Beale St. Blast!

This weekend's gig at the Beale St. Bar was pretty dang awesome! We packed the little joynt and had a lot of fun up there playing for our beloved audience. The stage was a little tight, which cut down on our dance move shenanigans. I kept stepping on the mic stand that was aimed at Pmastre's kick drum. The sound system was basic and provided just what we needed, nothing more nothing less. OK maybe one thing less- the second floor monitor was in the shop so I had to share with OP.

When we started up with Groove, all the barstools in the place were taken, and towards the end of the song it was standing room only. It is always a treat and a real motivator to look out into the crowd and see faces lined up as far as the back wall. And when posing the question "How's everybody doin' tonight?" returns a roar of screams, whistles, and whoops, we get even more fired up to deliver a quality show.

Everything clicked that night- no technical difficulties, no flubbed lines, no missed notes (OK maybe there were a couple), and no dead spots! We kept the show rolling, though I was a tad disappointed that I did not get to use one of my one-liners and have Pmastre follow up with a rim shot.

Sack's bass lines were right on, and he was grooving in his corner as if playing in a dance trance. Ollie's vocals were excellent as usual as he took center stage and wooed the crowd. Pmastre's and his vintage Ludwig kit sounded tighter than a (insert R-rated metaphor here). Me, I just played the PRS to the best of my ability, though I felt that my delay pedal just did not sound right. More tweaking to be done.

Solcraft followed with their barrage of hard rock melodies that are featured on the CD that they released that night. Always a pleasure to share the stage. And amps. And drums. We pretty much backlined the show! I didn't mind as I got to hear my Mesa Rectoverb in action, and from where I stood in the crowd, it sounded sweeeet!

Thanks to all you die hards that came out to see us. We are working on some new material, and will debut a couple of more songs at the next show. Which is still TBA. In the meantime, enjoy the video below!

April 18, Beale St Bar & Grill!

Hey 'BuckerBusters!

We will be playing at the Beale St. Bar & Grill in San Francisco on Saturday, April 18th. Time to be announced, but I'm pretty sure it will be around 9PM or later.

We are going to be supporting our good friends Solcraft for their CD release party! You may have seen us play with these guys before, and they rock!

Pencil us in and I'll get back with more details!

See you all soon!

Nu Tunes

We are between gigs right now, and are taking this opportunity to write and rehearse some new tunes. We are hoping to bring our music to the next level. May not be a quantum leap, but we are definitely working on bringing more musicianship to the overall flavor of our sound.

Stay tuned, and keep an eye out for our videos on YouTube, we may just be posting rehearsal sneak peeks of our new material!

Bottom Of The Hill 01/27/09

Our last gig at the Bottom Of The Hill was just awesome. Great set, great crowd, and just great overall vibe. Thanks to Evolution Eden for putting together the show with us and Forget About Boston. Barrett, the sound tech, did a great job on the fly, as we did not have time to sound check. Big thanks to all of our friends and fans that came out to support us once again, and thanks to the followers of the other bands for sticking around to listen to us complete our set at 11PM on a Tuesday night!

Coming up next... Bottom Of The Hill!

Our good friends Evolution Eden invited us to rock the stage with them again at the Bottom of The Hill on January 27th! yea, it's a Tuesday night, but we will put on a show that will make your Wednesday morning hangover well worth it! More details to come!

MHB at the Rockit Room with Evolution Eden!

Our CD release was a hit, and we are coming back to the Rockit Room again to share the stage with our old friend Evolution Eden!

The MHB on KFOG

So Ollie is crusing down the road at around 3:45PM today and turns on his car stereo to hear "Go Ahead" already in progress. The levels seem a little bit off, so he goes to check the display and instead of "CD" it reads "104.5".

He checks the CD player only to find no MotherHumbuckers CD loaded. He switches back to 104.5 to catch the ending of the song and a fade into the Police's "Murder By Numbers". The Police are followed by Gavin Rosdale, etc, etc... If you check the KFOG playlist at 3:59 on 11/01/08 you will see that order of songs. So Rosalie must have slipped us in between Lucinda Williams at 3:52PM and the Police at 3:59PM. Makes sense since our "Go Ahead" is only 3:47 long and Lucinda's "Can't Let Go" is only 3:28 including fade in and fade out.

KFOG is a great supporter of local music, and we are sure glad they liked our track enough to air it! Props to Ollie for representin'!
