Wanted: Band Groupies
Nov 12, 2009 Gigs
First, let me introduce the band. On bass guitar, we have the amazing Connor Shaw. Back there on the drums, we have the incredible Jeff Hall (a.k.a. “The Machine”). Up front, as you all know, is Stev Skye. These guys rocked it at Cooperstown last night. Jeff even broke the snare stand on the house drum kit and played the set with the damn thing in his lap! Epic, I say, which only makes the rest of this story that much sadder. Keep reading. . .
The Band: Connor, Stev and Jeff. And somewhere in this picture, I've hidden Jimi. . .look closely. Can you find her?
As I mentioned, we were at the event last night down at Alice Cooperstown in Phoenix and after the set, I noticed that we had a major, major problem. Take a look at this picture (below). Can you see what’s missing?
Look at these faces. Drummers and Bassists should not have to live like this. Please help us find groupies for the band. It's the least we can do.
That’s right. No groupies. I mean, W T F ???
What, exactly, does a bass player and/or drummer have to do to get some lovely ladies hanging all over them after a gig? Seriously people. We have problems. Big problems. What does it say about the state of our rock and roll nation if two of our finest can’t have groupies? This is NOT going to look good on the E! True Hollywood Story of the Stev Skye band. NOT good AT ALL!
How can you expect to have a good E! True Hollywood Story about the band without a gaggle of groupies to tell the tales of outrageous parties, trashed hotel rooms, and urban rock legends? Rehab and creative differences just don’t cut it on the E! network anymore. They’re just not good enough.
We need to make it our mission as fans of the band to get groupies out to the gigs. The band needs us, people. We can’t have this. It’s a travesty!
So we need to assemble. We need to organize. We need a name. The fans of the “hottest band in the world. . .KISS” are known as the Kiss Army. What name will we take? We could be the “Skye Watchers” but that’s a geeky astronomy reference which is probably only funny to me since I love astronomy. If we go with “Skye Walkers” I will more than likely get a cease-and-desist letter from George Lucas. So what do we do? What do we call ourselves?
I put it to you. We need to name our fan club and we need to come together to bring groupies into the mix. Our boys are counting on us!
THIS JUST IN. . .The YouTube Video of the show last night! Enjoy!
