THIS IS A REOCCURRING PIECE HERE ON NINEBULLETS WHERE WE GET A TRAVELING ARTIST TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THEIR FAVORITE MUSIC THEY FOND WHILE OUT ON THE ROAD. TODAY’S PIECE COMES FROM ME MICHAEL DEAN DAMRON OF I CAN LICK ANY SONOFABITCH IN THE HOUSE. SO, TAKE IT AWAY MIKE:
Well here goes…3 bands or artists I discovered on the road after being give a CD after the show after we played together. There are so many; a few great ones, a mess of good ones and a bunch of forgettable ones. Then, there are the ones you become buddies with.
#1 “The Wall Against our Back“, Two Cow Garage:
We (Icanlickanysob) met Two Cow Garage in 04..was it 04? Maybe 03 in Chicago. We were lucky enough to have gotten a show on the last Slobberbone tour..I think Micah had just turned 21 and we ran into each other and just kind of knew each other. Us and them…we (SOB) opened the show and threw our guts on the floor..The place was packed, I was unprepared for what I was about to see and become a lifelong fan of..2 Cow. They smoked our ass that night which was no easy feat back then. We hung out, got to visit, and traded CDs. They gave us “The Wall Against Our Back” I still listen to it.
My favorite tracks:
# 2 “Hey Buddies“, Drag the River:
We met Drag the River in Boise in 04 also I think. I had no idea who All was or anything about Drag except my friend in Portland, Dewey from Red Hills loved em…Jon gave me a copy of “Hey Buddies” the last night of a 5 day tour. I’ve been a fan and friend every since.
My favorite tracks:
#3 “Nobody’s Darlings“, Lucero:
Played two shows with Lucero in Tennesse. One in Memphis. One in Nashville. The Nashville night was nuts and very hazy. My liver turned to mush. Ben and I drank Jager and kind of threw up on each other..wait maybe that was the Memphis night, anyway, Bill, Lucero’s merch man kicked us down Nobody’s Darlings. Still my favorite Lucero record.
