Sunburn

Post by Aaron
Aaron Traffas

Had some great times back home this weekend. Big thanks to everyone who came out on Friday night to the Plum Thicket in Kiowa, including the SC Telcom crew.

Saturday saw the concert in Medicine Lodge at the rodeo grounds. Always fun to catch up with our friends the Blaine Younger Band – and a little refreshing to not have to worry about running sound for once. Caught Blaine’s new CD “Red Line” – good stuff. It was also nice to finally get to hear Ricky Fugitt.

Spent today fencing – had to try out my new rapier – and have a magnificent sunburn to prove it.

Next show is at RC McGraws on May 8.

I’ve been playing music for about 15 years. In that time, I’ve only played thrice in my home town of Sharon. Tomorrow will be my fourth show in Sharon but my first at the renowned Blue Goose.

We had a great show last weekend in Lawrence, but Mason broke his wrist and will be sitting out for a while. Tomorrow’s show marks the first of three weekends of music in a row.

New stuff

Post by Mason
Mason Powell

Hey, all, I haven’t posted in a while so I wanted to update you all with the new hap’s in my life. Shoulder is healing up nicely, I just moved out of my old house and into another that is in Larry-town. No practice space in the new place but that just means that I need to get out and play more. We’ve got a lot of shows coming in April so hang on because it’s going to be awesome!

So, I just purchased Brant Bjork’s new album and it’s pretty damn good. It just dropped in the States today so go out and have a listen. The album is called “Gods and Goddesses” and will peel the paint off your walls.

If you’re anywhere near McPherson on Friday, come out to Z’s club. Chris Goering and I will be playing an acoustic song-swap. Here’s the related post.

See you on Friday.

Shoulder update

Post by Mason
Mason Powell

Hey, all, just an update about the shoulder. Had an MRI done and the doc found torn cartilage and ligaments. I’m going to be down for about another week but I can start slowly building my strength playing after that. No surgery yet, we’ll see how this pans out in a few weeks.
Also, be sure and watch the calendar for Aaron’s acoustic shows. February 20th Aaron and Trevor Burgess will be playing a song swap at Bobby T’s. Be sure and make it out to that, it’ll be a good time.

Until next time,

Mason

Show update

Post by Mason
Mason Powell

Hi, all, just popping in to give everyone the skinny on our shows and other topics. I recently just had to cancel our show at the Granada in Lawrence. I have done myself in this time by dislocating my shoulder (really badly). I have an appointment with the surgeon on Feb. 10th so we’ll see what happens after that. Until then I’m not really supposed to use it much. I’m still considering playing the show on Saturday in Manhattan but I’ve got to wait and see how I feel by then.  Send me some good vibes because I could use them.

On a better note, I have some video from a Ween tribute night that we recently played. Video turned out to be pretty good. Maybe I can talk Aaron into posting a couple of clips on the website, we’ll see.

Well, I’m going to work on getting healed up as soon as I can so that we can get back to booking shows.

Cheers,

Mason
