Fortunate Son?

We have been practicing regularly getting ready for our first ever appearance at:

Neisen’s Brothers Sports Bar
Saturday June 10th, 2006
9:00 - 1:30
4851 W 123rd St , Savage, MN
(Near Highway 13 and Lynn Ave)

Looking back at our recent gig schedule reveals a bit of Lava Lords trivia. Our last 8, yes EIGHT gigs in a row have all been American Legion halls. Seems rather odd since prior to the string of 8 in a row we had only played one other Legion gig. We haven’t played out anywhere but a Legion hall since July 2005 !!

This weekend’s gig is pretty exciting for us for many reasons.

1) it’s NOT a Legion Hall

2) Other than Andy none of us have even been to the bar before so we have no idea what to expect as far as the stage, the load in and what kind of clientele frequent the bar, what is the sound / acoustics are like?

3) Since our regular “lava lamp technician / sound man wannabee / roadie” Mitch is on sabbatical we have recruited Andy’s friend (and Open Element band mate) Dave to come out and act as soundman for the night. This really rocks!!!!

4) Many people have been asking / wondering the last couple years if we are EVER going to play a south metro gig. Finally we are giving them a chance to come out and support the Lava Lords closer to their home base. We are hoping for a pretty decent turn out.

So what about the Fortunate Son? title for this blog entry?

On Friday Lonzo and his buddy from work HBPiii (Skip) took lunch as they are "wont to do" at the local Great China restaurant. Of course after lunch you get to see a glimpse of your future according to the “Fortune Cookie”.

Lonzo = “An interesting musical opportunity is in your near future”.

SWEET !!

Come out and ROCK with the Lava Lords at Neisen’s this weekend to be part of it.
