I just got done singing Burning Time about twenty times.
That young mother f could really sing. I hate him.
But We (Last Crack) are scheduled to play a solid 40 minutes @ the Bur Oak May 4th, at approximately 4pm exclusively for you, and the benefit for brother Rökker.
In my estimation, this is a ‘local sacred show.’
May 4, Sunday, noon to 5 pm, Bur Oak, Madison:
Find that if desired.

Early band pic from our first real jam space that we called the “Sinister Funkhouse”. It was a simple storage locker with no heat or air conditioning but it at least had electricity and it only cost us $50 per month. We wrote most of our first album there.

Thanks Travis Adams for sharing this photo, it brings back so many memories. Buddo filled the walls of that place with so many of our song lyrics and other crazy rants. People used to pull up their cars outside, drink beers and watch us jam. Wish we had more photos from that era.
