently in production, as
this site is a terrible monster to update.
Regardless, ABB2 has been busy performing and recording new songs,
such as "Autumn Lee" and "So Glad You're Mine."
There has been talk of a possible 7-inch single release for these
two songs ("Autumn Lee" is the definite A-side, though
the B-side is still undetermined); there will also be a video
to coincide with the release of "Autumn Lee," courtesy
of Amp It Up! Limited Productions.
MAY 1, 2003
A few new performances have been added to the "Schedule"
section.
MARCH 30, 2003
ABB2 has experienced a change in its touring format. New musicians
have been recruited to handle drums, bass and electric lead guitar;
Forresstt, Jane and Bodean will continue on the keys, percussion
and rhythm guitar, respectively. The performance at The Southgate
House was the first to utilize this new lineup.
In other news, BLE has decided to release a new ABB2 LP sometime
in the very near future. The disc is to feature two new recordings
along with a collection of previously unreleased recordings. Please
stay-tuned for more information.
MARCH 2, 2003
BLE is currently discussing a possible vinyl release of ABB2's
"Missionary Ridge" and "Rock and Roll for Fun"
in 7-inch single form. The tracks have already been remixed so
as to allow for a vinyl release, though the subject is still only
an idea. For more information or to include your two cents, please
click here.
In other news, ABB2 wishes to apologize for the cancellation
last week at the Slow Bar. Regardless, the evening was a fun one,
courtesy of Fun'iki and The What Four. The March 15 showing with
The American Static and Altered Statesman is next.
JANUARY 18, 2003
ABB2's "Missionary Ridge" EP is to be remastered this
week, so as to allow for greater sonic clarity. Those that have
obtained copies from the first pressing will be glad to know that
BLE has decided to offer a special upgrade at no cost whatsoever.
Presumably, the label will be in contact with all persons on file
that have placed an order and will ship the new version as soon
as it is available.
Regardless, the title track "Missionary Ridge" is still
available for download by clicking here; the stereo versions of
"Rock and Roll for Fun" and "A Dream in Blue"
will be available for download shortly.
DECEMBER 21, 2002
ABB2's "Missionary Ridge" EP was released as scheduled
last Tuesday. Certainly, the title track portrays the group's
new sonic direction, as does Kiki's "Rock and Roll for Fun,"
which was tracked live at Nashville's Springwater with overdubs
at Hendersonville's Black Label Studio. Later this week, however,
BLE will release the title track in MP3 format, to be followed
by "Rock and Roll Fun" and "A Dream in Blue";
"Eight Bars of E" and the bonus material will only be
available by purchasing the new EP.
For more information or to order the "Missionary Ridge"
EP, please click here.
DECEMBER 14, 2002
BLE would like to thank all in attendance last Saturday at Blue
Sky Court.
In other news, a sound file or two will be posted on Tuesday to
coincide with the release of "Missionary Ridge," presumably
"Missionary Ridge" and "A Dream in Blue,"
though not necessarily. At this time, it is not certain whether
or not the entire EP will be made available for download. Regardless,
the entire EP can be purchased by clicking here.
NOVEMBER 29, 2002
The "Missionary Ridge" EP is nearing completion and
will arrive as expected on December 17. The track listing has
been revised and will include both stereo and mono versions of
the four new recordings (to view the new track listing, please
click here).
Originally, BLE had intended to include a few "bonus"
tracks of previously unreleased material; however, due to the
stereo/mono revision, the bonus material may not be included if
$4.99 is to be the EP's cost.
Anyone interested in the bonus material may, however, e-mail BLE
by clicking here and requesting that the unreleased tracks be
released (no profanity, please). If there are enough requests,
the bonus material may be included; if not, the unreleased recordings
will more than likely be submitted for the Christmas Fan Club
disc to be released on December 27.
In other news, ABB2 will be performing at Blue Sky Court on December
7 with Tim Chad & Sherry and Good People; please see the "Schedule"
section for more information.
NOVEMBER 11, 2002
Last weekend's Springwater show was a first for all involved,
including the bartender. Being that The Good Gospel Truth cancelled,
ABB2 instead chose to multi-track onstage. Recorded that evening
was Kiki's "Rock and Roll for Fun"; it is expected that
this version will make some sort of an appearance on the forthcoming
"Missionary Ridge" EP. Please stay tuned for more information.
In other news, ABB2 will be performing in Ohio again on Saturday,
November 23. Please visit the "Schedule" section for
more information.
