This is from a gig we did in Nairobi, Kenya at the ambassador's residence. The woman singing was the German ambassador's girlfriend I believe. She came up to sit in on "Respect" with us and absolutely slayed it!

The German ambassador is doing all right for himself!

Played the first gig with my latest singerbabe yesterday. She's the blonde in the first post of this thread, no live pictures yet but we do have video. I think I need to talk her into wearing skimpier tops, though the shiny black leggings definitely work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFtUr3VTMbg

She's a Sennheiser sweetie, too. Those e835's are the new standard. I swear by mine, after decades with a SM58.

I like everything about that song. Thanks for sharing.

Well, we have new promo shots being taken soon, but until then ...







We just finished playing a killer show for the Seattle Sheraton employees' holiday party -- our 4th year in a row. I should have some shots from that gig to post soon.

In the meantime, I gotta keep up my honorary status!

Yes, and dance!

We have a pretty exciting addition to our front line, too. We just hired a former Seattle Seahawk's "SeaGal." She will take our choreography to a "whole 'nother level"!
(She's pretty easy on the eyes too -- I'll post new pics soon!)

I'll have to post our beer-gut singer/guitarist here so you all will know how jealous I am.

One of my band goals is to play behind 2 or 3 hot singer dance chicks. I am jealous too.

You and I are in very similar bands, my friend. Good stuff. I really enjoyed Weightless.

I can see that ... ...but they're not! The older (taller) one has super stage-presence. The younger one is an actress, has a great voice, and is my Scotch-drinking buddy. We're all buds, which makes this band lotsa fun!

OK, so there has been plenty of mutual admiration, respect, and jealousy over each others' gigs, but this one takes the cake. I want this guy's gig, and will nominate him for charter membership, if he were to appear, within this thread.

Band name is Bubble Bath. They are from Israel, and specialize in classic prog-rock covers. Check out their Gentle Giant cover that I posted in the Recordings forum:

OMG, the chick on the cover of Brain Salad Surgery is REAL!
