Brad was a very dear friend of ours, not just from Texas Special and Swampmouth but as a sweet, loving person and he will be missed dearly.

His brother James told me earlier Brad would want everyone to have a drink and play their guitars and...celebrate life.

Bye Brad, I'll Miss You

Ah, that Stormy Monday video...it has always been one of my favorite videos that I have taken. And now, it will always make me think of Brad. I am so bummed to hear about Brad's passing. He was a super-cool guy! Every time I hung out with him, he was always so cheerful and sweet...he was one of the coolest, most laidback people I have ever known.

I don't think that Brad would want us to be sad for him, so I won't, although I can't help but be sad for myself and James and M'lissa and Delrick and everyone else who knew Brad, because I know he will be very much missed. But for Brad, I will drink a beer and play some tunes and trust that he is still enjoying himself in whatever comes next.

Mainly, I just wanted to share my favorite picture that I have of Brad. I always loved this one. Peace and love just seem to emanate from him in this pic. I always thought that was pretty cool and really fit his personality.

Have a REVOLUTION (ROOM) with ALTER EGO Sat Oct. 25


Music begins at 10:30 p.m., and no cover!

Halfway Legal by Alexis Marcelo



http://www.halfwaylegal.com/


Halfway Legal were at their finest this past Friday night at The Bitter End!

I have seen Halfway Legal play many times at multiple venues, but this was by far their best show. They are a unique band, playing songs that most four or five piece bands wouldn't even think about because of the complexity of the songs.

It is a breath of fresh air not to hear all of today's top 50 rock hits.

Instead, when you sit in the crowd at a Halfway Legal show, it doesn't matter your age or taste because they work in music that everyone can enjoy. Friday night the members of Halfway Legal did just that.

The crowd was on their toes waiting to hear what was going to be next, ranging from Red Hot Chili Peppers...to Black Sabbath...to Buck Cherry...to Led Zeppelin...to Hoobastank...to Rush and so much more. Their song choices are amazing, the talent is overflowing, they have a stage presence like no other band and the crowd was in awe.

This band truly has chemistry together and it is evident in each show. Friday's show put the cherry on top. I have been to that bar before many times when Halfway Legal was not playing, and have never seen a crowd like they had. Their fan base is large and getting larger every day.

I would recommend to any one who has not seen them before, to check them out, you will not be disappointed. For those who have seen them, continue checking them out because the shows get better each time.

Best of Luck,
Alexis Marcelo
