WHISKEY DICK - FALLEN HEROES

 WHISKEY DICK - FALLEN HEROES

It's been over a decade now that I've been following these guys from Fort Worth in Texas.  Just two guys with their guitar and that's it.  They can entertain a crowd at a festival but their pep isn't any less when they play at a local bar.

Fallen Heroes is a song that was written as a tribute to Dimebag Darrel but it has given me consolation any time when I had to say goodbye to someone near to me.


Lyrics :

I have followed that lost highwayYears of pain have kept me awayYou opened my eyes to see the light of dayAnd I thank you you're here to stay
I drink to remember, I drink to forgetI drink for my heroes, I pour one for themI drink to remember, I drink to forgetI drink for my heroes, I pour one for themOne last time to say goodbyeOne last time to say goodbye, my fallen hero
You're guitar is my soulI still hear you playin' all night longI feel the wind blow and I know that your homeAnd I thank you so lets tie one on
I drink to remember, I drink to forgetI drink for my heroes, I pour one for themI drink to remember, I drink to forgetI drink for my heroes, I pour one for themOne last time to say goodbyeOne last time for Dime, my fallen hero
The road is long but I see the endA life thats free not controlled my friendA day apart we soon will seeTwo roads crossed and I'm glad this one was me
I drink to remember, I drink to forgetI drink for my heroes, I pour one for themI drink to remember, I drink to forgetI drink for my heroes, I pour one for himI drink to remember, I drink to forgetI drink for my heroes, I pour one for themOne last time to say goodbyeOne last time for Dime, my fallen hero

OFF THE GRID FESTIVAL

OFF THE GRID FESTIVAL Normally I write about a song that caught my attention or that has a special meaning to me but this article is a tribute to this small festival that I had the honor in attending in Croatia's capital Zagreb at the Vintage Industrial Bar This story actually starts in June 2022. While I was watching the amazing band L.H.D.  at the Trash'n'Burn festival in Croatia, I met some great people who were also in a band called Melewai . We started talking, drank some beers and after the festival we stayed in touch. From time to time they released a new song on Bandcamp and I just loved their songs. I promised them that whenever they would play their first live gig I would do my best to be there. And then the news came that Melewai was going to play at the Off The Grid festival, organised by L.H.D. and together with Sumski  and Psycho Mutants . So, keeping my promise, I was there on the 27th of December. Melewai opened the festival and a lot of people did not reall

 JERRY MOTOR - MARY Jerry Motor's latest single, "Mary," plunges listeners into a captivating musical experience that resonates with haunting melodies and pulsating rhythms. With a vocal delivery reminiscent of a crossover between Skunk Anansie and Kate Bush, the band delivers a performance that is both powerful and evocative. From the moment the drums kick in, the song establishes a relentless momentum that drives the narrative forward. The pounding and thriving percussion sets the pace, adding layers of intensity to the composition. Each beat feels purposeful, contributing to the overall dynamic of the track. The guitar work in "Mary" is nothing short of mesmerizing. While maintaining a clean tone, it weaves intricate melodies that linger in the listener's mind long after the song has ended. The haunting quality of the guitar adds depth to the music, creating an atmosphere that is both eerie and enchanting. However, it's the bass that truly sh

ALPS. - WANT YOU NOW

 ALPS. - WANT YOU NOW Life is full of surprises.  Sometimes it gives you lemons, sometimes it gives you Alps..  At The Black Flamingo we really are blessed with the people that come visit us.  No matter how big or small the audience, they give the artists all the attention they deserve.  One day Jesse came over to watch a show here.  I didn't knew who he was but someone pointed out to me that he also was a musician and a songwriter.  After a little research (hurrah for socials) I came across two of his projects, Alps. and CYNN' (more about CYNN' later, I'm sure). For me Alps. is more than songs.  When I close my eyes while listening to them I can almost feel the scenery passing by.  Want You Now in particular makes me feel like being somewhere on a mountain pasture (Alps.?) and it's my perfect waking up song after a stressy week or a heavy night. I already had the privilege to see them perfom live and what a show that was ! Go check them out if you get the chance.
