A QUICKIE BEFORE BREAKFAST
Just thought I would pop on here and post quickly. I just got back from some Cardio and Pilates and feel ready for the day (as I sit with a double cappucino and a cigarette in my mouth!!). Guitars are on their way to be re-strung before tonights show. Setlist seems passable - equipment is in the truck ...... what could go wrong??!!!! I love the Camp Freddy show days, because even though we all start the day thinking about the long soundcheck, the various bits and pieces we do during the day, the songs we are not quite sure of, etc, we ALL go home at the end of it all having had a great time. And thats all that really matters. So roll on tonight and lets play some music.
The whole piercing thing is an old subject for me. My old band, Stimulator, back in the UK, was all about tatts and piercings, I used to work and hang out at The Torture Garden and other Fetish clubs, and talked a lot about sticking bits of metal through various parts of my body. These days, the only ones that are left are the main ones - and they have been there so long, I forget I have them. Todays pic is from back in the UK, when I was getting some of my left sleeve done. Its about time I had them re-colored. Oh God .... here we go again!
The Doheny site is now gone, I believe. Jon was in charge of that, and with him doing some Pitchshifter shows, Sean doing his thing with the band that he joined, and me with my new band (yes I know, I have to give some details of this soon!!), it seems that Doheny is dead and gone. RIP Doheny. But the best of the songs are up on the MP3 player here on the Radio Page, so go listen, download, enjoy, and lets all move onwards and upwards.
Thats gonna have to be it from me right now. I need to relax, take a shower, make myself look pretty (now THATS a tough job these days!) and get down to the venue. Full report from the show here tomorrow. Have a great day everyone, and see y'all soon. (Especially those that sneak into Santa Monica Airport tonight!!!)
Peace
Billy

I'd adore a CF Halloween show on the strip somewhere. Why do I get jealous when there's a private show going on? Sigh... just can't get enough of you guys I guess.
Have a great time Billy!!!

ok, well, the bright side of the apparent demise of doheny is it means that we can enjoy the boys in several different ventures, from Pitchshifter to Camp Freddy, to the "secret" band, etc. I will always consider myself quite lucky to have seen doheny live TWICE, both in rather intimate settings..
onward and upward, so I guess that doheny email doesn't work either, Billy, I am sending you my dream track list for my Camp Freddy gig, I am rather sad that Dave says he might not be able to make it on the 12th, but it looks like the fifth might be a possibility, seeing as it looks like his gig has been cancelled, I know, I know, I want it ALL!! and why shouldn't I?
ok, have fun, those of you that manage to sneak in, I am, unfortuneately, rather stuck here, right between my rock and the other hard place
Love to Alec, you STUD!, my dear Kate, thanks for the words of inspiration, and sweet laurie!
jez(I LOVE ALLISON!!)
hi LISA!

Have a great show and great time Billy!
Sad about Doheny but,
I cannot wait to hear details of the new band.
Thank you Allison! for the downloads of the Doheny songs.
Camp Freddy needs to do some shows in the South!

Hiya all! Billy ~ Have a great show. I get jealous anytime I hear there's a show...I mean, I'm in Wales damn it..
and Billy, you're such a sweetheart for the tip off.
HI JEZ BABY! xoxoxox
I like coming on here and seeing the changes too.
Thanks Allison.
I think I have a little idea about the new band (maybe ?), from reading another blog you write once in a while. But I've been a good girl. I AM a good girl. :D I have angel wings.
Love
Lisa

speaking of tattoos, what inspired the home page on this website? i saw an episode of miami inked and one of the artists tattooed their spouse with a flower including her eye in the middle... coincidence? (wink)

I had a feeling Doheny was coming to an end. Sad to hear that Doheny has ended. :-(
I'm looking forward to hearing your new band. :-)

I couldn't pump up my inflatable helicopter to get me thru Orange County traffic up to Santa Monica in time, but thanks for the nice tip. Any others? Any New Year's Eve Show? Looking forward to info on the new band.

Ruldolf~Skot did the original image for the tattoo, taken and cropped from a pic of Billy's tatt's of course.
Billy liked it so much, he 'tweaked' it.
The eye thing, is my own perception. (as far as I know)
