Reintroducing the Carnie Blog

What the hell happened?  Basically life and laziness.  After a long fog of not bothering, we are going to try to bring back the Carnie Blog as a way to say hi and update everyone.  We will try to get some pics up, set list updates, etc.  In the mean time, what did you miss?.....

The original Carnie Bums went from four to two.
Stevie McSilk AKA Smitty joined the band on drums.
We played as a three piece, it was fun but not full enough.
Doc Treble brought the low end.
We were happy.
Now we totally rock.

Seriously, if you haven't seen us in a while, we are a lot different than what you may remember.  We have a full sound, a pounding rhythm section and the C-dawg and Spazz focus just on guitar (well Spazz is trying to bring the mandolin in to the fold).  Our set lists are growing and changing.  We are up to over 20 originals and countless covers.  Many old covers we used to do are retired (sorry Substitute, I've Got a Feeling, What I Got and more), some came and left (About a Girl, Highway to Hell, Thriller) and many have replaces them.  For our show next week we have 50 songs on standby and will play the whole show without a setlist and the Carnie Wheel.  The Carnie Wheel spins and we play a song in that genre.  Good times are had.  We have more than 50 songs in our show list, but we didn't feel like practicing all of them.  Also Doc Treble sings, so we have three singers again.  Really it's like a whole new band or the first few minutes of putting on clean underwear after wearing the old pair for too long.  It's a nice feeling.

We have a lot of shows, so here they are:

1.26 Pepperoni's (base of Mary Jane ski resort)
2.9 Blitz Sports Bar Westminster
3.23 The Oriental Theater Denver
4.13 12 Volt Tavern Arvada

Check us out soon and let us know what you think.
