the Vand and Billy "Famous"

I should have done this followup ages ago, as we are already just a few days from our next First Friday event. Here is a picture of the Vand, CW and Billy Weiss, playing in the gallery, in the van a few weeks ago. And if you look very carefully through the window in the back you will spot one of the other stars of the evening, Billy Schenck. The band completely rocked it with their raw, country-punk-rock-mexican polka style. I highly suggest hiring these guys to do a drive-by at your next barbeque. I hear that you can check them our yourself, sans van, at 43North this Friday night. Biomecca too...
I am hoping to get a video of them one of these days to post here...so check back in.

The Rock Vand

Happy 5th of July. Last night Jackson put on its typical fabulous display of fireworks, then everyone who drove had to sit in traffic for an hour to get out of town. I was so happy that I had my bike and cruised easily through town, eventually ending up at Snow King for Front Street's Declaration 2008 Party featuring Biomecca and DJs Tony Touch and J Boogie. Of course it was super fun music and dancing, but I have to share that my favorite moment was actually outside in the parking lot with the Vand. CW and Billy Weiss were literally rocking it inside the van. Expect to see the Vand again...perhaps even a drive-by at the gallery. And, if synchronicity means anything, the fact that those two literally just stopped by here as I was writing this suggests that the Vand will be rocking inside the van, inside the gallery, for our July 11th opening Friday. Don't miss it!
