Next time we do a gig remind me to get there a little earlier...so i can mount the lights properly in front of the cameras and not in the back ! Notice how this set up really ..messes with the video footage(this is a clip from a Zoom Q3 hd) ...but regardless the gig was great..we had a fun show....one of the very last in South Texas for a while..as Texas Joe is planning on moving the whole operation to Austin Texas very soon summer of 2012.
Sparkys Cafe was good in that all 3 brothers finnally played together...as a band...live!!! we had not done this since August 2011..so much bullshit gets in the way and life's little ...curve balls...but it was great...to be able to play live..again as a 3 brother band...there are 2 videos from this gig up on You Tube if you wanna see them...
both songs had thier 1st time airing out live last night May 5th 2012 ..
they are
1. Hey Spacebiker
2. Flowers in Her Hair (June Bug Blu-Ooze)
Hey Spacebiker like we said is inspired by Easy Rider the 1969 biker /chopper movie...incidently Yesterday I was watching a cable t.v. show at a friends house..and ..the number one biker /motorcycle icon in the world...has been identified as The Harley ..called ....Captain America...Peter Fonda ..rode in the movie
see pictures of the beautiful Harley with Texas Joe in a blog lower down this page !!!
Flowers in Her Hair (June Bug Blu-Ooze) is a Brazilian style rocker...for the album Landing Amongst The Giant Mushrooms...about..a festival ..the people have after thier 1st harvest on thier new home planet.....
both songs have lyrics....both will be finished soon !!
anyway we were happy to have played together last night as Noe Valles little boy Jackie saw us play live for the 1st time in his little baby life..!! so that was worth it ...big time !!! the crazy psych looking picture is the only pic we got of the gig with the full band.everybody was in top form Eloy ,Noe & Texas Joe ..but go to You Tube and enjoy the videos....type in on You Tube...
