The Hookers cancelled tonight! That sucked so bad, because Dave and I were dying to see them. We listen to their CD 24-7 and quote their lines all the time. Bummer. Anyway, I wasn’t quite sure who Family Sex Jackpot was but when they showed up I was pleasantly surprised. It’s the guitar player from Zeke (damn he’s good) and his band of obscenely heavy Sabbath style rock. Think Melvins, just heavier, gnarlier and better. Highly recommended. Fresh off their tour, Witch Throttlegush played with us too. Those guys seriously rock now. Our set was pretty good. The highlight for us was when we changed the lyrics of Feeding Time to “sha-sha-sha-ba.” This way we can give props to Shabba Ranks (the lover man) and also one of our friends and the nickname he hates so much. For those who understood it was terribly amusing for everyone else it was a bit bizarre. At least we couldn’t rhyme “Buttermilk Barry” … he hates than more than Shabba.
