Houston El mover - never stops !
This past year- I played around Texas - but found myself in Ukraine - with Hardwicke Circus from Carlisle UK- in June and July-and back again in Oct and Nov -🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🎸👓😎📡
Playing all over the country - which a lot of it- looks like the area around Colombus and La grange -same humidity also 🔥🔥-about 8 cities - doing shows- at underground venues -and military hospitals -and it was a blast - because we were the first western bands to play since the Russian invasion-It was a big deal-!! Which was covered by European news outlets- but not much about it - here in the states -yeah - there is a war going on there-😱- I seen a drone flying by more than once😱- seen the destruction the Russians have done - but life still goes on- as does Rock n roll -and I was glad to be there representing Texas-and Tex Mex rock n roll —it was an eye opener - plus part of the band was Ukrainian - so we were in the thick of it— I did meet a few Americans doing aid work and soldiers fighting at the front-and trying to show that people from the states - also do care about holding the line in the fight for democracy in this crazy world🤔-i suppose trying to be the good guys and not turn away from the struggle -and help with the music 🙏- i also learned Chris Sampson from KPFT-fm Houston has been living in Kyiv - for the past few years-and has been to the front🇺🇦-if the Clash were around today-they would be playing Ukraine🇺🇦🇺🇦
On a side note- when we were playing music schools around the country -it seemed that all the guitar players- said Houston Texas band-PANTERA- was their favorite band 🎸🎸🎸- so all these kids were ripping pantera🐆🐆
Back in October we- raised money to bring a rescue vehicle to save lives to the eastern front /and food & meds for dog shelters in Ukraine -we raised the money at shows around Europe and donations from the states- which we delivered to the eastern front in Donetsk-so we are looking to raise more money for 2 more rescue vehicles & funds for the dog. Shelters to bring back to Ukraine in September 🙏🙏
I strongly believe in this cause for saving lives and helping dogs -in Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦-so come out to big top - Continental - this Saturday May 2.-SHOESHINE CHARLEY’s Big Top Lounge-HOUSTON TEXAS!!!!
