Drive Invasion

The Rockabilly Queen

Here's a link to a great article about Wanda Jackson, who will be performing at this year's Drive Invasion.

"Wanda was certainly a stand alone in what she did."

Just Some Ramblings

I'm involved with a new online radio station called Garage 71. You can find it listed on Live365. Every Monday night at 8p Eastern beginning July 13th you'll be able to hear my spinning rockabilly, psychobilly, early rock, and horror punk.

A small group of friends and I will be putting out an online rockabilly magazine. The kickoff date is August 28th. It'll focus on Atlanta, the Southeast, and a bit nationally/globally.

Another band potentially playing Drive Invasion this year: Southern Culture on the Skids.

The Screamin' Demons reunion show was a success. Plenty of people showed, lots of beer was consumed, we even had a mosh pit for part of the night.

Drive Invasion Update

In case you hadn't heard, this year's Drive Invasion will only be one day - September 6th. The main reason is to cut down on costs and make the event more affordable given our current economic state.

I'm proud to say I was able to get Wanda Jackson booked for DI this year and she'll be one of the headliners. I'm waiting for the contract to arrive and we're already working on a band for her. I believe Johnny "Knox" McGowan is headlining this search.

Also in the works is The Fleshtones. Possibly Grinder Nova.

I'm working to get a couple more bands booked, such as Flathead Mike & The Mercurys and The Creeping Cruds. I'm not booking the event, but I am providing Bryan Malone (Star Bar and The Forty Fives) with a little assistance.

I'll provide you with more information as it unfolds.
