Things You Don't Expect To Hear At A DEA Show
Here's something I never expected to hear before a show by my friends in the Dead End Angels:
Rick's not playing with us tonight. He's playing with Susan Gibson.
Okay, funny joke guys, you got me. Rick Poss can come on out and play now.
Except there was no Rickenbacker set up on stage. No electric guitar at all. They weren't kidding.
They had a couple of guest guitarists sit in, and it was a good time. It's always a good time in Gruene/New Braunfels, plus the beer was cold, we were among friends, and Scott's songs are pretty darn good played by whomever.
Apparently, there was some (major) miscommunication on scheduling. I hope. It would be a shame if Rick Poss has departed the band, as he brings a nice sound to it. I'm betting on band miscommunication and not band schism.
We'll see.
Up next: Randy Rogers on Tuesday, and Scott Miller on Thursday.

Her website said that Poss played with her at an event in New Braunfels. I hope it was just a one-time deal.

Well the DEA bass player was playing with Susan last month, so maybe she's bringing em over one at a time.. and with luck at the end we'll have the Groobees again.. one could hope.

It's a little surreal.
I actually like the DEA sound. Much more manly. I'd like to see them push that sound forward. We'll see, I guess.

Not knocking the DEA sound at all. But I did like the harmony of Scott and Susan a lot as well. Either way I miss Gary Wayne and his ear to ear smile while bouncing up and down playing his dice knobbed guitar. I like Poss a lot though, but you'll never get Poss to sing Catyetti Spagetti or I'm Gary Wayne Dammit.
As you say we'll see what happens with DEA, hopefully Scott will start doing some more dates soon. And if Poss is playing that night with Susan, he'll just have to fly Gary Wayne down from Amarillo to fill in.. yeah that's the ticket.

I wish satyr had a music related blog/website (hint, hint).

A blog? oh no, way to much responsibility. I'll leave that to the more industrious folks like Kevin here.
