Electric Bugaloo

 Reprinting an e-mail from summer of 2007. Working on a truly epic post next week. To quote Flava Flav, "Don't believe the Hype"


Wow what an awesome time yesterday. The turnout was very weak. But alot of the Family came out and I would like to personally thank you for coming out. The bands were really good. I missed Flat Top due to a great pre show party. Six cents was good but I was really impressed with Tim Rynolds. (sp)? Did a Neil Young medley and a Zeppelin medley lus alot of original stuff. Quagmire was good (They are much better after midnight) but I was ready to get of the Bahgdadesque sun. It was blazing out there even with the Quick Shade. Besides, the biggest pre show party for a Devolver show had to end sometime.
     For those of us that survived the day (and remembered to mix in some water with the beer), Devovler was the icing on the cake. 4 new songs but as always the sound was an issue. After the first half of the first set, it got better. A return of Josh Dewald on the mike for a new Zappa tune. Andy doing his best Neil Young ('70, not '72 because we all know how much cooler the '70 Young is to the '72 Young, but only by a little). The bar and the patio were packed with mostly people I've never seen before, except for a pirate, who I met when I saw Quagmire after midnight. Oh yeah and Superman almost got his ass kicked. What more could you want at a show.
     A great time but I wish more people would have come out to support it. This could be the start of a really cool music fest in Hanover of all places. Again,want to give mad props to everyone that made it out. Remember, the turnout at the first chili cook off was pretty weak too. And the title of this email, not only was it the theme of the day, but it's also the only Devolver Song I ever named (debut, 3/17/2001 ATO frat house University Park, PA)
