My most memorable Embalmed show was in a barn at the "Dirt Soldiers" raceway. It started to rain and everyone crowded into the barn...many mud covered and moshing... My band at the time played many shows with the band, but this one has stuck with me more than the others.

I almost hate to admit it, but... I saw them live too and I have to agree with Bert/Evil, worst show I've been to. At the time, I lived a mile away from the Bryce Jordan and some friends had extra tickets. I never really cared for them either way...never owned an album, but never cared to pick one u...

Sounds great.. I'm planning on bringing my son. This made me think... When I was eight years old my mom's boyfriend gave me a "45" of a local band at the time, "The Front". It only had two songs on it, but I wore it out. Twenty years later, while on a Backyard Rocker special, I m...

Good concept and good ideas. These type of events are hard to organize though. Ask theundergroundtv and Jaybird. There are always many unexpected issue's and its always hard to get people out.

"PT Cruiser" is a good wedding band. They play a big mix from the 60's to the present. The frontman is a very good wedding "host" too ("Presenting to you for the first time Mr. and Mrs..........") They wore tuxedo's, etc... (814) 674-8146

We used to play at a place in Harrisburg that required us to play two, hour long, sets with a one hour break in between. They wanted it "on the dot" to. The thing about, the place was really happening and the hour went really quick.

John Charney, of Carrolltown, gives lessons out of his home. He is a very good instructor, as well as an extreemly good guitar player. Last time I talked to him he was teaching close to 20 students. You could reach him through his band page "John Charney and White Mojo".

My Band was to play there last month.

No one called us... Some guys in the band play for a living, so that sucks...

Even though I've never really cared for the name, we'll probably end up keeping it. Still not sure though. What do you think of FIVE X ZEN (X as in multiplication), Red Hot Minute or GrungeBob.

Name Changes

Hey, My band and I are considering changing our name. We've been High Tide for about 7 years. We had a change in our line up about 2 years ago and we changed the spelling to Hi Tyde. We should have changed it then. The thing is that there are at least 7 other bands called High Tide, with various spe...
