Gig Updates

Moondogs: Blawnox, PA

Every now and then ya run into one a’ dem nights dat ya can’t get ya mind right. Spent da whole dam show tryin to get right. We played pretty well straight thru but my mind was not right. “Rebel Rouser” led to “Boilermaker” on thru to “Somethin’s Cookin”. At this point, I brought ole friend, Neil Gerjuoy onstage to blow some killer harp on a few numbers “Shit House Rat”, “When Times Was Good” and “Comin Home”. I like how da harp sounded. We sent “Bow Legged Woman” out to my sister and Stutso sang da crap outta dat thang. “Stiller Nation” was very well received, must be gittin close to da opener. “High Times” opened the second set and “When I Die And Go To Hell” was the highlight. Don’t know why, but for some crazy reason I just started up “Town With No Name” towards the end of the night, hadn’t done dat joint in a while.

Ziggy’s: Tarentum, PA

When I got to the joint there was some jamming going on. Warren King was smoking some plank with Ray, also on guitar, and Big Riff Mitchell shoutin out loud. We came on and did a two hour set that flew by, in the wink of an eye. Saw ole buddy Murph behind da bar n’ my brother Ace da shining LA star. “Rebel Rouser”, “Somethin’s Cookin”, “Nightclub”… we was bringin it to da peoples. Stutso sang a crushing take of “Three Times Your Fool” and the house went nuts, so I made sure that he sang a bunch. “Million Tears”, “You Go Your Way”, “Victoria’s Secret”, “It’s My Own Fault”, “Work Together”.  We had a couple strong requests for “Smoke Two Joints” which went well and went even better when I handed my guitar to Warren “Kingfish” King during da solo at da very nipple of da jam. I instantly put dat hamburger down n’ guess what, I started dancing just as good as I wanted to. “I hate A Nickel” came off real clean wit WK lickin it up as did “Minimum Wage”.

Stay tuned for the latest updates! Better yet, come to one of the shows and experience "The Manful Handful" himself, first hand!
