-This was a very cool night on so many levels. It was my 1st time seeing Zadoc...and the Nightmare live. The 1st time I heard about the band was when I got my 1st computer in 2000. I believe it was CNYMusic.com-one of the 1st sites I hit. For some reason,I scrolled down to the bottom and started with the Z bands. I was pleasently surprised to see a band with a strong group image-always been partial to bands like that. I remember thinking that I wanted to go see this band live,but between being in Spider Babys,being married, my wonderful "job" at the time, and trying to transform the idea of CAROLINE BLUE into reality, I never did get to see the band live.
-Shift to 2003. Spider Babys is long gone,marriage exploded,got a better job w/ waaayyy better hours,and CAROLINE BLUE is going strong. Around June I contacted Bleachers in regards to doing a Halloween show with CB doing a Tribute to KISS. Craig (Muzzlestamp) mentioned Zadoc...and the Nightmare (ZATN) being on the bill and that was cool with me. I did surf the site a few times,but only briefly. With all the drama happening at the time in CB & my personal life,I didn't have much time to really check things out.
-If I remember right,the 1st time I actually talked w/ anyone from the band was on the day of the show. I believe Craig was handling all the talks between bands. Our 2 bands met outside the side door and it was immediately comfortable. Very friendly and down to earth people. CB went on 1st and we did our KISS thing. Usually after we play at any show,I go into what my band calls-"Promotion Fever"-taking pics of people,trying to get them on the mailing list,and basically just being open with anyone who wants to talk. I'm listening to the bands playing but I'm also doing other things. I made a point to actually stop all that at times and totally focus on ZATN onstage. As impressed as I was with their image,I was equally impressed with their songs. Great riffs,great melodies,great songs. Afterwards I remember talking with the band for quite awhile and getting to know them and their extended family better. Although I have been invited to some other ZATN shows this year,I unfortunately was unable to go (Zadoc knows why). However,we have kept in contact since 10/31/03 and ,at some point,CB & ZATN WILL be doing some shows together-something that I'm looking forward to very much.
-Sorry if I was alittle longwinded on this but hey-it's me! ;D