OCTOBER 29, 2002
Fellow BLE artist The Good Gospel Truth has invited ABB2 to perform
with them on Friday at Nashville's Springwater. Please see the
"Schedule" section for more information concerning this
first pairing ever with The Good Gospel Truth.
OCTOBER 26, 2002
BLE has finally released the track listing for ABB2's "Missionary
Ridge" EP to be released on December 17; the listing for
the "Greatest Hits" LP will not be confirmed until the
"Missionary Ridge" EP has been recorded. To view the
track listing, please click here.
In other news, BLE is intending to have ABB2 performing in another
of its "Variety Show" sometime in December to celebrate
the new release. When more information becomes available on this
matter, it will posted accordingly.
OCTOBER 13, 2002
The proposed artwork for the forthcoming EP "Missionary Ridge"
was completed last evening at Los Studios de Fairfax. Although
the track listing has not yet been confirmed, BLE artists took
liberties so that the following mock-up could be viewed for your
viewing pleasure. To view the artwork, please click here.
OCTOBER 12, 2002
There have been some changes made to ABB2's forthcoming LP, currently
entitled "Greatest Hits." Instead of releasing an entire
LP in January, BLE has decided to release a four song EP on December
17 entitled "Missionary Ridge" (the track listing has
yet to be released). By doing this, ABB2 will have a Christmas
release to coincide with other BLE artists.
In January, however, BLE will release the entire LP as planned
(entitled "Greatest Hits"), thereby discontinuing the
"Missionary Ridge" EP (the EP will be made available
for pre-order shortly).
SEPTEMBER 28, 2002
The Fall mini-tour is over; many problems were encountered along
the way. For instance, the NYPD decided that BLE had no business
in Brooklyn and sought to end The Happy Robot showing after bottles
of beer were hurled at police officers from various buildings
rooftops. However, BLE was not held responsible for this, as it
was busy making musical noise inside (the performances were cut
short).
In other news, ABB2 is hard at work in the studio recording its
forthcoming LP "Greatest Hits."
SEPTEMBER 15, 2002
Friday's performance at The End was another great rock showing
from ABB2. Instead of the usual "Eye of the Tiger"
cover, ABB2 chose this time to wail on Billy Joel's "Movin'
Out (Anthony's Song)." Likewise, the "BLE Variety Show"
featured a stellar performance from Tim Chad & Sherry, not
to mention Communist.
In other news, ABB2, along with Tim Chad & Sherry, Communist,
Front Row for the Meltdown and DJ Viper set sail for Canal Street
Tavern of Dayton, Ohio on Wednesday, September 18.
SEPTEMBER 9, 2002
A reminder that Friday, September 13 will feature ABB2 in another
BLE "Variety Show" at The End of Nashville, also with
performances by Tim Chad & Sherry and Communist. Doors will
open at 10:00 PM with a cover charge of $5.00 per person; please
see the "Schedule" section for more information.
The webmaster is still currently awaiting the track listing for
ABB2's forthcoming LP "Greatest Hits," scheduled for
release sometime in January 2003.
SEPTEMBER 2, 2002
The track listing for ABB2's forthcoming LP "Greatest Hits"
has been confirmed and will be posted on this site shortly under
the "Discography" section, probably within the next
few days (legal issues must first be cleared before the listing
can be posted).
In other news, ABB2 has begun work on a handful of new cover
songs for the upcoming performances; most notably, Jane will soon
be making her debut lead vocal performance on stage with one of
these covers.
AUGUST 23, 2002
Alas, the much improved web-site has arrived. The new site is
a breeze to use; the squares above to the right shall be your
navigation tools (this new site is indeed intensive, so please
allow time to load on slower connections).
Much like the old site, the sections are organzied by importance.
There have been updates to the "Sound" and "Images"
section, both featuring clips and pics from this summer's world
tour. As always, have fun surfing.
AUGUST 11, 2002
Friday's "BLE Variety" show at The End was a success.
With regards to Communist and ABB2, not to mention the other
bands, BLE packed the place out in typical rock fashion; even
"Porky" was pleased, though Bruce could not be reached
for his comments. The dueling Ninjas did surprisingly well, as
did the BLE camera crew. Yet, the after party at BLE Midtown lasted
well into the morning, thanks to the generous, giving nature of
one Patti Korgan and Andy Bodean.
