Johny Cashpoint? Marcus Kellis? Paco? The Hip Cola? I feel like I'm in a time warp. My people!

I remember Mother Funker! You rocked dude.

Since May 2, 2003. Shreds! 16 years. Hopefully I'll be back again someday. Thanks for keeping it alive Sam! - JS

Time flies! 15 years ago brody did our first Song Fight! I have no idea how many songs I did here after that. A lot. Not lately obviously, but I'm happy with my archive, and of course, happy and thankful for all the amazing and cool folks I've had the fortune to meet, hang out, play music with from ...

That's awesome. Thanks for all you and the Berkeley crew did for organizing and setting this up. It was big fun. And always great to greet old faces (Spud!) and meet new faces (Phil and Heather!). It's a great annual tradition.

I like Denver.

Thank you to everyone who organized this event. Phil and I had so much fun and would love to do a SF Live again! We appreciate you all sticking with us through our technical difficulties and whatnot. The words of encouragement were so nice to hear. And on top of it all, we got to meet so many great...

Thanks again Ken (and Sam) for organizing this. Great venue. Great crowd. Great music. Great fun!

Thanks very much to Spud, Ken, Sam, Erin, the whole Berkeley SFL gang, the Starry Plough, Brody, The Hell Yeahs...all of you, for putting this on, entertaining us with your music, and having us there last night. On behalf of sonofsupercar, I hope every day is your birthday, and everything is your p...

Hey that was a blast last night! Thanks to everyone that came and was involved in organizing it. Loved meeting Phil and Heather for the first time and hanging out with them. And always good to see Spudicus. One thing I wanted to mention is we grabbed some food at Pedro's Brazilian Cafe (the shack) a...

I'm glad to hear you guys are still in and I'm excited to meet you and Phil (finally!). My quote still stands!

Thanks!

So slight change in plans. Mark, our drummer, will be joining us after all. brody will do an electric set. No special needs. It will be the same lineup that played Songfight Santa Cruz (if anyone remembers that far back). OK cool, so no acoustic guitar and mandolin then? Drums, bass, two electrics,...

On a related note: can I borrow your drummer?

No need for drummer. The only problem is he's playing with us on Friday and likely won't be there on Saturday. If you can switch to Saturday, I'll ask him.

Hey Sam. That 2nd slot works good for us. Thanks! Yay! We are doing an "unplugged" brody set with a trio. 2 guitars and bass, or 3 guitars, or 2 guitars and mandolin. Will the guitars be electrics or acoustics? If acoustics will they have pickups? And you'll be bringing your own guitars, ...

First draft of the lineups. with 25 minute sets (for setup, performance, and teardown): Friday the 15th 9:00 Shelley Booshay 9:25 Brody 9:50 The Hell Yeahs 10:15 Merisan 10:40 Mr. Car 11:05 Lunkhead 11:30 ADD Music Saturday the 16th 9:00 Kasper/Irwin 9:25 Glennny 9:50 Roymond 10:15 Ken 10:40 Sockpu...

I got confirmation from Eric so brody is looking pretty solid for Friday night. Looking forward to seeing and playing with old (and new) friends!

I'd love to see SOS again (with or without Blue Lang)

fluffy wrote:I'm available to drum with mediocrity.

On that note I could still use a drummer for my set.

Thanks! We might take you up on that. Let me chat with Eric. I'm hoping we'll do the song you wrote the lyrics for us on (What We Need More of is Science) as one of the songs in our mini set.

brody is still hopefully planning to play but our drummer (Mark) had to drop out because he has a paying gig playing the sax the same night (here in Santa Cruz of all places). So we may play acoustic or enlist another drummer (should one be available). Just need to confirm again with Eric (who I thi...
