Our guitar player drew this and we were gonna make shirts. I modified it to remove the bodies and made buttons we gave out in Vegas. He asked if he should add Koff last names like the Ramones. I was ambivalent, but said the Linda Linda's do it too. Last I heard of that idea.

Thats exactly it. Our guy doesn't come to most practices because he has to "protect his voice", which has never bothered me because we don't really need him there anyway and he always shows up on stage prepared. Since he's rarely there, he has no idea how much work we put into developing these songs and rehearsing our parts to be ready for a show. It was a slap inn the face to all of us to say you want to skip one, elven more to say it right on stage in the middle of the set. I was up there thinking, "this is supposed to be fun and this guy just killed my fun"! If you don't like something, why not come to work with us some time and help make it better? You have any idea how hard it is to come up with and develop an original song? At least for me it is.

@hullabelew I missed this. Walrus Audio Julia. I don't really use it. I left it one there because it was expensive and there was space for it. I really hope to find a use for it some day. Link I bought the Pitchfork because I heard a use for an octave pedal in the song Waiting when I was writing it nd it had great reviews. I only use it for the very end of that song. It's a hella fun pedal and I love having it on my pedalboard. I use it more when I just jamming alone at home. I have it in latching mode, so its only on when my foot is physically on it. So you can just play a few notes with the effect and bring it in and out. Hope to find more to do with it in the future.

Our singer is super talented, but a pain in the ass to work with. That's why we never bothered finding a replacement drummer. He came back into this with brand new, improved attitude because he's seeing me on stage with other bands and wants to play again. So I thought there was hope of resurrecting it and even had a few drummers in mind. By the time we got to the venue I was 90% sure i was done with him, that turned to 100% when mid-set he turns and asks me if we can skip a song on the setlist he doesn't like. I responded by tearing into the riff and letting him decide if he wants to sing it or stand there looking like an idiot. Of course he was long gone by the time load out came. I texted Jessica in the morning that I couldn't be in a band with him anymore and she replied that she didn't want to do it either. Im gonna have to break the news to him next time I see him. Its not gonna go well, he's still high from the success of Saturday. I wrote a bunch of songs, formed a band and got an album out there. I learned a ton and there's a lot I'd do differently looking back, but there's a lot for me to be proud of and a lot to carry into my next project. I have like 3 that have been on the back burner im going to move on to, plus I have The Koffs, they would love for me to write. Speaking of The Koffs, everybody there is so easy to work with and just glad to have each other. Our singer is almost guilty that he doesn't play an instrument and compensates by helping us load gear and doing everything he can to help. Vary Mary was like that until we let one guy in. Be careful who you into your band. I guess thats a big lesson learned.

I posted the wrong song! This is one of my favorites, and I think its the last song Vary Mary will ever play live. Fitting title. Goodbye This one features the Shaggy Screamer for the solo, and a little of how I use my Bigsby. I also noticed my foot is on the Shaggy Screamer in one of the photos I posted above. Great shot.

Vary Mary crushed it last night. We packed a venue that you have to play if you're gonna call yourself a San Francisco band. Everybody loves the orange Gretsch and how it sounds. Several musicians in bands I admire in attendance. I was literally thanked for not drowning the Gretsch out with gain "like everybody else does". Plus we sold some records. Our singer killed it, and I see no way I ever play another show with him. Its a fucking shame.

BTW, I can't tell you what a tickle i get everytime I stomp on that Shaggy Screamer - especially on a stage. It gives me an equal kick when I see some of you guys post your rigs and I see it there. That was one of the most rewarding project I've ever completed. Edit - and while I'm sitting here killing some down time. I dreamt last night that I got a Rickenbacker bass as a backup, but ended up liking it more than my P-Bass. Now I'm going to go play some Rickenbasses. That may have been a premonition.

