I've had enough people try to talk me through uploading videos from my handycam to my laptop and from there to YouTube and MySpace, that I finally sat down and got out the instruction manual and gave it a shot...
The result is that RELIX finally has some better quality videos uploaded online!
I'd recommend checking out these YouTube links before checking our band site (especially since I haven't finished uploading over there and the quality on YT versus MS is vastly different!)
First, a couple of very recent videos from the Brewzerz 4th Anniversary Party;
HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN
HARD TO HANDLE
Can't recall if I'd reported on that weekend...? I'll have to double back and look!
Next video is from Louisiana College's 43rd Annual Cochon de Lait back in April and the appearance on stage of my ukulele for the 1st time;
LION SLEEPS TONIGHT
Enjoy, and leave comments either here or there - spread the word to help us get some big viewing numbers too PLEASE?!?!?! _______________________________________
Hmm, I guess after rereading I do need to fill in some gaps!!!
The 6th we partied hard with the crew at BREWZERZ, helping them celebrate their 4th Anniversary in true ROCK-n-ROLL style!!!! They had a lot of bands to choose from that night, but they chose us and we felt really honored.
It was a loooong night, and as we arrived the Karaoke Contest was still going on - some really talented people were up on that stage! Once they finished and the winner was chosen by the crowd, we hastily set up and fired off into the show!
Throughout the night a bunch of fun activities were held to get the audience involved; Women racing to **** beer from baby bottles, Men racing to empty full bottles of beer (I think the winner was UNDER 3 seconds!), Motorcycle Burn-Out Contests (1 fella's belt was shot and another fried his transmission!) and of course, the Wet T-Shirt Contest! There was just a LOT of non-stop activity all night and we had an elevated view of the whole thing!
We ended up playing an extra set, in essence nearly a 5 & 1/2 hours (less breaks)! We even shared a few of our origonal tunes with the crowd to a great reception!
This last weekend we returned for our 1st show of the season out at the OXBOW MARINA. It's under new management and the funny thing is the new guy remembered from from years and years ago (he used to work with my brother.) The crowd was less than 50 all night (although it was reported that people around the lake and in cabins were on their porches drinking and rocking out too.)
A handful of our regulars from Brewzerz even showed up and stayed the entire night! Guess that means we have a following!
Anthony (the manager) told me during our last break that we were "the most polished he's heard locally" (which means either he hasn't heard a lot of other bands or maybe we are that good?)
We'll play Brewzerz this weekend and then have 2 weeks off so I can recuperate from surgery before hitting the Oxbow again.
NEXT EDITION: The Progress being made on the CD!!!!!!!!
