Setlist: Christophe And The Art School Rejects - 03-17-2013 The Hidden Castle, Norman, OK

 This was the first show of the new band. We had four practices and then got together. It wasn't as tight as I'd like it to be, but we had the sound. It was different playing and electric guitar after all these years. I did enjoy it though. Played with a lot of cool bands. Bare Knuckle Shuffle who I haven't done anything with since the M.L. days. Three of the bands were touring acts. Get Busy Living (Kansas), Lantern (Philly) & Sheer Agony (Montreal). All very cool acts.

 Making this post... months after the show. Apparently I missed putting it in when it happened. I wish I could remember more about the show, but I don't. I opened for Downstait, a touring act. Played solo with a cat named Dustin backing me up on Dobro and Banjo.

Christophe And The Prairie Fire - 08-22-2012 Bang Bang Variety Show, The Hidden Castle, Norman, OK

 This was our last gig with the Bang Bang Variety Show. Shortly after they left the Castle and are doing smaller scaled back shows at different clubs. This show was a little weird. I had been so sick that I didnt have a voice and couldn't sing. So the guys in the band came up and sang the songs. There were a couple where I kind of shouted along to help them through if they didnt know it all yet. They were put on the spot. Came out decent though.

 It's been a busy couple of months. Between my laptop breaking and moving to a new place I've gotten little internet access and I have not kept up on my setlist blog. So I may not remember much from some of these shows... but I do still have the sets written down. This is from our monthly Bang Bang show.

The first video shoot for The DAMAGED Hearing Sessions. John Kaiser and Waylon Warbuckss Clark of FreakSho Ent. chose the song "M" to direct. The Hidden Castle graciously allowed us to film on one of their off days and even hooked everyone up with their first beer free. We had an open invite for people to show up and be in it. Things went smoothly and we had some fun.

 Monthly gig at the Hidden Castle with the Bang Bang crew. I think this was the second gig with the complete line-up of Prairie Fire. Things were running behind with some of the other cats performing before us, and we ended up playing later than usual. It went well though. I was exhausted by the time I was off stage. Had a blast though.

 Drug the Pallbearers out again for the only show of the season. Got to play with my friends Creepersin, who I've been on a few compilation CD's with, but never got to meet face to face til now. Some local kids called Dethrone Humanity opened up. Turns out it's the kid of one of my friends from SWAN. Creepersin were amazing. We drug out the electric rig for our set. It's been a while. Broke a few strings. Played all but two songs from our set.

This was the first show for our new drummer Jim Bell and for our new lead guitarist Joe D. Our mandolin player wasn't able to make it though because he was recording with his other band. Be sure to check out the WM3 at http://www.wm3.org/ All the money raised went to their WM3 Freedom Fund.

 Played the Le Tepes Rouge Wild Wild West Show tonight. First show I did with Le Tepes Rouge, had a lo of cats I knew from Bang Bang, so we felt at home enough. Shotgun Rebellion played after us and I have to say that these are some great guys. Sucked playing on a game day though. There were just not as many people as there should have been for a show like this. We made do though. Everyone performed great... and we finally had some rain...
