Tore the Roof off the Snake...AGAIN!! by Citrus

From Citrus' myspace blog

So we rock this little joint up in the hills called the Snake River Saloon...
They have a brass ceiling and blow fire up all over it and stuff...Hell they hired us in the first place due to the fact that we cover " I call my baby Pussycat"

Tha place is always a madhouse when we are up in there. Mugs passing out on the floor, dropping their glasses to break... fights...etc..
THIS time the big story was some lucky cat that got rode hard and put away wet by a mom and daughter team friday night, the guy that wet himself AND of course a wedding party going nutzo.

It's a crazy little mountain town bar...Not a big place..but we managed to pull in some 420 folks thru the door over the two nights.

I have to mix the show from the stage...and that is TUFF....the first show is always hard to get...and the second always sounds so much better.
We have to set up very different than our norm....with me way over stage left. the cues are hard to get to the band..I can hardly see Murphy at all and locking down is really a test of our mental telepathy....

My poor brother Azma always has shit go down when we play there...THIS time..he had buried his Grandmother in the morning...and got the text that his cuzin had been shot in the evening during our set.....wtf? IT was really taxing...I didn't even realize what had happened till after the set..but knew that something was wrong with Azma...something more than being sad for loosing his Grandmother. I don't get it...why does shit havta go south whenever we go to the snake? We all had our fill of fried chicken from the service in the morning... we had chicken for pre during and post show food! Thanks to the Holiday family for that.

Well anyway...the rest on saturday was much needed. All I could do was watch Unbeatable Banzuke and laff my ass off all day...then rocked em again that night.

I think it's time for a raize up in there...cuz they more than covered our fee from the door alone...and made a MINT at the bar!

I am always amazed at mountain folk and their ability to let it all hang out...I wish that it was like that everywhere!
