    Not only promoting the band, but promoting the bar seems to be a good idea. There has to be a place where people know they can count on a couple of nights a week for good music, say thursday and saturday. It wouldn't be that far of a stretch to sit down and write a good piece about the local bar getting all the gigs and really talk it up. Mention the variety of acts you've seen recently, and how you may have enjoyed the atmosphere of the place. Write a piece and submit it to as many local entertainment rags as possible. Even if there are say 5-10 people that might come out, thats more than before and those people will hopefully have friends....start the revolution, mang!

    Of course the focus is always on the band and the music, but by helping to promote the bar/club, everyone could get a little push.

    Oh my god...I'm still thinking about the show from last night. Simply an awesome experience. The Ho was absolutely ELECTRIC last night. Id have to guess that there were a couple hundred people there, and most were there for BNB. The crowd was SO pumped and the band seemed even more pumped to play. SO many friends were there, smiling, groovin', laughing and seriously enjoying the reunion of two legendary parts of our scene: The Ho + BNB. Lots of first-timers and lots of seasoned Ho vets were present.

    Songs that I can remember being played: In the Belly, Chevron, Down With the Sound, Have a Cigar, Don't Do it (Baby Don't Do it), By the Door, Jack Lumber, The Bench, Fresco Lopez, Palace, Frankenstein, Yellow Pants, Speedbump, Stop 28.

    Highlights for me were (the entire night was amazing) Chevron and In the Belly. Chevron has always been my favorite song, but the version last night was probably the best Ive heard, hands down. The basic song is still there, but the "breakdown" or jam section of the song was totally reworked (getting goose bumps thinking about it!!) and sounded so fresh I almost fell on the floor in shock. Totally new sounds that took lots of people by pleasant surprise.

    In the Belly was pretty much the clincher of the whole night. You'll have to get the disc and listen to the song to know why.

    The party was in full swing 'in the rooms above the bar' and as usual, anything goes at the Ho. I remember Mike from BNB coming out of the can and saying something like "holy shit, there are even people partying on the roof outside..I love it"

    GREAT NIGHT!
