On Top of the Covers

All aboard to Band Management (“BM”) City! It’s always been an interest of mine– to be in a band. Since no one will let me (for the life of me, I don’t know why… I play a MEAN belly-drum y’all), I have thrust myself upon the world of band management. Luckily, this has worked out thus far, in my favor. People are letting me do it! AND people are asking me to do it more! (SWEET.) Anyway, I would NEVER use my blog as another form of press and publicity for my darling dear artists, but I might use it to tell you about my first little gem of a band– the one that started it all, STOP POINTING AT YOUR WRIST AND DRIVE a.k.a. SPAYWAD.

SPAYWAD is what every band manager and booking agent dreams of. They’re different, better, special in all of the right ways. SPAYWAD is a progressive, electro-krunk cover-cover band– they only cover songs which UB40 has previously covered. I know. You were just saying how you wanted to start a UB40 cover-cover band. Sorry dudes, YOU GOTTA BE QUICK in this biz. They did it first. Cutting edge as the six-bladed razor your mom uses to shave your dad’s back hair, these ladies get up-close, personal, and in your face while somehow remaining mysterious and distant leaving you craving more.

Asphalt (the self-proclaimed lover of roads) sports a bandana (EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.) (Is that dedication or what?!) on which she has written what she believes to be the secret to her success, “DEDICATION.” (You totally didn’t see that one coming… ya know… cuz I had like JUST used the word dedication. GOT YA.)

MASH (the self-proclaimed potato lover) told me once that “If there’s no gravy, there’s no point.” Believe it or not, she ain’t just talkin’ bout potats y’all. She’s right. I took it to heart, and I’ll never forgit it. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll tattoo it somewhere you can see it… not like your back… since you can’t see your back… not your forehead either or on your tongue… unless you can stick your tongue out really far so you can see it… in that case… go ahead get it tattooed on your tongue… but JUST THE TIP!

These two ladies were the platform of my BM success– surely, you can see why. My BM style is lax, but I stay on top of shit. (BTW)

If you’re at all interested in bringing me on to BM you, represent you, book you, promote you, have you, hold you, then please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Git on my gravy boat.
