Attention People in Bands....

I just gotta throw this out there because, dammit... I'm really annoyed right now. And I said this wasn't going to be the purpose of this blog (to rant), but apparently some people are stupid & the word needs to get around!

We all know I love live music & supporting my local scene & bands need to practice & god knows I encourage my boys to play their guitars whenever they can... but there is such thing as common sense & courtesy. In other words... if you're in a band & you don't have adequate practice space & therefore you do things like practice out of your home... just have a little respect. That's all I'm asking.

Don't practice with your amps cranked as high as they'll go at 10:30 at night, especially on a Sunday. Especially when you know your neighbours on either side of you have regular M-F, 8-5 jobs AND there's a kid trying to sleep so he can get up for school in the morning.

And when I try to knock on your door to tell you it's too loud & you don't answer so I end up calling the damn cops... don't act like I'm a bitch. I'm not a bitch, you're just stupid! Get over it & learn a little respect. Or better yet... each of you can pitch in a couple bucks & rent space at Music Lab. It's fucking cheap. Look it up.
