JUST TO BE FAIR

My son recently changed the name of his blog / ongoing music project thet he's been working on for several years. This time, he went from BSD to Method Unsound, BSD being a derivative of Battle Star dream ( My personal fav) for a complete list of my sons goofy band names go here. And it was "CraXy fingers" BTW, not Crazy Fingers.
I remember this seemingly small ( but hilarious now, after the fact ) detail, because it was during the time that my son was going over fools hill. "CraXy"...come on now.
To be fair, I have been involved in making music since junior high ( that's middle school these days) and have been in several bands over those years and came up with equally retarded band names that i present to you now for your laughter and ridicule.
The 70's: Igneous Rock, Argus, Rampage. A good drummer and a good guitarist with a half assed bass player / vocalist ( that would be me ) that went absolutely nowhere. We would practice in the guitar players house and did one gig at a party on lake austin. Highlights: passable cover of ZZ tops "Precious and Grace". Also had a non drummer drummer (rampage) named Doc (see also: Westlake Outlaws).
The 80's: Left for dead...or LFD...in a garage in south Austin...marginally better equipment, loud, repetitive, speed induced. We were having fun through a straw. Made some tapes, went nowhere. Also did acoustic tapes with the other guitarist, bad recollection of Neil Young.This collective crawled along until we became:
1994 to present: Wolves@th'Door.( AKA: WATD) we finally got serious, and had the money to do so. Party gigs, club gigs, self produced CD's...hosted alternative to that pretentious shit that is South by Southwest ( Known as South by South 5th ) and monthly jams at our backyard stage/venue "Clubspit". Wrote about 30 original songs, blew the roof off of Trophys. And just as we were hitting our stride, got tired of the grind and went on hiatus, where we remain today, except for rumblings about a 10 year anniversary gig in April at Clubspit East. ( I'll keep you posted about this ).
Some other names of "bands" (bands being offshoots and mixed versions of WATD:)
Barking Spiders, Auditory Meatus, 40 waist, Backwash , Screaming Dishrags...
I'm sure there are more (Gaseous Clay & Penith come to mind, but these were Mark "Rock Star" Davis creations...god love him) but they are relegated to all that is sacred about a fallen friend.
Now I'm off to hug my SG...ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!
