Show Memory #136 - The Human Condition April Fools Show

The night was April 1st, 2011 - April Fools Day - but this was no joke! The Human Condition April Fools Donkey Punchin' Goat Show.


The Human Condition (THC) was filming their entire set in HD this night at Club Red in Tempe Arizona and it was a ROCKIN' show! Special guests included An Early Fall, Freewill (Rush Tribute), and 69 Sins.

I missed Freewill (sorry guys) but I arrived at Club Red in time to see An Early Fall, fronted by female vocalist Dylan Rowe. I have to say that I was impressed with this band and am curious to see more from them in the future.










69 Sins with their lead vocalist, Angry Kracker, absolutely killed it! The crowd was very accepting of the new line-up and they put on a great show. You'll find these guys playing several venues around the Valley.










The Human Condition features members from Flotsam and Jetsam and Sacred Reich. Eric "AK" Knutsen, Wiley Arnett, Johnny Urwin and Brian "Muley" Webb are The Human Condition and are based out of Scottsdale Arizona.










The moment these guys stepped on stage Club Red patrons went wild! The energy was great and the band had a good vibe. Metal horns were raised as the band feverishly lit up the stage with some down right ass kicking metal and a "super cool retro cover tune" that I don't remember the name of off hand! ha!








I had an awesome time and was able to meet more members of the band I hadn't met yet and see some friends that I hadn't seen in a while. For more information on The Human Condition, visit their website at: www.thehumancondition.us 

Show Memory #245 - Love and a .38 at Club Red

Love and a .38 came to Arizona and played at Club Red in Tempe on 2-19-11. It was so good to see my dear friend Krishna and finally meet the rest of the band. Krishna is such an awesomely talented artist.





There was a little bit of problem at first with the bass amp but Patrick, the also talented sound technician for Club Red, was able to get them up and rolling!

Of course I had to be right up front for this performance as I had been waiting for a long time for them to come to Arizona. Love and a .38 did NOT disappoint. The energy on stage and just the way they seemed to click made for an awe-struck performance.








I was able to spend some time chatting with Fish from Digital Summer who was also in attendance! What a great guy he is!





I look forward to seeing Love and a .38 more often here in Arizona and may have to make my way to CA to see them at the Roxy or the Viper Room where they are often found. If you get the opportunity, I highly recommend seeing this band. You WON'T be disappointed!
