DOWN FOR FIVE THANKS YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!!!
We want to send a big THANK YOU out to everyone that supported Down For Five on this last Cain's show!!! We sold a total of 83 tickets and 61 of those were sold in Bartlesville! !! Due to all of your support, there were only two bands that sold more tickets than we did! There were a lot of great bands selling tickets to this show and we feel very fortunate to have gotten a decent time slot on the Main stage(8pm) and it's all because of your support! Thank you SO much!!
Congratulations to Heather Baker of Tulsa, who was the winner of Janna Jordan's Ibanez S470 guitar! You can see a video of the drawing at www.downforfive.com click on the "News" link at the top.
Down For Five will be going in to pre-production for a new EP after the holidays so we won't be doing very many, if any, shows for a while. We are looking forward to having something new to offer! Stay tuned and we'll keep you posted on our progress.
I'M BACK FROM MY TRAVELS AND READY TO JAM!!!
Well, I hit 9 states this time, three blizzards in Utah and a snow storm in New Mexico and I made it back in one piece! That was one hell of a drive! I saw some breathtakingly beautiful country!
The first three nights I spent in Estes Park, Colorado with family. While I was there we visited the famous Stanley Hotel where Steven King wrote The Shining and they filmed the scary as hell remake for TV there as well! Then, on to Las Vegas for a night and stayed with an old friend I hadn't seen in about 13 years! Went out and grabbed a beer, got some rest, and finally made my way out to Los Angeles the next day and met up with my pal Jack Tracy(Aka; Jack The Actor, Aka; Mack Daddy Jack) We hit all the have-to-see places over the next three
days including The Pacific Ocean, Venice Beach, Hollywood and all that entails, like Hollywood Blvd, The Sunset Strip and I even went rollin' down Rodeo with a pocket full of...um....change! ? Saw the Walk Of Fame and hung out at the Whiskey a Go-Go, The Ritz and The Rainbow bar and Grill where I met Ron Jeremy, Mike Inez(Alice In Chains, Ozzy) and got a picture(sort- of) with Dweezil Zappa!
After that I headed back to Vegas to hang out with my good friend Rob a little longer and take in the sights in Vegas one more night, we had a great home-cooked meal consisting of brick-oven baked chickens he raised himself and stuffed bell peppers filled with buffalo meat, exotic rice and lentils. Later we hit the strip and the Palms where T.J. and the band met Vinnie Paul(Pantera) a few days earlier. I didn't get so lucky, but that's ok I've met him already anyway ;-)> Rob saved the best for last and took me to the coolest place in Vegas, The Artisan! It's probably the only hotel in Vegas that you can't gamble in! VERY COOL! It's also a wedding chapel, but I decided against that, the waitress just wasn't my type, lol.
From Vegas I headed out to Mesquite, Nevada to meet up with T.J. and the band and jam a little. I stayed up and hung out for a while but I was pretty wiped out from Vegas so I got some rest and headed for the north rim of the Grand Canyon the next day. Unfortunately the North rim was closed for winter so I headed to the South rim(what a beautiful drive that was!), got in and made my way around the park just as the sun was setting, it was beautiful but awfully cold!
Barely made it to Albuquerque that night, the weather sucked! I got a cheap motel and rested up for the drive home. Woke up to a snow storm and had to drive 45mph through the mountains, but I made it home ...well, to the Solo, safe and sound by around 10 or 11pm Monday night. Then on to a nice welcome home jam at Doc's with some of the boy's from Fist Of Rage. Good times, good times!!!
Please be sure to help us spread the word about our shows...see you there!!!
