Say Hey!
First off, we'd like to thank The Mystic Theater Staff, Ten Years After and all of our friends who came out to see us at last month's big show - what a whopper of a night! These events are a treat, all around, and it is a distinct pleasure to share our music with you in such a terrific setting. Note: Pics from this show have been added to MySpace.
July brings us a handful of comfy local dates, including the San Jose area, which will be nice, as we haven't played there in a coupla' few months. S.J. folks please note that the Murphy's Law date in Sunnyvale for July 4th has been rescheduled for Aug. 6th to coincide with the Sunnyvale Street Festival, but the #1 Broadway date in Los Gatos is good to go. These Thursday nights at #1 Broadway have been a hoot, every time out - highly recommended. Next month, once our rehearsals and studio sessions are completed, we will be out in force for you guys who aren't on the July schedule. We're also back at Lou's Pier 47 for our 'hood friends or for any of you that would like to spend the day at Fisherman's Wharf, then swing in the early evening with The BDs.
The Main Events for July: We're laying down the final basic tracks for our follow up CD to our debut release "Roadhouse Manifesto" at month's end. We'll be recording at Hyde St. Studios, in downtown S.F., same place as we put down the first batch. This venerable space is likely known to you Bay Area music aficionados as the same studios where Sly & The Family Stone, Jefferson Airplane and CCR recorded their big hits, back when it was called Wally Heider Studios ... the finest of Mojos.
.. and this just in: San Francisco based Rock-n-Blues combo The BONEDRIVERS are proud to announce they will be the support act for THE BLASTERS at the esteemed RED DEVIL LOUNGE in San Francisco, California. This event will take place Thursday July 24th with The Bonedrivers set beginning at 9:00. THE BLASTERS will take the stage at 10:00!
Hear music from our new CD, as well as from "Roadhouse Manifesto" live at your favorite night spot, any old time you'd like.
Please don't forget to call in or e-mail your BD's "Roadhouse Manifesto" radio requests to KPOO, KPIG, KSVY, KRSH, KUSP, KFJC, KXJZ & www.hotmix106.com!
Again, we greatly appreciate your continued friendship and support!

"Roadhouse Manifesto"
*****
5 of 5 Stars
"There's just 3 words for this album. It Kicks Ass. Keith Karloff's method of trying the songs out live before even working them onto the CD truly makes a record without a sleeper on it. Even the pre mastered discs enjoyed airplay on 91.3 KSVY in Sonoma long before the CD got it's 'official' release. The 'Old School' tone and format of the songs make it familiar the first time you listen to it.
If you don't like 'Live to Ride' then you've never liked straight forward rock. There's no gimmicks on this disc, Just straight forward Blues based rock and roll. Can't wait till they come back to Sonoma to see what Keith and Co. have up their sleeves."

Live Lance Monthly review from Red Devil Lounge, San Francisco supporting The Yardbirds:
Red Devil Lounge, San Francisco
April 1, 2007
"Then came The Bonedrivers, a power trio so electrifying they could light a room of candles. Dripping with self-assurance, they covered all bases, from the blues to funk to standard rock and roll. Try to imagine ZZ Top battling it out with Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Jimi Hendrix Experience and George Thorogood and The Destroyers, and that should clue you in on where The Bonedrivers are at. The band delivered boogie rhythms by the score, the drumming was explosive, the vocals were pleasingly gritty and the guitar and bass work sizzled and slinked with thrilling sensations ... By the time The Yardbirds appeared, the crowd was already dangerously on fire."
Beverly Patterson, Lance Monthly, May 2007 |
