Your face makes my fist itch.
-New song untitled.
-And yet I find repeating in my head…..
A.I.C
Only I could get a chemical burn on my ass before we played our 1st show.I swore that I was not gonna talk about in on stage so of course I did…Meh. A long a painful story involving my butt,baby puke and industrial chemicals.
Nasty and most un-rock.
I like to think that Ozzy could at least relate but I doubt it…..
YEY!!
We played and it was goooooooood.
I knew that we were gonna have a good show cause Canada WAILED in the hockey and I think that the locals were most impressed when I dedicated a song to the team,It was a fucking amazing game but I digress.[The finals are on tuesday….]
We roll up to this awsome little bar dowtown called “The barfly”.It was like Cheers and to set it up for y’all back home it was about half the size of 77 back in the day.Which led me into the mosh pit and doing my Metal Sinatra to the people sitting down.Sweet.
It was great watching the way that people reacted to us.Cue many jaws dropping.Converted a whole bunch of sikfuks.The opening band Chaisuga did an AIC cover that made me melt right into my stinky converse.[Nutshell,fact feinds] Halo headlined and we were in the middle.By the time Halo went on stage,Scott the lead singer had a tourettes sticker stuck on his forehead.And the rest of the boys had them plastered all over their guitars and rigs so I was most flattered to say the least.
The bands that we have met so far are really nice.Before we played ,Richard ,who plays bass for Halo had already made contact with Me [Wooo! Gonna see Slaughter and Ratt Dude!!!] Which I thought was great.You are on the other side of the world and people go out of their way to make you feel welcome. So yeah! We got us some sikfuks out here to raize hell with.Scott ,another bass god ,is a “Dazed and Confuzed” fan as well so we are hooking up to relentlessly quote at each other.Anyone who knows the snatch sniff hand shake is all good with me!
Sweet.
Everyone who came down and the bands that we played with were hell cool and I thank you.It was the best way to kick off this run for us.Well,I am talking for me but I know that the boys had a time as well.
On Man! There was this lock up garage out the back that NEEDED to be skated in the worse way!!!!! The boys told me that I am not aloud to skate on the road cause I am the mistress of disaster {Sorry Duane} and I would be sure to fuck myself up..[ Blind+ 6′ 3 + Deck?= WAHHH!.].If my sister is reading this?? B*!!! its totally boss here.Paved malls all the way! Are you skating much in Hollywood?…The B* has the 1st “SF4L” deck.Mikey has got photos so they will end up on the site sooner or later!
Oh! Good news.The ever stauch Princess Cobez is heading out to this side of the world.See ya soon doll!
Leif is keeping me updated with all the sin that is taking place at my Beloved Annandale…I know ALL! Heh! Dan! Mikey is now breaking in the shirt and we are getting photos.
I got home at 6 this morning and I got press this afternoon [“Michele,how does it feel to be a woman in metal?’ “I dunno but I will trade you,you tell me the details on how it felt to remove my shoe from your ass “…….] Its not that bad anymore so I am lucky. Thanx too all for staying in touch from back home as well.Keep flying the flag and recruiting.We have a planet to take over remember? Heh.
Cant wait to get rolling again this week.
Now ya gotta sit down ok….
I have got some really amazing news to share with y’all.Not only do we get to play with some of the most amazing bands in the world but Devin and Gene have asked me to throw some vocals down for a guest spot on the New Strapping Young Lad album.If you dont think I KNOW how lucky I am you need a smack upside the head! My heart speeds up just thinking about it.
I would never have got this far with out y’all.
When I talked to Gene about it my legs went out from under Me.Even if it never made it to the last cut the honnor is more than enough for me.All I ever wanted was to be a part of an amazing band [Check!] Play,Hang out with other sikfuks and ,if I was lucky ,get the chance to work with my peers and heroes.
Since I have been out I have been writing alot and thinking about the path that leads a person to where they are going.How you are the sum of the events that take place in your life and the people around you.I have been gifted with some of the most selfless people and musicians.I wanted it all so badly that it was blinding,I mean,I persued nothing but this.But there are those moments ,no matter how hard you have worked for somthing and how sure you were of the end result due to [in my case] brute force and single mindedness,that still manage to take your breath away.
I tend to lean towards the school of thought that no one is immune to such overwhelming gratitude and if you are some jaded hack who cant give thanks?.Fuck you.
Soooo….
Road dirt….
Not as much as you would think to tell the truth.I really dig being with and around my brothers all the time.You get to this really strange “Lord of the flies” kind of situation and speak in short hand and grunts that civilians roll their eyes at.
To whit.
-Remember…?
-Oh man!
-The one in the red right?
-Sick my brother!
-Full ill action I say! 9 ok with you?
-Sweet as a nut.
-Cant belive that…
-Shit man! Your telling the fable!
-Belltower?
-Belltower mach 10.
That will look like a steaming pile of shit to anyone outside my band.Come to think of it….! Heh.
Being out here really does get you tight on the wire.Its great. Well Mikey just walked in to use the net and all so I will take leave of you now.
Stay true and bow to no man.
SF4L
Michele.
