We had our very first show together as Electric Messiah this past Saturday evening. I don’t think it could have been a better night. Everything aligned, mind you, we’ve never played on stage together. Jason and I once, but that was it. Little tweaks we need to make here and there but all in all it was a success.
To add to the evening my girl was right there in the front row. She’s a trooper. Seriously, she is. She had to leave for work right after our set, I wanted her to stay but I understand. I love her. I also saw out in the back of the audience Oz Fox from Stryper. Thank you Oz. That was cool of you to come downstairs to see us. See… he was upstairs at the Courtyard Stage for the Rock n Roll Fantasy Camp. I didn’t know that was going on at the same time and neither did the people who came to see us. What a pleasant surprise because I got to go up there with my all access pass and hang out with legends. People like; Oz Fox (Stryper), Lez Warner (The Cult), Rudy Sarzo & Frankie Banali (Quiet Riot), Eric Johnson, Tony Franklin (The Firm), Elliot Easton (The Cars), Gary Hoey, Phil Soussan (Ozzy) …. Whew. Talk about shivers. And then to add to the pot, I was chatting with Jason Ebs about him singing with Joe Perry on stage. Mind blowing. One of my heroes.
Anyway, enough with the name dropping. 🙂
To sum it up… we had a great night. After loading all of our gear at the loading dock we were greeted by Vinnie Paul and Carrot Top (friends of JP’s) before they headed inside for the festivities.
As I said in my last blog. I love my life.
I leave you with one of the songs we did at the House of Blues. It’s called, Norse Sword.
