Our 2nd night in Atlanta was a blinder. We went down to a club in the city, to see Kent play in his local outfit, Metalsome. Max and I both got up on stage at different times to belt out a couple of songs. Metalsome is a karaoke concept, with a live band. The guys are awesome musicians, and the band was razor-tight. They play 4 or 5 nights a week – and they all have to know about 400 songs off the top of their heads. You line up, pick your song & wait til they call you.

Led Zep’s ‘Rock and Roll’ jumped out at me like a beacon, so I picked that one (I had to do it) and found myself attempting to ‘channel’ Robert Plant on stage. When I got back into the audience, a girl came up and requested I sign up again for ‘Whole Lotta Love’ (who am I to argue with that?).

In the mean time, Max got up & sang Iron Maiden’s ‘Run To The Hills’. The beer was flowing (bar staff plying me with freebies). By the time I got back up there for Zep song number 2, I was a little under the weather – and channeling a very drunk Robert Plant. But it was all good (I think – or, at least, as I remember). Max topped off the night with some ACDC.

We had such a blast. A little slow starting today…

Our next tour date is Friday in Tennesee, at Inherent Records, Cleveland. Check the Shows page for details.

Checkya tomorrow,
Fires out.