AUGUST 2, 2002
The tour continues, as ABB2 will again be performing with Communist
on Friday, August 9 at The End. No word yet as to whether or not
the Ninjas will be present, but all assumptions point to yes.
Regardless, there will be a very special guest performance by
a very special guest; please see the "Schedule" section
for more information.
JULY 19, 2002
On Saturday, July 27, ABB2 will be joining Communist at the Old
Time Picking Parlor for what is being referred to as the "BLE
Variety Show"; the performances are to feature a number of
surprises and exploits. If any of you have been wondering what
you missed during the world tour, now is your chance to find out
(please visit the "Schedule" section for more information).
JULY 12, 2002
The world tour is finally at an end, but not without unnecessary
drama and trauma. To begin with, the BLE "Vanwagon"
lost its alternator an hour and a half outside of Nashville. Fortunately,
no one was injured, although a Tennessee State Trooper had to
brave the harsh, wet rains while tapping the glass as your boys
and girls waited for a tow. Nevertheless, The Happy Robot and
its "hoopers" were most accommodating during the stay
in Brooklyn; THR, we thank thee (THR will also be thrilled to
know that the "Hula Hoop" theme song is well in the
works and will be arriving soon). As promised earlier, there will
be many updates to the web-site forthcoming, including photos,
videos, sound clips and various other documentation or stories
from both England and the United States (hence, please stay tuned).
Yet, for those of you taking part in the "hatred" on
the "Message Board," please note that the BLE, ABB2
and Communist do not endorse any such activity and shall not be
held responsible for any wrongdoings therein.
JUNE 22, 2002
Good it is to again be home in Tennessee, though not for long,
as Detroit and the rest of the eastern seaboard beckon for the
magical sounds of ABB2. This week will see your boys and girls
for many long hours inside at rehearsal; the upcoming performances
are, reportedly, to be unlike anything ABB2 have ever done before,
as Communist comes along to rock the East to its bloody death.
For those of you that missed the United Kingdom performances,
we apologize; certainly, it was unlike anything you've ever seen
or heard, but such is what happens when you don't give a damn
for the better of rock and roll (BNA=666). We will, however, have
pictures, sound clips and video footage from the performances
for you to download very soon.
JUNE 9, 2002
Merry ole England, here we come! Speaking of "merry,"
yesterday's Pride Fest was quite lovely. Unfortunately, someone
in charge felt ABB2's set needed to be cut; thus, your boys and
girls only managed to play 10 minutes or less. Dear Jane, however,
made sure to expand the mailing list as Kiki and Bodean were treated
to an endless supply of complimentary draft brew; regardless,
we'll see you in Detroit on the 29th.
JUNE 7, 2002
Good People will not be supporting ABB2 on this summer's tour,
for they have canceled; Communist, however, has confirmed that
it will go in Good People's absence (Communist, as you will remember,
is another BLE artist).
JUNE 3, 2002
ABB2 would like to thank the callers that "phoned-in"
last evening and won a copy of "Best When Played Loud."
Unfortunately, ABB2 were not able to autograph the CDs, as one
caller so nicely requested. However, if you make yourself known,
the boys and girls will be happy to send you an autographed publicity
photo.
JUNE 2, 2002
Although it rained, Bowling Green was fun, as was New York City.
Cox, Kiki, Bodean and Jane returned yesterday very tired and very
poor. They were able to distribute an outstanding number of advertisements
(nine, to be exact) during their promotional visit. Please remember
to tune in at 10:00 PM this evening on 102.9 FM, as ABB2 are
to be interviewed on the "Local Buzz" with Natalie,
the "Token Rock Chick." Supposedly, there are a number
of copies of "Best When Played Loud" available to certain
telephone callers.
MAY 22, 2002
The "Schedule" section has been updated to include a
slew of new dates; please visit the section in order to see what
you'll be missing. Also, I, the Webmaster, would like to know
what new sounds you'd like to hear from ABB2: demos or live tracks
(please visit the "Contact" section to let me know)?
MAY 19, 2002
The world knows not what it missed last night at The End; dear
Communist and Good People rocked harder than a rock, like all
good rock bands should. Your very own Kiki amazed the crowd with
his amazing synthesizer and drinking skills. Please remember to
visit dear Kiki and the rest of the boys and girls at Tidball's
of Bowling Green next Saturday. Being that ABB2 will be away
for a while with promotional trips to New York and London, etc.,
I, the Webmaster, will have a few new sounds for you to download
over the coming months.
