Bohemian Nights @ New West Fest Day 2

Chris K w short hair post BoNi 2014It’s Tuesday.  The weekend is done.  I’m slowly recovering.  Takes longer to recover now it seems.

Yes, I cut my hair.  Sorry to say the drugs I took to cure the hepatitis pretty much destroyed my hair.  I also took the advice of a friend (hey Rob) … LOL … my wife hates it … my kids and many of my friends on FB love it.  It feels healthy to me.  I’m all good.

Love this shot captured by the Coloradoan …. long live the hair.

Bohemian Nights @ New West Fest – Day One

Day one is in the books.  great to hang with some great folks yesterday at Bohemian Nights at New West Fest.  Joe Johnson (playing today), Jeremy Lawton, Nick Duarte, Alysia Kraft, Ansel Foxley, Patti Fiasco, Post Paradise, Big Head Todd and the Monsters …. damn what a fun time … Record crowds for Big Head Todd & the Monsters.  The main venue shut off at just shy of 7000, and the secondary simulcast venues were at near capacity as well, with another several thousand left to wonder around, enjoying the music from “outside” the room.  Here’s a taste of the main stage action from Friday … Full slate today … cya at the show.

 

 

subdudes to appear in Colorado despite death of original member

A successful reunion show this past March rekindled a fire that hadn’t been present since the mid 90s, when Coloradans John Magnie and Steve Amedee rejoined Tommy Malone and Johnny Ray Allen, as the original founding members of the subdudes.  This weekend, fans where heartbroken to learn that Johnny Ray Allen passed away on Friday morning at his home in New Orleans.  No cause of death was listed.   An autopsy was scheduled for Monday, August 11.

I spoke with John Magnie Monday night and he confirmed that the remaining members of the band will perform at upcoming shows in Colorado, including Bohemian Nights at New West Fest.  Former tour manager and bassist/vocalist Tim Cook will rejoin the band for their in-state appearances.  Only their scheduled Thursday night appearance in Fruita was canceled.
