This Week for Sinful Lilly...

One thing I still haven't wrapped my mind around is, YouTube can reach millions of viewers from around the world.  They would be able to see a video that was made remotely.

This past week, my appreciation for YouTube, and the steady hands to make amateur videos, increased one hundredfold.  Though I had seen Sinful Lilly before (and once is far from enough times), and they were larger than life when I saw them live after seeing many of their videos on YouTube , it pained me that due to personal reasons, I missed all of the shows they had this past week.

And they had some awesome ones!

They started off last week playing two straight nights at 5 o' Clock Somewhere in Nicholasville, KY.  A few days later, they were in Louisville, KY, opening up for Doyle (Misfits). Then, last but certainly not least, Whitesburg, KY, opening up for Bullet Boys.

You might think, "Oh, man.  I missed it!"  

Now, don't sweat it.  Remember I said there's always YouTube to give you the live experience right there at your home?  Well, here are some random videos from the past week that will blow you away and give you goose bumps at their genuine talent continually jumps off the screen.

I hope you like them!

"California Man," performed at Appalshop Theater, Whitesburg, KY

"Wait Your Turn," performed at Trixies

"Devil Music & the Record Machine," performed at Trixies

"Snowblind," performed at Appalshop Theater

If you do, you can follow them on Facebook,  Twitter or Instagram.

I'll see you at their next show.

KISS Army, a KISS Tribute band, playing "Do You Love Me?"

KISS Army at Knoxville Harley-Davidson

Now that I get it with KISS' legacy, I want to make a point to see any KISS tribute band I can.  Why? Because I want the best.  And I got it when I saw KISS Army at Knoxville Harley-Davidson this past Saturday.

Only it wasn't what I had expected.  It was more.  What got my attention when their show started was the parts of all of the news reports about how "young teenagers are into this loud music by musicians wearing black and lots of makeup."  Oh, how times have changed!

It was a great night of being part of what I missed out on back in the day.  The best part was when they played "Deuce" and "Strutter" back to back, including doing that famous sway during that instrumental break.




While KISS is known to steal my love, every one of the guy in KISS Army each took part in taking center stage, stealing the show.

Of course, what is a KISS show without "Pete's" drum solos, as well as playing "Hard Luck Woman"?




Or Gene's well-known bass solo and blood-generating theatrics?






Or the Space Man's cosmic guitar solos?



And of course, Star Child's raps?



The band outdid themselves in giving us KISS fans a great show in spite of the cold, windy weather. Getting sick from it didn't matter, because they made sure to "call the doctor." Need I say more?

That now marks two KISS tribute shows I have been to so far.  My question now is:  How many more am I going to go to before actually seeing the real thing?  I feel like I need to make a punch card for this.  Nonetheless, it was another great moment to live in the moment.

Southern Floyd, a Pink Floyd Tribute

The psychedelic power of Pink Floyd is alive and well, even in Atlanta!

How do I know this? I saw it for myself when I saw Southern Floyd at Open Chord Thursday night.



If I had had my eyes closed through the entire show, I would think it really was Pink Floyd.  Southern Floyd knows their Pink Floyd:  every note, chord, and beat was so accurate.  The audience must have been so mesmerized.  There was hardly any movement...until "Wish You Were Here."

What's more:  They did two sets, the second of which was even better than the first.  So involved was I in it, that before I knew it, the show was over.  I thought it appropriate to have "Comfortably Numb," as the last song.

I was so glad to be a part of this experience.
