rocking seattle hard
in 1998 we rocked the rock candy in seattle, washington, and we rocked it hard. like, rock hard. y’know what I’m saying?
anyhow, after 15 years (fuck!!!) I am making my way back to seattle to do a little acoustic show for my friend’s non-profit. I’m hoping it’s a foot-in-the-door kind o’ thing, maybe leading to future northwest gigs, so I’m really, really hoping that you’ll come out and support me (and her).
manu came to hamburg from god knows where (a lot of kilometers. I can’t remember b/c my whole km to miles converter hadn’t kicked in yet) and rachel came to hamburg from london. in honor of a certain bunny foo foo who came from south carolina or something to my boston show a few years back, I inaugurated a prize for the person who travels the furthest to see my sad sack ass. the prize is a signed cd (woo hoo!), but the honor of course goes far beyond mere swag.
I’ll shut up now and give you the show info, but first I wanted to mention that this month’s free mp3 of the month is an excellent rendition of “sleeps with angels” from the aforementioned rock candy show. to be honest, we didn’t rock all that hard because we were so freaking tired, as can be heard in the hilarious interchange at the end with select seattle residents regarding heroin abuse.

Why must you always play shows so far away!! I may have to cash in some airline miles so I can live my life long dream!
Paul, love this song. I have this CD back from ’98 when Black Lab was selling it through the net. It is a CD-R and it includes 8 live songs from that show, including the free MP3 of the month this time around. Do you have any plans of remixing/remastering this show? It would be great to have the entire show as this CD-R has gaps between songs, some songs fade out others don’t, etc. It is just a bit uneven and it was over all a great show. Looking forward to new tracks my man! All the best from Boston
Great idea to make a competition out of it, Paul
Let us know who won in Seattle!
maybe I’ll be in Freiburg next year, too. The show was amazing! So happy to finally see you live on stage!!
Been waiting about 15 years to see something live from Black Lab.. Really can not wait for this! Music with great meaning and passion. Connected.
hey, thanks for the love, people. I do plan on releasing this and other live stuff some day, definitely. I have some cool multitrack stuff that will sound great.
meanwhile, hope you can make it lillia…
