Before I say anything else, I got to give a shout of to the RAGING FLOWERS, who performed as part of the “Be in the Band” program, sponsored by Bluesfest and organized by Rockland Music. The RAGING FLOWERS features none other than Peyts’ kid, Irelind, on guitar; they performed along with four other bands this past Saturday, June 19th, on the same stage we had the pleasure of gracing at L’Escale, right here in Rockland. This show was a great chance to support local musicians, young bands and programs in our community. I don’t want to get all fluffy about it, but it’s a really cool deal, and I really enjoyed seeing them play.
BONJOUR!
Alright, let’s start this one off with something that we have all considered at some point in time. As a matter of fact, this crosses my mind on a regular basis. Fact: at some point, one of our ancestors saw a chicken, proceeded to watch it lay an egg, and told himself, “That white sphere that just came out of that thing’s ass… I’m gonna put that in my mouth.” Also consider that at some point, another ancestor (or perhaps the same one, I really don’t know) saw the huge mass of flesh that is a cow, saw that pinkish sack under it that is the udder, and thought to himself “I’m gonna squeeze the juice out of that and drink it.”
So, once more, I know what you are thinking. You’re thinking, “What the fuck is this guy talking about. Last time, it was Megan Fox’s dick, now this shit?” Keep reading, and I’ll try to make sense out of it.
Firstly, I’d like to address something concerning these blogs. They have been quite informal, but at the same time, they have been teasing more than pleasing. I’ve decided that from now on, I will use these short texts to give you more inside information, rather than general directions as to where the band is heading. I was trying to keep things under wraps with the big changes in the band, but now that we are back on track, I can be more open about details.
As a second point of interest, I would like to thank the fans of the Internet. Since last time, we have reached 400+ fans on Facebook, and 2000+ visits on this website. You guys fucking rock. Now go and tell your friends.
Alright, time to get dirty. If you haven’t heard, S.o.H has a show coming up. It’s not just any show either. It’s a Rockland show. It’s our first show with Rob. It’s the first show where you will see more original music than you will see covers, and the covers you will see will be made into our style of music. It’s the first show where you will find merchandise, mainly our new S.o.H shirts. IT’S A SHOW YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS! SATURDAY JULY 24TH, 8:30PM @ ROCKLAND MUSIC, WITH SPECIAL GUESTS “THE TREES.” With that said, we have begun selling tickets to those who are our fans on Facebook, Twitter followers, or Subscribers to our newsletter... these people comprise the S.o.H ARMY. And guess what? THE SHOW IS ALREADY OVER HALF SOLD OUT!
Which brings me to drinking cow juice: It’s really special to see how the people of Rockland and the surrounding areas are adventurous, curious creatures. Even though we have not released any content with Rob (which has been to keep the suspense up), you crazy people are willing to step up to the plate, and drink our milk. I’ll tell you something though, you won’t be disappointed. It’s gonna be like discovering a cow that produces Jack Daniels or beer. I try to be a modest individual, but I gotta say... I’m very excited to present S.o.H in its final state to you all. I think it’s going to be really special. Once again, thank you for milkin’ us.
So we’ve been getting ready for the show. I can tell you right now that this specific set will see us unleash 8 original songs. I say 8 even though you have heard 3 already if you attended our L’Escale show, but don’t be fooled: you won’t recognize those songs. We’ve reworked them as a group, making them into something I’m proud, and the band is proud, to call our own brand of music. As for the “new new” songs, I don’t want to give you too much information and ruin the surprise. What I can say is that we will be singing songs about whiskey, songs that have to do with the band name, songs about those people who seem to be artificial, and songs about other individuals that hide but pass judgment. In terms of direction, we are getting into some heavy stuff, not as much lyrically, as we are in terms of style and energy. Everyone is having fun again, and it really shows in the music.
On top of that, don’t forget that we will have shirts at the show. We held a presale, and I’m still in shock about how many orders we got. I won’t give the exact number, but it destroyed our expectations. With that said, you will be able to get them in a variety of sizes at the show, both for men and women. Speaking of merchandise, I have a question for you all, and I would like for you guys to answer. We are thinking of making either S.o.H stickers, or those buttons with pins that you can put on backpacks. What I want to know is: which one do you guys think we should make, and what should be on them?
Also, I have to give a shout to our new logo, Nil Blanc, who will be working hard by decorating the front of our shirts. As you have noticed, we sorta ran over him with a car. Don’t worry though, he’s alright. But with that comes another question. Nil is gonna be an ever changing character, and I want to know: what would you have Nil do next? Let me know in the comments.
So what does the future hold for S.o.H beyond adding merchandise to our inventory and the show in Rockland? Well, the band is talking right now about hitting the Ottawa scene shortly. That means you cool people from the big city will be able to catch us simply by riding the bus, in locations that would not only allow, but encourage the consumption of alcoholic beverages such as beer and spirits. We have also been talking, within this concept of venturing to Ottawa, about performing some of our music acoustically. In honesty, I think this is the result of the band really starting to form chemistry with Rob in the lineup, and feeling more confident about stepping outside the box. Other than that, we are also eyeballing a show in a close by location to Ottawa, to play an open air, outdoor gig for charity. There are also whispers of a demo in the works, to get some of our songs recorded in proper format, for your enjoyment. Once more, I’m not giving too many details, but we are looking at it. We’ll keep you posted as things develop.
That concludes everything I had to say. Thanks for checking in, don’t forget to do so on a regular basis, and we hope to see you all at the show Saturday July 24th @ Rockland Music. Also, don’t forget to check out the RAGING FLOWERS!
Peace,
Phil
