Hellhounds at Russian River Brewery 2/19/07
I zipped in to Russian River Brewery for a few minutes on the special "Tour of California" music night and caught about an hour of the Hellhounds. They are sounding really good and tight now, they've been playing a lot. Bill Wolfe's voice is getting 'tenor power' and that massive chest sure does have some projection. Phil Ajioka's voice is developing some 'burr' to it and sounding real good. Phil's guitar playing has always been admired and now with a lot of playing it's tight as a drum and phrased with power. Man, did they sound good. I'm looking forward to their shows at the Tattoos and Blues Festival this weekend.
A broken bass drum head was driving Drummer Allen McDaniel crazy and he kept having to put duct tape on it. Bill and Phil were making bets about how many yards of tape would get used by midnight. Allen would tape it, give an exploratory push on the drum pedal, get a weak 'woomp" instead of a "thud", and roll his eyes. Heh, I wonder if he changed the head when he got home, or waited until today.
Hi to Arman, and to Peter and Cheryl.
