The Fat Fridays band - upscale classic rock

We're rolling into Edison this weekend. It'll be oysterful.

They have literally prevented us from becoming Great Again.

If someone today STILL self-identifies as republican, you have to ask yourself WHY? To get in on the grift before it's too late? Because they have the minimum complement of brain cells? That they somehow think the party still has credibility? Vote 'em all out; it's the only way. Easiest ballot ever.

Imagine being imprisoned for jaywalking. OK, gas prices, but don't forget that we now have concentration camps filled with the hardest-working people in America. And maybe a few criminals. Remember, being undocumented in America is still only a misdemeanor. Now imagine being tortured for jaywalking.

We've been Fattening other stages for almost three months, but we're back two Mondays in a row, celebrating our ten year anniversary at the casino. We'll have the "Fat Shot Horns" with us for both Mondays, as saxman Keith Stone joins Mark Kelly, our angel of the woodwinds. Free Labor Day brat-dogs!

This Sunday, we'll crank it ALL the way up ... exactly one decibel below the legal limit. If anybody asks. It was a whole thing.

Maybe Norway hasn't had Fauxscist propaganda scrolling in every bar and airport for the past 30 years.

And leaders with the decorum of seagulls.

"... fed officials admit that $7.5B reduction in clean energy funding based solely on whether states had voted for Kamala Harris. In contrast, the administration funded grants for states that had backed trump, though the Energy Department had recommended they be cancelled." - Heather Cox Richardson

"Snakes. Why does it have to be snakes?" - Indiana Jones

An award-winning photo (#19) from our video wall, entitled "Outpost."

Drunk uncle Nancy sees "transgenic mice," ignores the spelling, rails on about transgender mice. All the drunks at the bar began to sing along. Maybe look it up? Transgenics alters genomes, not genders; arguably worse, but a common technique used on mice in research labs to test drug effectiveness

We don't have a video wall at the Rockfish tonight in Anacortes, 7:30-10, and it's way past tulip season. But what the hey ... this video-wall image #19 is a field at Tulip Town entitled "popcorn." Which you had to eat a whole lot of, if you were patiently watching the front of the Kennedy Center.

We had great fun at the Old Edison on Saturday, and at the Anacortes Waterfront festival on Sunday. Next stop on the tour ... right down the road a piece at the Rockfish Grill, Saturday June 13 7:30pm in Anacortes.

Kidnapping the hardest-working people in America.

I'll be singing "Such a Night" tonight at the Old Edison in Bow/Edison, WA. The good Dr. is in heavy rotation at my house.

Cool, I can dig some Gaga. Maybe the guy just likes the design. Nah, he probably knows. But you have to wonder what those Chinese-character t-shirts and tattoos Americans wear are really saying.

No matter where you put them, they are going to accelerate global warming exponentially. 10,000 new data centers are expected by 2030. If built, the one in Utah is expected to raise local temperatures by 28 degrees at night, transforming a semi-arid climate into a desert.

This Saturday, we rock the Old Edison, with special guest Cary Stevens from The Atlantics on drums.

Good luck to Mary Ellen and the Band today. Should be interesting this afternoon. Dueling decibel meters, dancers, and the Seattle press.

Every day the deficit grows You spend more than you own Papa always said to me "Keep a close eye on your authority" You say that you care I was unaware You say that you care I was unaware All you do is push, pull, tear We can't stretch it any farther -- Allen Stone, "Unaware"

The Fat Fridays band will NOT be performing at the Great American State Fair. Thank you for your lack of attention to this matter. Not that we were invited or anything.

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2

Remember when we used to care about pollution? Seems so long ago.

I doubt that J.D. Souther wrote this back in 1975 with you-know-who in mind, but the chorus sure resonates. "You can't sleep at night in a solid gold room." youtu.be/Vk0RQkBWk3w?...

OK, perfect timing. We just released a new CD. Finger on the pulse, I tell ya! www.msn.com/en-us/news/t...

The new CD was released into the wild on May the fourth, and the streamers and downloaders are catching up. It's availbale now on YouTube. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

May the Fat be with you on Monday. Come by the casino, we're "soft-releasing" our new CD! Whatever that means. And yes, we literally start playing classic rock for dancing at 11am.

OK, change of plans. THIS is the cover art for the new CD. I mean, really this time.

This moody photo of Mount Baker in Washington State, taken by an award-winning local photographer, is the cover art for our next record.

We're starting recording sessions tomorrow, so 15 or 20 songs should be extra tight at the next gig.

Our next show will be our 70th at the casino. They just hired a super new sound engineer, Kenneth, who dare I say, really knows the frequencies.

Remember "happenings?" Wikipedia says "Happenings are difficult to describe," because anything that 'happens" can be one. We won't be putting on love beads or disco boots for ours, but if you happen to join us, remember ... early bird gets a table!
