Thass right folks! Graveyard BBQ is currently lookin for a new Skinsman. We are a Dirtcore/Metal/Hellbilly band from the Boston area. We just released our debut CD "GREATEST HITS VOLUME 1" and we're planning a full U.S Tour for Fall 2005. What we're looking for? A Drummer who's into Sex, Booze, n' Rock n' Roll.........and BBQ of course!!! Our style; THINK Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, Zakk Wylde, Hank Williams III, George Thorogood, ZZ Top, AC/DC, Pantera, White Zombie, Slayer .........Mix em all together and what do ya get??? A new and completely different sound and style, Graveyard BBQ.
A review of our CD:
A dirtbag, a bum, a reverend, and a cowboy. Visions of the confederate flag dancing in my head. Shadey smiles crammed with fake teeth, and a voice that makes your skin crawl, and your pants wet. The new (and ironically first) cd "Greatest Hits" is finally out. With songs like "Daddy Like", their lyrics are somewhat off-color, but quite hysterical. "Cheat on the church" makes me want to knock a few back, then smash the bottles over someone's head, and dance on the bar. If you listen to that song backwards, I swear you can hear the devil himself. That devil is reverend Brixx, and his message is; blezzed is he who bbqs, now get fucked!
As for the BBQ cover of Bruce Springsteen's "I'm On Fire", at first my thought was, "Oh my god, are you serious?" But after the uncontrollable urge to repeat it several times, I can only say one thing, and that is....fucking genius.
Brownbag Johnson has my vote as the best guitar player in Boston right now. Between the beats, the thunder, the solos, and the gravel pit vocals, you can't help but tap your foot, bang your head, and pound that fist. Whether you're at a show, or rocking out at the kitchen table, something will take over you, and you'll like it.
It's gonna be a long, hot summer folks. And if you want to survive it, you must do as follows:
grab your banjo, hop into the general lee, head on down the nearest lake where you will fire up the grill, get drunk, have sex, and release the white trash within.
Joke? Or genius? I'll let you be the judge. but as for me;
I PLEDGE MY ALLEGIANCE TO THE BBQ NATION.
A review of our live show:
Coyote Ugly, the local franchise of the hot-bartender saloon chain celebrated in a cheesy 2000 movie, is about as far removed from Boston rock-hipsterdom as you can get. Which may have been why Waltham’s Graveyard BBQ fit right in. A week ago Thursday, the group answered the age-old question of what happens when you combine Creedence Clearwater Revival with AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd with Pantera, real beards with fake beards, and Confederate flags with pentagrams. Marrying Southern-fried slide-guitar swamp with classic hard rock, the BBQ seemed right at home amid the heavy drinking, alpha-male-dominated crowd (sample T-shirt: American flag with the slogan "Support the best/Fuck the rest"). Brownbag Johnson melted faces with white-hot wah-wahing guitar leads, and drummer Peterbilt Wilson — also known as Dave Pino, former guitar player and mastermind behind both Waltham and Damone — provided ’70s-era four-on-the-floor beats, proving he’s more than just a master shredder and pop craftsman. Following a cover medley that included Thin Lizzy’s "Jailbreak" and Ted Nugent’s "Cat Scratch Fever," three of the four females from opening band the And Wutz hopped on stage in Graveyard BBQ T-shirts — low-cut for added titillation — to shake and sway in unison and offer caresses and back-up vocals: "I’m just a barbecue girl/I’m just a barbecue."
We have our website GraveyardBBQ.com but its currently under construction. But for now, you can check out www. MySpace.com/GraveyardBBQ or www.JonAaron.net
Email BornAgainViking@aol.com for an audition or if you have any questions. THANX, Brownbag Johnson- Slinger