I re-imagined my pedal board in anticipation of our show tonight. Everything on the bottom i switch off and on during songs, by spacing them out it'll take less concentration to avoid accidently hitting 2. I use nothing on the top with Vary Mary or Dirty Years, but I can run them inline or place the modulation effects in the loop when I do. I can also give the Reverb and Delay to a vocalist when needed. Tonight I'm running the Orange Gretsch into a EVH 5150 iii that I've been practicing with all week. Great amp. The 5150 iii is a contender for my new head, but I'm able to dial in all the gain I need to get my sound from Channel 1. Channels 2 and 3 are a lot of fun, but I dont know that I'd ever need them unless I start a metal band. Actually, I have some material written for a future project that could use Channel 2. [emoji848] I want to spend time with a JCM800 and an Orange Rockerverb 50. I think these are the 3 im down to. Before After

Today our record released to to all the platforms. Pretty exciting to wake up this morning, search "Vary Mary" on my platform, and there it is!

There's venue down the road from me that often keeps me up too late on work nights because they put on awesome shows all the time. Usually a touring band and a couple local bands in support, with the money at the door going to the touring band. I always think this must be what it was like living near CBGB in the late 70's. I have a feeling I'll be walking down the hill to see your daughter's band in the not too distant future. I do know the band name, and my lips are sealed! We did have an awesome band from San Antonio a few months ago, Pinko.

I got Fred Gretsch (IV?), Tom Jones (of TV Jones), and Joe Carducci (now retired product marketing manager for Gretsch at Fender) to sign it at NAMM not long after I bought it. Gretsch is independent as a manufacturer as I understand it, but Fender handles all their marketing and distribution. Something like that. Or did, its been a while since I paid attention. Joe was at Fender for decades and is one the nicest guys you'll ever meet. I had a few conversations with him at NAMM over the years when I used to go. https://www.gretsch.com/guitarist/joe-carducci/

I just got this one out for the 1st time in a while to put on fresh strings, but evidently i did that the last time she was out. This is a great sounding guitar. Just howls and feedback is always at the ready. Only issue is that it can be hard to hit clean bends above the 12th fret. You can do it, but you better be paying attention.

I just had a 10 pack arrive yesterday, now have a 12 pack on the way. I won't need strings for a while.

Psychofest was insane. Whole casino taken over by metal heads. The swimming pools were taken over in all black, denim, long hair and tattoos everywhere, along with hot metal chicks. I had no idea there were so many hot metal chicks. So many great bands, so many cool stages. Mercyful Fate was incredible. One of the best shows I've seen.

Just watched another bass amp die. Smaller stage and crew wasn't as fast. Small delay then got it going for a couple songs, then it died again for good. Great band, handled it well.

I didnt know what to expect going into or Psycho set. I figured it would either be a room full of metalheads hungry for the weekend, or an empty room as people rested up in anticipation. What we got was somewhere in between. They didn't open the room we played until 6, which is exactly when we went on. So we opened to a fairly empty room, but it slowly filled during our set. People without tickets stood outside the entrance and watched from the casino floor. All in all I think we did what we were invited to come here and do, warm up a stage, and I think we'll be invited back. That room never got more full than we had it that evening until Cancer Christ closed it. Cancer Christ is an incredible act btw. Several people have approached me and said they liked our set, our Facebook page grew a lot this weekend, and I'm told we sold some merch - I have no idea how much. Otherwise, the Psycho promoters have treated us extremely well and I'm so spoiled i dont know if I can ever go to another festival without an Artist pass. Everywhere there's a line there's also an Artist entrance without one, including metal detectors and bathrooms. Every crowded stage has an Artist / VIP area you can view from - most even have seating. People see the artist pass and come ask about your band, including what i assume to be groupies. Also, some of the best bands have been on the smaller stages and some of the headliners have disappointed (I'm looking at you Suicidal Tendancies!). One of the best acts I saw was Mothership from Louisiana (I believe), that dude on spakle V is super talented and even more entertaining. 100% Rock and Roll. We've partied pretty hard since Thursday. Today I'm just resting up in the room to get ready for Mercyful Fate tonight and back to the real world tomorrow. /csb
