The story behind our "rumours"
A few months back we did a benefit show for Dax Pierson. A friend of ours, also a musician, who was badly injured in a van accident while on tour. Like most people in the music business, he had no medical insurance. So, troops rallied to see what we all could do to make a dent in the criminal amount of money they wanted for the wheelchair Dax now needs.
Over the last six months or so there have been Dax benefits across the US and Europe. For more info or if you would like to make a donation, please visit www.daxpierson.com
On May 5th 2005, Taikonaut, Bart Davenport, Mark Eitzel and us, Dirty Power played at the Eagle Tavern in San Francisco in support of Dax. Since we had a couple of shows booked around the same time, we decided to do something a little different, like covering the entire Fleetwood Mac "rumours" album. You might ask, "why rumours?" and I'd have to reply "why not?". If you know what Dirty Power sounds like already, then having us cover a Thin Lizzy or Ac/Dc or KISS album would be a little too expected, and thats no fun. Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours" was chosen because anytime Dirty Power went on a road trip, at least 3 of us would have a copy of that album with us. It was something we knew (sort of), we liked, and would have fun with.
I wanted to somehow document the show and Chris Xefos helped out tracking the whole show to 16 track ADAT. So, while Dirty Power have been working on our new record, I have also been working on mixing this live show. And when I say "live" show, I won't lie, I did quite a few overdubs. It's probably as live as KISS "alive!". Some out of tune guitars, crappy vocals, have been magically reduced through the wonders of technology. Actually, there are still plenty of **** ups, bum notes and flat vocals there for you to make fun of.
Enjoy!
.....I still want to make t-shirts with that album cover, but I think Jeff would probably kill me.
