:D
:D



I did both of those gigs at the same club. I'm convinced we were asked to do them because my band at the time was a trio and took up very little space on stage.

Was in a band called Overstreet in the Boston area in the 90's......opened up for the tubes one night ( after fee waybill left they had some other singer )....

we also opened up for The Guess Who...........they were on some sort of reunion or farwell tour.............I forget which.......

Both shows were packed.

Also was in a band called Viper in the 80's..............we played with till tuesday a few times ( before they almost made it )....

That must have been coool. They are one of my favorites.



The venue was a 5000 seat natural ampitheatre. It was a great venue and a previous Tea Party show was one of the best I've seen but this night we'd been on a month-long tour and didn't sleep in an effort to travel back across the country to do The Tea Party and we played like {censored}.

Some very impressive lists here and a thread like this brings out the lurkers.

Then I moved to Austin, I played with a rapper called Overlord. We used to open for Coolio, and Kid Rock. We also did some shows with Run DMC and KRS One, who is IMO, the black version of Elvis. Patrice from RockStar sat in with us a lot.

 

 

Hahaha, Overlord was the RA on the floor above me in my dorm during my freshman year at UT (1988). Damn, that guy was no freakin fun at all, and would bust anyone for anything (myself included, many times). Eventually got friendly with him though, we'd joke and call him MC Overhammer. It was kind of cool to see him progress musically, at first he was pretty awful, or to quote KRS One...he was "whick whick whack...whick whack."

My old band was booked with GWAR once...it was up on the marquee and everything....turned out to be a mistake and they switched our gig dates before the show. :(

thats about as good as it gets for me at the moment.

hopefully that will soon change :D

Are those guys still playing? We played on the same bill as one of their side projects, Ghost Buffalo. That was cool...

 

My current band has only been around a few months, but I just heard today that we'll be playing after Dressy Bessy later this month. The Plus Ones are on the bill too...

 

An old incarnation of this band opened for Patrick Swayze's band when we were in high school. We didn't even know who he was...(whoops)
