Yeah, I've been around that bar a bunch too (Alex is a friend of mine through his lead singer in Los Mysteriosos) and I know how the crowd can be. That's why I was so surprised that we got a pretty damn great reception. I kept hearing it from people as I was cruising around the place, either when I was loading my car up or grabbing a fresh drink at the bar...
Russ and his band came up to me and said how much they loved the show. That meant a ton, coming from a guy that I used to go PAY to see on Wed nights at the Doll Hut, back when Twisty was in the band and Linda owned the Hut.... I think Wayne might have caught the end of our set. They went back to their hotel after they loaded in.... They were super supportive too....

I agree about the mixing genres thing at shows. It makes the show so much more interesting. I really want to put together a show at the Purple Orchid with us, maybe a surf band, a rockabilly band, and/ or a country band. I think that would be really cool.

Again, I think the Alex's show went great. I'm stoked that the crowd was as receptive as they were.....even if some of them didn't know what to make of it.... That makes me even more stoked! ....broadenining horizons....
