Man, That Went By Quick
Hi everybody!
I don’t know what happned, the last couple of months BLEW by and it’s been forever since I posted anything here on hellbusters.net.
I can report the summer was really great Hellbusting… The highlights of Burning Girl, Taylorsville Solar Cookoff and the Reno-Tahoe Blues Fest are now behind us but we’ll never forget them. Playing music on a ranch by the Walker River… Hanging out with all the cool folks up at Taylorsville (especially getting to hang out with Guitar Shorty as well as all our old friends like Blue Haven and Whiskey Haulers and Rick Hammond), and then playing in front of a few thousand folks at Rancho for the RTBF (and also being on TV) were awesome.
The Cardboard Box City fundraiser was great too. We finally had good weather, and your friends the Hellbusters got contributions from all over the world (via PayPal) to play and stay all night. We continue to really enjoy this event and are proud to be part of it.
We have a couple of short-notice gigs coming up. We’re going to busk outside of the Reno Blues Society’s annual MASH bash this year so come see us on your way in or your way out. And I’m going to make a solo appearance (unless Jack can suddenly make it) at the Black Tangerine, a cool little venue way down in South Reno (behind the mobile home lot across from the Winco on South Virginia).
We have enough material written for nearly two records now. The plan was and sort of still remains to record the record this winter. We had selected a recording engineer and producer but the guy has moved out of town so looks like we’ll have to go on the road to get the thing tracked. We’ll keep you informed (hopefully more frequently than the last couple of months.)
Have a great Halloween (or as we call it here in Nevada, “Nevada Day”… Nevada entered the union on Oct. 31, 1864).
