from Iris:
Thanks to all the IRIS fans that showed up at the Madison AVE club this pass weekend. We all had a great time and it was fun being up on a big stage with video screens. We’re already in communication with their management team to book us again. Date and time TBA. We do have some photos from the gig and we’ll get those up on the web-site ASAP. If anyone has any pictures from the gig let us know and we'll post them to the website.
For those who did show-up then you witnessed James do his best Gene Simmons impersonation. James had surgery about a week before the show and although the doctors told him to stay home and relax he soldiered on and played. Unfortunately, James had some complications which required him to visit the emergency room after our second set. James is doing well but has been ordered by his doctor to sit home for a couple of weeks. He expects a
full recovery but he’ll need to stay away from the microphone for awhile. Be sure to send your support for James.
To replace James on a temporary basis we have enlisted the help of Pete Pedez. Pete used to play in a band called Hair Club and has done some studio work in the local area. We’re excited to give Pete the opportunity to play with IRIS while James recovers.
Don't have any plans this weekend...well come out Friday and Saturday and party with the band. This weekend we’re playing at the Trap on Friday night and at Billy D’s Saturday night. Both places are always fun because you know you're going to have a great time. We’ll start at 9:30 and end at 1:30 each night.
Have you bought your Halloween costume yet? Make sure you plan your Halloween party at the GRC in Kerrville on October 29th. The party is set and the band already has their costumes plans...you got to come out to see what we're dressing up as.
