This is the band that I started with Frank Carabetta and Chuck Sheetz back in 1984. 20+ years later we are still playing. Frank and I have gone through different guitar players, keyboardists and drummers throughout the years, we are back to the original line-up – the one that started one of the most popular Lake Tahoe Bands of the late 80’s /early 90’s.

In the off season, football season actually, I do a Monday Night Football promotion at Bully’s Sportsbars with my good friend Troy Fullmer of Thats Entertainment DJ Service. This where I met John Kamowich of the band Sides of Indifference. He brought some people out to see my band, The Critical Bass Band, play at XOXO a while back and I was glad to be able to finally go check his band out. They were good and I look forward to doing some shows together soon.
The gig was at Knuckleheads (4th & Vine) in Reno. The night started off with the duo Sons of Martyrs (Sides of Indifference’s drummer Matt Custer & singer John Kamowich) playing a short set followed by Days 11 and Sides of Indifference.

Eric from VIXEN nightclub in Sparks gave me a call to come down and shoot some of the national acts he has over the next few months. Last night (Wed. 1/9/07) he had The Head Cat, featuring Slim Jim Phantom of The Stray Cats – Lemmy of Motorhead, and Danny B. Harvey, a rockabilly guitar legend. The show was produced by We Ain’t Saints.
Opening up was Dirty Rigs from Tahoe City a 3 piece old school punk band from Tahoe City.

The second act was Helbound Glory a self proclaimed “Dirt-bag Country” band from Reno. In my mind these guys were the highlight of the night. I have seen their name for a while now and am really glad I had a chance to finally see them. They were GREAT.
Hellbound Glory – Check them out if you get a chance. More photos here ..
The head liners, The Head Cat, did a solid set of rockabilly standards, some Stray Cats stuff and some originals. It was a good show and it was LOUD. I was only allowed, due to a no camera clause in their contract, to photograph the 1st three songs without flash. Rockstars …
