Concert Post 6: 02-13-10 Subatomic @ Cheapshots Stoughton WI THE LOST BLOG POST

Lost blog post from the lost blogger.  Much like a Doobie Brothers song from the 70's that just keeps playing in your ear... hell much like the Doobie Brothers who are still on tour (really? AWESOME) this blog just keeps you runnin.  I've been running to say the least, but much like last time, I vow to catch up.  It's summer and I'm in shape dammit.

On this night, I was asked to guitar tech for my buddy Brian Moll, and as part of my "tech duties" I was to bring a didj along with me.  The place was filled to capacity for a show in which the mighty face melting unit that IS Subatomic was opening for several large scale metal touring bands.  They will not be named, because I had to bail after the Subatomic set for other obligations having to do with something pressing that I can't recall now because I have been taking care of too many pressing things as of late.  If you understand that excuse.. well you are better than I am.

The didj has some majik in it.  Not like Magic the Gathering, it will NOT make you want to move back home and collect Spell of Infinate Virginity cards... it will however, when combined with the Tao of Sparky, the Buddist of Jim and the Hag of Brian, bring you to a Big Mountain.  It has powers that the Aborignials believed in, and that make me believe in what the Aboriginals believe in....  Well not the body paint... yet.

Circular breathing is the hardest thing I have ever had to learn to do.  It's really not circular at all... it's more like switch, but I'm sure your trying to figure out just how you breathe in when you breathe out... or your just trying to figure out where this ADD blog is going.  Either way, your intrigued as am I.

Big Mountain rolled through the room, the capacity crowd riding shotgun, they got a little more from an "opener" than they ever thought... but then again... that's what Subatomic. delivers... more than you would think....

Til Next Time,

Concert Post 1: Jan 02, 2010 Subatomic. Frequency CD Release Show

As stated on the outset, this here is a gig blog, so with the start of the New Year.. comes the start of some sick new gigs...

Subatomic. is a power rock trio consisting of Bryan Moll on Lead Guitar and Vocals, Jim Roof on Bass and Mark Dvorak on drums.  That is the last standard statement I will make about these men, as only simile and metaphor can be used to describe their sound and stellar abilities.  Their music asks you to come over, pours you a stiff drink of whiskey, bitch slaps you upside your head, and then has amazing make-up sex with you.  Yeah.. it's that good. And you find even after the abuse, you come back for more... again and again.  They are your Rock Dominatrix and you just, weather you like it or not, became a submissive begging for another hit of the sweet sweet sounds.

I have a long history of music with these amazing men.  It seems that at ANY point, the song can go anywhere, and we don't leave a brother behind.  Bryan and I met on a faithful night of drinking with Pops and I.  By the end of the night we were jammin in a basement, and have been friends for the 10 years since.  Just as long for Sparky (Mark) and I, and Jim is clearly my lost twin brother.  The Physical resemblance is uncanny.
