rileykill Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Well... Long ago and far away... OK...1977 East Texas. I was a senior in High School. Not quite desolate, but Picture The Dukes of Hazard meets Deliverance. Oh my God ... I thought I was the only person on the planet who would openly admit to being raised in East Texas. DOH meets Deliverance is right! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Somnambulist Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 In high school I played in a few different bands. One gig we had was at some kid's house on a random Friday night. We played the typical Steve Miller Band, Grateful Dead, Beastie Boys, Jimi Hendrix tunes. We were not very good but could hold together for a few songs. After one of our breaks, these kids come up to us and ask, "we play in a band too, could we give your instruments a try?" What the hell, we had just put the place to sleep with our version of The Joker. So, these kids get up, tune up a little then break into a note perfect rendition of Hot for Teacher. Needless to say, we pack our gear up soon after and never played another gig. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
giraffo Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I'm the short guy. There's a few funny stories about this band, like starting because of our High School's Battle of the Bands [this was like last April, May] getting about 4 weeks of practice and placing second, beating out a group of jazz kids doing incredible versions of originals and Lady Madonna. Then, we played at some parties and stuff, and entered a second battle of the bands and placing dead last against a lot of the same group. Oh Well! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
