The Nacs are masters of their trade...
This past weekend LBP played to one of the best crowds ever. I must say thanks to all who were in attendance for making us feel welcome and bringing the energy that fueled our 4 and a half hour music spree. The whole trip was smooth as silk for us. Bo, our gracious host, set us up at his chateau after the party was done. Some of us slept the night away in comfortable beds while others continued to kiss their Mexican cousins again and again…and still others went to
IHOP to sack their pancake palace. All in all it was a killer gig and we look forward to similar bookings in the future. Speaking of future NYE is around the corner and tickets are still available through Tyson booking (tysonstargel@hotmail.com). For the holidays LBP will be busy with family and work for the most part. Conrad will be going to see his family, Marty will be working some OT at
Eatzi’s, Marc will be with his lady more than likely, Phyve will be doing whatever it is Phyve does, and I’ll be heading back to Louisiana to do my thing. This’ll be the last update of the year so I wish everyone well and hope to see you NYE @ Dean’s. Merry
Christmas/
Hanukkah/
Kwanzaa and a happy
new year to all you guys.
NYE is on and MMW may have reason to come to Houston!
As stated in our email we are on for NYE! Our second annual NYE bash @
Dean's will be quite an event and if you look at some of the pictures of last years soiree you'll know I'm not lying. I would suggest to everyone to contact our boy Tyson (tysonstargel@hotmail.com) and buy your tickets early, or if you are wise beyond your years you can test your skills with Marc (marc@nrbhtx.com). He offers a way to get tickets by asking for Phish data that could take lifetimes to find out...or 10 min at any
Phish fansite. By naming three Phish related side projects you could win free tickets. Take advantage of this simple task and you may cross the
bridge of death into the land of Groovatopia this NYE. I received an email from our good friends
Drop Trio recently informing us that
Madeski Martin and Wood, the Gods of the groove, are inquiring about a city to come jam out in. I implore you all to email them and demand they come here to Houston. And while your at it demand that LBP and Drop Trio open for them. For those of you who aren't hip to the sounds of MMW I suggest you pick up their
Shack Man album...some of the best funk instrumentation I have ever heard. It would be a most pleasant
stocking stuffer for any funkaholics you may know.
Peace out,
Beatty
Have a holly jolly Christmas
Feliz Navidad and all that jazz....it's Christmas time in H town! This week in LBP history was bland and unproductive. The Thanksgiving holidays left us
slow to jump back into our twice a week practice routine. Luckily we have a gig December the 20th to motivate our lazy butts for the next few weeks. We'll be playing in Nacogdoches, or you may call it by its native name Sac-a-roaches. Although rich with that underground culture Nacogoches seems to have culture beyond that. The city is known to be the oldest city in TX, home to a Paleolithic settlement, the cradle of TX liberty and producer of the states first oil well. You can read all about that jazz
here. I have been told by a future
high government official that the kids at Stephen F. Austin know how to throw down a good party as well. The venue is
Banta Creek Hall around 9:30/10ish. As always you can expect those with the inclination to hear our funked up syncopation...the LBP crew can guarantee that.
Adios
