Besto here, filling in for Roach who’s out inpregn8ing drum kits with his super rock sperm. Whoa…It’s been a while since we’ve visited the Blog-o-shot…And while things may have been quiet on the surface, like Oz, Shot has been working hard behind the scenes. You already know that we have rocked Arlene’s Grocery twice in the past 2 months. At the last show, we played to a capacity crowd. I mean it was awesome to see so many people there. In observance of this most awesome of shows, Hector melted faces extra hard, Roach went super-octopus style on the kit, and Billy killed a bear and wore it onstage. To our friends who don’t live in NYC and caught the show online, we are happy to have rocked your brain virtual style.
As you know our good friend, bassist, and comrade-in-rock, Yusuke the Mad Bomber Baby had to recently leave Shot to return to the ancient land of Michigan, Japan. Shot has been busy searching for its next 4 string samurai and, while many have been called, none have been chosen. If you know someone who can play a bass, let us know. In the meantime, bassal duties are being covered by our good friend Jon Price. Make sure you come out and watch him slap the bottom on March 6th when we rock R Bar. Again. Again. Again.
What? Yeah that’s right. Shot is back at R Bar on Saturday March 6th at 8pm. Despite the fact that we keep destroying that place, they keep inviting us back. They are gluttons for rock. If you’ve never seen a venue truly Shot-ified, then you have to come out this Saturday. Plus we’ll be playing with the soulful stylings of the Bobby Kane band, who recently advanced to the 2nd round of the Emergenza festival. Congrats Bobby, Browneyes, Jason, and Lindsay!
Speaking of Emergenza, we have to send a big metal shout out to the Slam 1 Down boys. They fuckin’ owned Fontana’s last Friday, as they won the first round of the Emergenza Battle of the Bands. If you like good, headbanging, beer drinkin’, fuckin’ party metal, then go see Slam 1 Down now. They are to metal what Shot is to rock. Simply put, they own every venue they play at.
If you haven’t got the new SHOT EP, stop whatever you’re doing and go get it now. It recently sold out on CDBaby so get it while you can. Those of you who already have it and are already fiending for more, don’t worry: Shot is returning to the studio this spring, once again working with the world famous Peter “Mo-Royce” Kohl (Dirty Pearls, Tragedy, Dangerous), this time at Wild Arctic Studios (where the recent Hold Steady album was recorded).
But Shot can’t rock all the time. Well actually they can, but with their awesome rock powers, they shift time and space to find time to watch heartwarming, feel good movies like most recently Anti-Christ. A couple, coping with the recent loss of their son, retreat to the forest for some much needed alone time. Unfortunately things are not as they seem, as talking foxes appear, dickholes get smashed, and chaos reigns. We here at Shot can get behind a lot of things: Necrophilia? All right. Keeping a guy in a bag in your room? Why not? Smashing Dickholes? No Thanks.
