DEA - For The Last Time?
We roadtripped over to Gruene on Friday for what may well be the last Dead End Angels show.
It's a weird deal.
As a fan, I have trouble believing accepting that a band with such a unique, polished sound is just gonna shut it down. Especially before they put together a second CD. Now that they finally know how to play and write and harmonize and travel together (and maybe even get on each other's nerves a little), it just seems like a perfect time to put together that second CD and play decent listening venues.
But, that's the pushy fan in me speaking.
The only thing I know for sure is that guitarist Rick Poss is going to be playing with Greg Trooper at the Mucky Duck on February 23, and I'll be there to see it. That should be good. But I really hope to hear him playing DEA songs again at some point (and so does he, he told me Friday).
In any case, thank to our friends for another show worth roadtripping for, and for three+ years of good tunes and good times. Whatever the future holds, I've gotten some great live recordings and some good musician-friends outta the deal. That's pretty good.
Of course, if the future holds a second CD after a hiatus, that would be best. I mean, Scott DID tell the Gruene crowd "we'll see ya again soon" at the end of the show. It's documented.... :)

Rats. Just when Camille and I signed on to do a one-year stint in Austin and were looking forward to seeing them play again. Were it not for DEA, we probably never would have gotten together.
Any idea what Scott is planning to do next?

Austin? Cool.
Well, you can certainly pester the guys for regular "reunion" shows. They're probably going to get tired of hearing it from me. :)
