Above are my two bands................top photo is JOE GRAVES AND THE DIRTY LEFT HAND............the other is AMERICAN SKIN..............both bands and certain personnel in them got nominated for numerous awards..............you see, here in Augusta, there is an online zine devoted to local music called LOKAL LOUDNESS............at the end of each year they open up voting for two months to select favorites in various categories................then in february they have a big show and pass out awards to all the winners.........it's great fun..........for some reason, when all the local musicians gather in one place, the vibe is just capital...........great feeling of comraderie.............the fact of the matter is we rarely get to see each other because all always off playing somewhere...........so it's nice to hang for a bit.............
At any rate, these are the categories in which we have a vested interest................
Favorite Drummer:ME
Favorite Bassist:my wife Tracy(DIRTY LEFT HAND)
Favorite Vocalist:Brian Panowich(AMERICAN SKIN)
Favorite Local Female:Tracy
Favorite New Band:AMERICAN SKIN and THE DIRTY LEFT HAND
Favorite Band:AMERICAN SKIN

Favorite CD:DLH for SAME OLD FOIBLES

Looking forward to it!!! and it's even before my bedtime. Thanks for posting this Stak - now i have a place i can direct everyone for details. So you gonna put little tuxs on the drum stick?
Oh Great, I heard it was a glow in the dark condom the last time...
At least do it like they do strawberries at fancy weddings, you know, white and dark chocolate dipped to look like a tux? Oh, and don't forget the monocle...
i got a monocle for each testicle.......
Are your testicles near-sighted, Stak?
And hey, what do the trophies look like?
Please be sure to post a picture of your trophies! FIngers crossed for you!
rhi, you make it too easy..........
the trophies are very classy.........even if they are made of plexi-glass.......i will post photos..........
by the by - i'm bringing the RedWolf company camera so if you want any photos with ALL your trophies, i'll be happy to take 'em for you. Group shots, that kinda thang.
that would be cool, assuming we actually win any.........
I am always disappointed that I am not one of the 500 thanked in the acceptance speech.
Awesome - hope you have LOTS of trophies to show us!
