Man! Last night’s DROWNING POOL show was b’dass!!! The DP guys were really cool to hang out with before the show while CJ was giving his guitar lessons for our Get Schooled series with Guitar Center. I was talking geek with Stevie being a fellow bassist! And, of course, I brought my DP autographed soldier helmet and took a pic with the band boasting it proudly upon my twisted head!  Check out the pic below!

Oh, let’s not forget the incredible opening acts including locals 7TH DAY STRANGER from Clemson and UNCROWNED from ATL! And, surprisingly, EGYPT CENTRAL was also on the bill so I got to catch them perform their song “You Make Me Sick” - and if ya missed it, their doing it again tonight at the Handlebar with HIGHER GROUND, the RHCP tribute band!

Of course, topping the night off was the mighty DROWNING POOL themselves playing all their killer jams from all three albums: “Sinner”, “Tear Away”, “Step Up”, “Soldiers”, “Enemy” and, the grand finale, “Bodies”! They also did their version of BILLY IDOL’s “Rebel Yell” not to mention a provocative portion of VAN HALEN’s “Panama”!

I can say no more except that I love my job!!!
