I’d like to begin this article by apologizing for the lapse between this and the last one. Since #4 came out, I went on the road with a Pro Drifting team to cover their adventure to the Formula DRIFT round in Florida. Now I’m back, and it’s JAMESON TIME!
This is Church, we met him here at the Backstage Bar in Tacoma. While TJ the Road Dog and Ben the Shredder were unloading the van, Church took a moment to show Dan what Wiz Khalifa’s Black and Yellow is all about. Dan: “hm”
After that, Dan busted out my skateboard and shook off the cobwebs. You’d be surprised at how fast they grow when you’re in the band-van for a few hours each day… gotta stay loose!
Meanwhile inside, Matt Bomb and Jay relaxed and played a few games of pool. The venue was awesome inside, and had the best sound I’ve ever heard in a concert venue. Something like 15 20″ subwoofers lined the bottom of the stage, which made Jay’s bass and Chad’s TR-808 shake the place like thunder. It was incredible.
Jay letting his kihap out before striking the cue with the force of a 100 ninja masters.
This is Annie, one of the many lovely staff members at The Backstage. I think she’s smokin hawt, and I think Church agrees. High five, Church.
In addition to a killer sound system, pool, and hinas for staff, The Backstage has a killer green room! Here’s Jameson hanging out with tour-mates Maleva before soundcheck.
Jay: Holy shit! they have Shinobi!!!
After just a little bit of fixing, Jay had it working like new.
Keanuuu! *throws panties*
Have I told you I love fog machines? I f*ing LOVE fog machines.
Jameson brought the fury to Tacoma for sure. Even after being on the road for almost a week the guys were playing each show as hard if not harder than the last. The hair says it all!
There were spots on the stage for the staff-cuties to dance on, and when they started up I don’t think they knew what they were in for. Annie looks happy in this pic, only moments before her entire head was blown off by the sound of Jay’s bass.
Quesadilla guy: Nom Nom Nom, damn this band is heavy as f*ck!
Jared from Maleva jumped onstage to dump beer in Matt Bomb’s mouth, but by this pic it looks like he missed a bit. Ooops!
Here’s Annie again, I guess she didn’t get her head blown all the way off. Lol. By the way, Church, her right arm is how I got your number. 😉
I snapped this picture of Keanu watching Jameson play… I think at this point his was a little tired of me calling him Keanu. “But that’s your name!” I said.
Chad: TR-808 make good sound! 😀
Here’s Levi and his girlfriend April. Levi is responsible for this epic show happening. He’s also the owner of an EPIC party bus which we all rode over to the afterparty. More on that momentarily.
First, we’ll take a titty-break. Nice.
This is Grizz. He is one of the most hilarious bouncers I’ve ever met. I was stoked to see him two nights later in Kennewick, WA at that night’s show. Grizz knows how to pit!
On to the party bus! Did I mention it came with a monkey head? Shit yes.
We arrived at the after party only to find that it was totally bunk. A bunch of people standing around outside someone’s house with barely any beer. In fact, this one douche decided that the beer was in such short supply he should charge everyone for it. Trust me buddy, when a band like Jameson comes to your town you don’t try to charge them for shitty beer. We proceeded to break all the windows in his car and the west side of his house, and I think TJ may have raped his cat.
*f*ck you, beer charging guy* <3 Jameson + LifeBlasters
Stay tuned for more! We've got hippy towns, severe foot injuries, boobs, and of course, heavy metal!