MAY 15, 2002
Should any of you squares wish to see a good, quality rock and
roll show that features the approval of ABB2, head over to The
End Saturday night (May 18) to witness the magic that is Communist
(another BLE artist). Also performing that evening are Masa and
Good People (Good People will be joining ABB2 in New York City
later this summer, by the wayside); rumor has it that Kiki will
be making a surprise "guest" appearance with Communist
Saturday evening.
MAY 10, 2002
As stated yesterday, Kiki has acquired a new synthesizer: the
Korg MS2000 Analog Synthesizer, featuring 128 built-in sound programs
and a MIDI-syncable arpeggiator; simply put, it makes strange
little noises that will rock your socks off. As always, please
click above to request more ABB2 on 102.9 FM.
MAY 8, 2002
Kiki has announced that he plans to acquire a new synthesizer
today for use during performances and the making of records (Bodean
is a wee bit troubled, as he knows not his reason for not speaking
up when the opportunity presents itself, and for this he is regretful).
ABB2 has been invited to partake in an interview on 102.9's "The
Local Buzz" and would like for you to keep the requests flowing
by clicking above; conversely, the band will be in the studio
this evening in rehearsal at 7:00 PM, so please, no phone calls,
unless it is an emergency or you are in need of sending money.
MAY 6, 2002
We wish to thank the two people in attendance yesterday at the
Old Time Picking Parlor (Friar and Liza, we thank thee); such
is the course of an afternoon performance on Cinco de Mayo. We
also wish to thank the many people that have requested ABB2 on
the radio; however, Kiki's feelings have been hurt because you
haven't requested his song (he's very jealous, you know).
APRIL 29, 2002
A message board has now been added to the site; please visit the
"Message Board" section to begin your raving and slandering.
Also, the "Compositions" section has been revised to
include all eight tracks from "Best When Played Loud"
and then some. If you were listening, you would have heard ABB2
on 102.9's "The Local Buzz" last evening; we were unaware
of this occurence, so if anyone knows what was aired, please let
us know or click above to contact the radio station and request
more.
APRIL 28, 2002
Please accept our sincerest apologies for not updating the site
this past week, as it has been extremely hectic of late, to say
the least. To begin with, Thursday's show at the Boro went quite
well, although Spidervirus managed to cancel and/or disband at
the last minute; hopefully, they'll have things worked out soon
and will be able to perform with ABB2 again. In their absence,
Laws Rushing performed, along with Baby Stout, the evening's headliner.
Last Sunday saw ABB2 at the Old Time Picking Parlor for the Middleman
Music showcase, and, although your boys and girls did not sign
any contracts, they nevertheless managed to please the crowd,
or so we're told. Speaking of the Parlor, last evening's performance
with De Novo Dahl and Idlepage was a mediocre success that lasted
well into the wee hours of the morn, courtesy of the good people
at Circle K (Abraham, Martin & John were unable to attend,
but are planning to reschedule their performance sometime in the
near future). A reminder that next Sunday will feature ABB2 at
the "Cinco de Mayo Celebration" at the Parlor with a
slew of Middleman's best; please be sure and attend, as it will
be a rather long while before ABB2 are to play Nashville again
(please check the "Schedule" section for more information
on the May 5 performance, or for learning more about other forthcoming
performances).
APRIL 21, 2002
A good time was to be had by all last evening in Bowling Green.
ABB2 would like to thank Dr. Dook and the good people of Tidball's
for doing their job. If you're wondering, Faqui wasn't able to
make the trip, Bodean broke a string during the first song, Jane
was sleepy, Kiki drank too much and Miami stole someone's car
keys (don't ask me why). ABB2 performed ten or eleven numbers
from their usual repertoire, which were all quite good, though
Bodean couldn't seem to manage Elk's Les Paul very well. Thus,
we'll see you all in Hell on Thursday at The Boro Bar & Grill
with Baby Stout and Spidervirus.
APRIL 16, 2002
The "Photography" section has been updated to include
photographs from the infamous lost weekend in Omaha, Nebraska
with Drivin' Blind.
APRIL 15, 2002
Uploaded today were four sound clips from last Thursday's radio
slot; these clips can be found under the "Memorabilia"
section and are well worth the listening experience if you're
bored out of your mind or just plain drunk.
