   Well, I finally got out of the dreadful guitar gig with singer/songwriter Natalie Zoe.

   She fired me (and very angrily, too) for opting out of a free happy hour gig and instead driving to Houston to rehearse with my old punk band Bark Hard for a big show w/Angry Samoans.

   So then I got to Houston, and found out that BH drummer Scott had 'injured' himself and wasn't able to do the gig. So, we rented a drumset and started rehearsing -with me on drums.

   I hadn't played a drumset in 7 years, at least not for more than two minutes, and just goofing around at that.

   So we worked for about 6 hours, i got my chops back into decent shape, and we did the gig. It went real well, only...now I'm the drummer in Bark Hard-yep, I got fired from my guitar spot in that band.

   Fired twice in one day!

   Yes, the rams are still going...playing San Antonio tonight, played here in town at some 'hot' club, good crowd, funny kind of scene...

   We ain't been fired from our Monday night thing, and the rest of the week is always pretty full. Next week we have another three gigs-Monday, Wed (at another one of them 'hot' new bars) and Sat at another KAOS radio thing.

   So that's been going along.

   Soukous band is still working every week, as the weeks go by we've been recording ourselves with just the one mic, I'm fixin' to start doing our first multi track stuff maybe starting this Sunday...

   ...and Bark Hard has a gig in Florida in May '08. Some punk festival. So I better start practicing the drums.

   San Antonio last weekend was pretty god, played in a little dive called "JIggers" which I'd never heard of. SA is kinda weird-it's a HUGE city with a tiny underground rock scene. very Metal oriented, SA probably has the highest rate of displaced metal guitarists doing time in bands playing other styles. So we played with a roots rock band that featured a metal guitarist! Great! Nothing like some old-time rock and roll complete with Van Halen style shred solos!

   But another really cool band we played with was Austin's SEDIUM-these guys are really cool, kinda hard to classify:

   Check 'em out and see what you think. Tell 'em BT sent ya!

   that's true man. i think also, that if i would play drums, i wouldn't have to go to yoga or sauna or even weightlifting. i mean playing drums is a good workout. i recommend it for everyone in this community.

   ok steinn i'll do it. i'll pull a TR. i think we're ready to make another album. i'll let you take care of the mixing, i'll send you the projects. I've also been thinking about doing a project here on the community. It is well possible to make Death & Resurrection available as Live Projects for remixing. That way we could make a remix album, with all the members contributing.
