Some Tunes

What do you do when it’s raining all the time? Find someplace indoors to skate maybe? I like going to shows and so I just wanted to mention a few that I have been to lately and hype up the groups a little bit.

Here’s the list:

The Heels – They were super fun and I know them. Don’t let that challenge you though…
Lights From Space – I’ve written about them before and used them in some videos. Good stuff also.
Brokaw – Huge big sounding rock.
Akimbo – Some more HUGE.
The Fat Kids – a little Motown soul in your soup.
Tanks of Zen – reminds me of some 90’s… Good stuff. Old school friend of mine in this group.
Hippie Speedball – Great name and good solid sound. I know them too.

Go out and support your local music scene!

Go skate too…

Here’s a video of a brand new Seattle skatepark that has a nice set of lights and so we couldn’t resist going over there and checking out the first night that they were on. It was bloody cold but we got in a short session with some local skater pals. Go skate!

Happy 2012!!

Here we are at the end of our first year at Oh My Back. Thanks to the people who check us out and most of all thanks to the great group that makes this place happen. Especially, Mike, Mikhel, Andy and Rich, because without you guys this wouldn’t be worth doing. Also thanks go out to David, Matt, Erik, Ted, Dan, June, Morris, Ami, Maryanne, Gin (sorry about the photo..) , Doug, Ping and anybody else who went on or participated in our skate tripping shenanigans in 2011. The Lincoln City trip was too much fun and without our extended Oh My Back skater pals it wouldn’t have been.

We planned on doing some things but as usual going skating took a front seat while other projects took the back seat. After all, that’s what we’re about skating (other things too but skating is the thing) and who knows how much longer we will be able to do that so getting some skating in while we can is important.

So my friends… Here’s to the future! We have a bunch of trips and other crap planned and it should be a good ride.

Also I’d like to give a heartfelt rest in peace to Peter Starrs. You were fun to watch and such a good guy to talk to and I’m sorry that I won’t get to see you around and admire your skating anymore.

Thanks for reading.

Go skate!!
