My great grandma (old grammie as in called here in my rude innocent youth)
Has past on. I wanted to scream at her funeral as the man in robes preached to us "she is in heave...we Christians...as Mathew said... pray for your sins...let us pray..." lift your fucking veil!!! no one makes me feel more bizarre, uncomfortable and unwanted than my dear relations, can you believe my papa started telling at me for being such a fuck right next to her grave (I was five minted late because the directions he gave me were worse than "you can't get there from here"... but I did learn some surprising facts about old grammie she survived the depression on pork fat and potatoes skins, she one sang on radios (WHEB, a station that plays optic rose!) and in burlesque halls, and she out lived 3 husbands!
.... and while I was morning my grammie and suffering the love and company of my family my band got totally fucked over. In the words of my dear friend Otto of wormdr1v3:
we went to set up, and he didn't have any di boxes. 'They got stolen, and
I'm not buying any more!". Okay, no problem, we'll run into the snake. He
only hooked us up mono, wouldn't give us the stereo feed. So the whole
time, only one side of the drums were playing, so he had to keep cranking
the volume so we could here them. We had nothing in the monitors at all, it
sucked. Basically, he fried a power amp and blamed us and our drum machine.
But he's the sound guy and it's his stupid fault. I even mentioned dot him
that when Sean did the sound everything was great, but all he did was tear
into me. So fuck him, that place sucks anyways, but we still wanted to play
shows there. It just sucks that he wouldnt' listen to us, I told him we
needed a stereo signal, that why he couldnt' hear anything, 'cause it was
only one side playing, you know?
So we are banned for life. At least I can take refuge in the
fact that {name omitted} is a fucking retard with business and he's going to run the
Bomb shelter into the pits, the same way Chantilly's was run into he pits.
Thats where most of those rejects came from anyways
I was also told latter that they thought Optic Roses stage performance was too controversial and that our music was too weird the eights are over, its time to evolve or fucking die off. This is the second club to cancel us because we are different... the first time it happened was at the Meadow brook inn. The night before the show we were setting up when the owners daughter wondered in. she took one look at us and ran out of the room screaming there are a bunch a drug addict freaks down there and they plan on bringing more freaks and faggots. Then the fight ensued. She cancelled the show on us. I spit in her face. I prayed that she would swing at me, as Ive never been in a physical altercation, but she ran into a bathroom and called the police. We were escorted off the property. It just not fair that club owners can cancel a gig whenever they fucking please. I detest New Hampshire, New England and stagnate minds. Now the Bomb Shelter. I never would imagine that yokel FCC fever would strike there.
A wicked world indeed and I just want to be her cover girl
In good news Optic Rose will still be performing at the Kittery Lions Club
June 18 th, at four pm $8, (this is a festival show, there are 12 other bands!)
Optic Rose will be spinning their songs as well as their influences and fellow local acts from 5-6 on 91.3, WUNH June 30.
And Optic Rose will be doing a two hour special on 93.1 WMFO on July 14 from 8-10.
WE have also been added to FNXs local mix, and we finished three new videos. We are also wrapping up our next LP Whitechapel They keep pushing us down, but we, the sadomasochist that we are, just keep crawling back for more (at least I like it on my knees)
***working on buliding a huge caffiene tolerance, picking flowers in my head and laying them next to old grammie, wishing for a new world, a new home a new family and new perspectives for all those rotting in the mind***
