the lead singer of the band
Making Movies is a good friend of mine, and i've grown to know the band, and watched a lot of their shows in different incarnations. they began doing a cover band gig (minus their latin percussionist) at a bar in downtown, and i have gone and watched that many a times. that band is called
The Dub Kings.
during one of those times about a year ago, i was invited on stage to perform Bulls on Parade, and it was nothing short of epic. we had the hole place (50+) freaking out, on their knees, crying and shit. this happened a few more times, and then we moved onto two songs (with the most recent addition of Killin' in the Name).
after the last time we did this, the bassist Nic (drummer who's been playing with portugalwillie and i) suggested we do an entire set, maybe jokingly. it all sounded like a grand idea at the time because, well, i was drunk as piss and rowdy anyhow.
a few weeks later, a date, and a possible setlist arrived in my inbox, and we just hashed out some details today. Ha! Fruition! it's going to be pretty fun, i have a feeling.
