MCGRATH AND MORRISON
Tonight is an all new CFR on Indie 103.1 - and this week, I have Mark McGrath as my co-host. Mark has guested with Camp Freddy on numerous occasions and is not only an amazing frontman, but has an incredible knowledge of music. I know my playlist includes some Panic Channel, a little Siouxie, a touch of Wolfmother ..... and you KNOW that Mark will have some Killing Joke to spin!! So make sure you tune in tonight between 6pm and 8pm PST on Indie 103.1FM.
Before that, I will be in the studio for most of the day, working on the songs for the soundtrack. Dave will be doing his guitar tracks today, and we will be pretty much ready to mix the tracks after that. I am still waiting for confirmation that we can tell you a little more.
And Circus Diablo are going to be putting some street teams together really soon. We will have 100% confirmation of the August dates early next week, and when they go up, we will begin building the teams. The plan is to have a small but dedicated team of people that pound the streets a couple of weeks before a show, with stickers, posters and a spraypaint stencil. In return, we are planning a Street Team Hang at every gig - those people will get to hang out at soundcheck and generally get the treatment. More details next week.
The rehearsals have been so much fun this week. We are all tired (10 hour days playing loud rock music takes it out of you!!) but really happy with the work we've been doing.
Fletch - OK. Then I give you my word that if you let me know next time either Camp Freddy or Circus Diablo are on your radar, let me know and I'll take care of you. Thats a LONG ass trip to make to see a band. Respec'!!!!
Leon - I understand now. And yes, it is an awkward moment that happens a lot in bands. Me? I think I would have not reacted, moved it along, and dealt with the situation after the show.
And by the way - the second song is called SHINE.
Gotta get moving - see you guys later.
Billy

You know I am down for the NY Street Team but:
"a spraypaint stencil"
does that also come with Street Team bail money when I get arrested in NYC? The NYPD doesn't take too kindly to graffiti anymore. ;-)
You guys play NYC and I'll sticker the town like it's freaking Christmas!

Fab CFR Billy. You guys had me laughing! I loved the stories, and loved that Mark was asking you questions. What really had me cracking up was him saying about getting the shamrock tattoo on his elbow. I'm still giggling.

Oh we hear a lot about the size Cantrell's member around here (from Dave and Billy)!
(and whatever else I have to say on that topic.I better save it for elsewhere..SRL maybe?)

GREAT show Billy!!!
How cool that you know another classic Matt Sorum story before he does! lol
.....I was in Hawaii &....guys in my studio &....so damn hot &....transformer exploded &....new fucking roof &....
ROFL! I can just hear him telling it! hahahaha
I heard Mark was a no-show at Npt & wondered if he would be with you tonite! Too funny he didn't know he was supposed to be there! hehe
I love CFR but I especially love it when you're on!
Billy - YOU RAWK!!!!!

Count me in for street team. It would be more fun than I could imagine!
Hopefully there's a CD show sometime in late September when my buds from across the pond are here. I'd love for them to experience you guys!

Billy, I hope Rob comes to realize what a good friend he has in you.
Trouble is, he's surrounded by fakes, I guess you scared them, I hope one day he wakes up to that

Oh yea Billy, I'm in for the NYC street team....but like Peebs said...we'll need bail money for the spraypaint stencil....attorney's fees (no need to worry for those as I'll do it pro se for me and pro bono for peebs!)
I totally understand that it's hard to get to the east right now....hoping that it will be before the end of the year though..is that a possibility???

Billy-
Sign me up if you guys head to the Seattle area. I work in the downtown area and could spend a lot of time preachin' the Gospel of CD!
Great CFR too with Mark. Thanks!
