Rude Behavior? What do you think?
Bushmaster (Gary Brown - guitar, vocals; Vinnie Hunter - bass; Greg Phillips - drums) start their second set at Delmarva Bike Week 2009 with one of their original songs "Good Life".
Usually when there are multiple bands performing on the same stage, the same day, there is a short 15-20 minute switch over time (for the bands to move equipment around). This day there was a whole hour between bands - plenty of time (and then some)... Watch what is going on behind us by the band scheduled to go on after us - Aeroforce (an Aerosmith tribute band from Canada)...
With that in mind - How do you explain this rude behavior (at the beginning of our second hour - two hours before the next band is scheduled to start)???...
A.) the fact that we played our own original music - and the crowd liked it?
B.) did Gary not mention their band enough (even though he said it almost every song)?
C.) did one of their girlfriends stare at Gary too much, or clap too much?
D.) All of the above?
What do you think about what happened? Has something like this happened to you or your band? Please give me some feedback...

Delmarva Bike Week 2009 - part 1
Gary Brown and his band Bushmaster performed at Delmarva Bike Week 2009 (www.delmarvabikeweek.com). From 2pm till 4pm at the Winter Place Park in Salisbury, MD, they entertained motorcycle enthusiasts from all over the country. Thanks to Kerry Mendenhall for organizing the event, Skip and his crew from Mirage Sound Co for doing such an awesome job on running the stage and the sound.
Gary Brown - guitar, vocals
Vinnie Hunter - bass
Greg Phillips - drums
This is the first of several blogs we will post from Bushmaster's performance that day, make sure you check out some of the other clips too. We recorded audio cliips too and you can find those on our podcast (www.podomatic/profile/bushmasterblues) and/or embedded in our blog (www.myspace.com/bushmasterblues). I tried to merge the zoom audio onto the video footage, but my computer isn't cooperating... time for a new hard drive arghh...
Anyway, the weather was perfect, the crowd was receptive and cool, and we got to see all manner of cool motorcycles. Michelle Oxley from the Beachcomber newspaper interviewed me ahead of time to generate buzz about our performance, click here to read the article. As always, I'd love to hear your feedback, comments, pictures you took at the show, your memories from the event, etc.
Thanks, we had fun !!!

Bushmaster in Berlin (MD that is - near Ocean City)
Hey Guys - even though the beach is closed now, and despite the fact that it was rainy-cold all the way there - we went early so we could walk on the beach for a few minutes before the gig. Surprise, just as we crossed the last bridge into Ocean City, the sky parted, sun peaked through, and there was a seagull on most of the light posts watching the sky change colors with us... Amazingly the water was warm and calm too, couldn't resist, got wet up past my knees...
The gig at the Steer Inn (www.myspace.com/thesteerinn) was fun too. We were greeted by a warm/supportive crowd ready to party.
Here's four songs from our performance for you to enjoy and/or download... Crossing my fingers that Friday's show (9/18/09) at Delmarva Bike Week (2pm-4pm on the stage at Winter Place Park, 6737 Blue Ribbon Rd, Salisbury, MD 21804) will have great weather and we will get a chance to swim in the ocean one more time this year... Hope to see you there! :-)
As always, please let me know what you think of the clips, all your critiques help me get better!
