The last video they showed was a live performance by the band 'Mighty Blue Kings'. They played a really SWEET slow strolling blues number called "Baby put your hands in mine". I heard of this band before, but thought they were just another one of those corny (every song is the same) rip-off neo swing bands. And didn't they open for BOF or something. I don't know about there other songs, but that was one sweet blues. And like Louis, Duke, and just about everybody else that mattered said "There aint nothing higher than the blues" ......MMMM HMMMM >> BOF opened for them in Milwaulkee on the 24th. Andrew and Kevin are going to be interviewed tonight (sunday) at 7:30 on 93.1 WXRT in Chicago. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 29 Aug 1999 10:10:58 PDT From: "Ryan Sargent" Subject: Re: the-landing-digest V2 #199 >BOF opened for them in Milwaulkee on the 24th.

Got to have 'em both, boys and girls. But if I have to, I'll take Oh, the Grandeur on the island along with my gin tonic fixins, juggling apparatus, and Shakespeare plays.

One thing, i met a guy while down there. ironically enough he sort of "picked me up" by mentioning his mom knew Jimbo (i was wearing an SNZ shirt). His mom is Judy Woodall, who fronts "Judy Woodall's Mule Train" and they played at all the barn dances this year. SO we had a very packed-together week, fell in love, blah blah. the exciting part (for y'all) is that i got to go to his mom's house for dinner. She has a big farm house on the outskirts of Hilsborough, and in that house is a recording studio. and Jimbo has recorded there! In fact, i think he's doing some knockdown society stuff there. Her house is awesome. there's all these instruments all over the place. I guess Jimbo was over there recording on friday. She said she'd get me an autograph. hehehe. but the COOLEST thing is that she is also tight with Katherine, and since Judy's singer quit the band, she has been looking for people to help fill in and sing on her new album. She told me that Katherine will be singing one of her (Judy's) songs on the new album, so YAY!!!! I'm going to try to get some recordings so i can actually check this stuff out. Another person she's tight with is Greg from Hobex. I saw Hobex for the first time the night i left, Saturday, at the Cat's Cradle. The opening band was The Carbines, and they're a good country-billy band led by this little blonde girl that can WAIL. I mean, that voice comes from somewhere deep inside. she sounds like Patsy Cline. Hobex. Wow. they are one of the funkiest, grooviest bands i've ever seen. Greg is this little cherubic white guy (like a tiny version of Andy Richter) and he sounds like marvin gaye. In fact, they did 2 or 3 marvin gaye tunes in the set. Unfortunately, none of the Zippers were at the show (i tried to get Ken to come but he said he was rehearsing "some horrible rock and roll shit" that night with glen ghram). If you haven't gotten "Back on the 90's" yet, i reccomend it. it's their last release, and i think all of the Zippers except maybe Stu and Katherine appear on the album. and of course, you can buy it from Wash Jones. hehe www.personal.kent.edu/~jbrandt/store/store.html I got to meet Greg after the show. I guess he's played slide guitar with Mule Train so Judy introduced me. He was wearing this black shirt that said "Jas. Mathus and his Knockdown Society" and "North Mississippi All Stars" and i wanted to buy it from him, but it was all worn out. he said he stole it from Jim cuz he's in the band (KDS). Bastard! I guess they're going to try to plan some more barn dances for the fall. One of us has to get down there sometime!!! (of course, i am not adverse to going down there again. hehe) HOWEVER, if you're looking for something wild to do for Labor Day weekend, i have this flyer here that you might be interested in: ______________________________________________________ Live Wire Productions Presents VIVE L'ANARCHY! at the CHICKEN SHACK Labor Day Weekend Sept. 4&5 Featuring...
