    Here is a photo shot from the loft seats in a great club we play here in town on occasion. The bar area in this restaurant-club boasts 10,000 sq. ft.
    If you have a good night at this place, it gets crazy.............lots of people, lots of dancing, selling lots of drinks.
    We are booked to return Saturday, February 13th...........Valentines bash.

    Thanks guys.
    It truly is a great venue..........our favorite place to play.
    Getting booked here is evidence that your band is doing things right.
    Plus we know the soundman very well and he loves us.......GOOD PA SYSTEM.
    He runs 6000 watts on the subs............the old bass drum sounds glorious.

    It almost looks like a place or two on Beale Street here in Memphis.

    The last place I went to that had some good music was Rum Boogie Cafe. Just don't eat the food.....it's horrible!

    Take Care!

    We play mostly 80s and 90s pop covers.............Joan Jett, Pretenders, Blondie, Mellencamp, Eagles, Fleetwood Mac...............the main criteria is that a song has to be FUN to be added to our set-list...........seems to be working.
    We just worked up NEVER BEEN ANY REASON -- an old '70s tune from HEAD EAST...............wow, it kixa$$.

    No Bee Gees -- No KC -- No Buffett -- No Marley.
    We do quality pop-rock and we heavy them up where needed.
    It works..........................very well.

    Tex & pkt...............thanks much.
    "Doing something right"..................sometimes that can be elusive in a band context. We knew at the first jam together that this had good potential.
    If we all were not so busy with job & family matters, it could be better...........but we make it work and the crowds love it.
    We usually get very good crowd-response............dancing, cheering.
    And the bars love the revenue.