APRIL 14, 2002
Billarabi came dressed to impress and gave Nashville a show that
will not be forgotten. Tee (not "Tea," as we had previously
thought) rocked the doors off the Parlor; without a doubt, this
was Tee's best performance to date. Bodean wishes to thank Tee
for allowing him to borrow their guitar, as he, in typical Bodean
fashion, broke a string before ABB2 ever took the stage. This
week will see new sounds uploaded to the site from last Thursday's
radio slot, so please stay tuned.
APRIL 10, 2002
Many thanks go out to all of you who attended the performance
last evening at Wolfy's. Unfortunately, Miami was unable to attend,
yet Brian Kotzur of Good People saved the day by making an impromptu
appearance on drums. Please be sure and attend the performance
Saturday at the Old Time Picking Parlor; Tee will open the show
at 8:00 PM and will be followed by ABB2 at 9:00 PM. At 10:00
PM, Billarabi will take the stage; everyone is needed to show
Billarabi a good time, as they will be opening up for Bush this
summer and none of us wish to be outdone by Bush, now do we?
APRIL 9, 2002
Due to your thoughts, prayers and/or seances, ABB2 have safely
returned home from Nebraska. The 23 hour round-trip was certainly
demanding, but proved worth it once your boys and girls took the
stage Saturday night at the 49 R. Much "partying" took
place in the hotel room (one or two complaints were filed at the
front office); Miami awoke Saturday afternoon without his underwear,
Kiki did not shower the entire weekend, Bodean slept in anger
in the van and lost his trademark sunglasses, Faqui missed his
opportunity to "frim-frim," while Jane slept peacefully
for 13 continuous hours (many photographs were taken and will
be posted soon). Please be sure to drop by Tuesday at Wolfy's,
as ABB2 will be taking the stage with Tee starting at 8:00 PM;
be there and B2, for the drinks are cheap and the cover is non-existent.
APRIL 5, 2002
ABB2 have left for Nebraska to join Drivin' Blind at the 49 R.
Making the pilgrimage also is Faqui Shaarie, ABB2's self-proclaimed
"roadie" and head of security. The event appears to
be a good one, though matters could change at any given moment.
Please keep the boys and girls in your thoughts, prayers and/or
seances.
APRIL 4, 2002
The performance last evening at Sebastian's was not the best of
"gigs" thus far; Good People were unable to attend as
a band member's grandfather passed away. Our condolences go out
to Good People and we wish them a happy return to the rock and
roll nightmare. They are to perform with ABB2 again in the very
near future. Moreover, ABB2 will never play Sebastian's again,
and it is recommended that all bands and artists avoid the venue
at whatever the cost ($7.00 seems to be the going rate).
MARCH 30, 2002
ABB2 are currently rehearsing "The Girl from Ipanema"
and "I'm So Lonely" to be performed Wednesday, April
3 at Sebastian's with Good People. Please visit the "Schedule"
section for more information.
MARCH 25, 2002
The "Biography" and "Photography" sections
were completed and uploaded today, as per the design intructions
from Los Studios de Fairfax. Please visit the pages and tell whomever
it concerns what it is you think thereof (like that, Mr. Peterman?).
MARCH 22, 2002
Bodean and Forresstt are to work with Matt X this evening at Los
Studios de Fairfax on the Abraham, Martin & John project.
Please check back soon for an update on their progress, if you
feel so inclined.
MARCH 20, 2002
The Springwater show yielded quite a nice turnout, despite the
inclement weather. Tee, the supporting act that opened for ABB2,
ran into difficulty as their bass player was contained and questioned
by Metro police prior to their scheduled 9:30 start time. In the
end, however, the delinquent bass player was released and put
on one hell of a show. Moreover, Tee expressed interest in performing
with ABB2 again in the near future.
MARCH 18, 2002
A reminder that tomorrow night will feature ABB2 at Springwater
in Nashville beginning at 9:30 PM. According to club management,
there will be no cover charge, so all are encouraged to drink
and attend. A supporting act has not yet been determined, although
negotiations are currently being made.
MARCH 17, 2002
Saturday's performance at the Old Time Picking Parlor with Drivin'

Last evening's benefit performance at Sebastian's was a success;
a tremendous donation will be made to the JUNIOR ACHIEVERS, despite
the fact that Kiki and Miami were busted in an attempt to sneak
"Goldschlager" into the venue. A reminder that Saturday
night will feature your "boys and girls" along side
Drivin' Blind from Nebraska at the Old Time Picking Parlor in
Nashville; please be a good drunk and come forth, as it's all
free and dandy.
