Hickoids were back up in Denton with Hammel and Slobberbone at Dans Silverleaf. Since Denton is on the opposite side of the DFW metroplex it feels really far no matter how clear the roads are... the distance practically doubles when you make the drive home, after the show, late late at night. 

We were last, Hammel was first. He did basically the same set as the night before. That is not a complaint. That fucker is still killing it after all of these years. Still at the top of his game. No way to complain about that. 

Slobberbone did the same in the middle slot. KILLIN IT!! 

Since it’s their hometown club the majority of folks there were out to see them. So by the time we went on it was pretty thin... that happened last year when we played there with them. Oh well. It’s not like we are gonna cheat on our set and play half assed. Too dumb to know how. 

Near the end we did “Canada” and half way through I noticed a woman with a Rush shirt on! After she told me she was VERY happy. They love that Canadian rock everywhere!

Last night the Hickoids were at the Buzzmill in San Marcos. We were last on a bill of three. I got there after Hammel On Trial had already started. He was second....  chronic I tell ya. 

Hammel did his usual kill it thing. That dude is a machine, his right arm is a fucking piston. Pretty amazing.  And it’s been that way for 25+ years!!

We went up and had a pretty wild set. Nothing specific happened, it was just one of those totally unhinged shows that goes all over the place and (somehow) still stays focused.  We do that. 

And speaking of stuff we do, we ended the night with “The New Canadian Leaf Leaf Rag”. Five Canadian rock tunes mashed together in a ridiculous way. We haven’t played it live since we were in Canada last year and we kinda pulled it off with no major fuckups. 

Dentin tomorrow!
