OOOOoooooooo.. scary!
OOOOoooooooo.. scary!

Guys! I want to express my excitement for this coming weekend when this little blogperation of mine presents a live show with two fantastic bands, Jack Thunder & The Road Soda (Fort Worth) and The Ghost Babes (Waco). Both come from a similar environment where everyone is tight.

Btw, you guys might not already know that I have a podcast on soundcloud and in a recent episode in a interview with Drew Harakal, he answered the question about why the Fort Worth music scene is as tight as it is. All of this makes sense because it's all of the well-known live music establishments are within walking distance of each other. Dallas still hasn't figured that out yet. Well, they have but they're got a lot of infrastructure to shift around if they want it to happen like it does there.

In any case, the Ghost Babes are stoked about this coming weekend and so am I. We had a wee chat earlier just to see where we're at with things.

Zoe Dune: "I summon a... GHOST BABE!"

Ghost Babes: "GHOST BABES PRESENT. Savannah and Eric speaking."

Zoe Dune: "WHOA! I didn't know I had the power to summon more than one babe!"

Ghost Babes: "ha-ha. we share a life so its pretty easy!"

Zoe Dune: "My dreams came true!" 
Ghost Babes: "Sure honey attracts the flies. But you'll get more honies being fly!" 
Zoe Dune: "What's up guys!? What are you doing right now at this moment today now, right this second! Not that second... THIS ONE!" 
Ghost Babes: "Ghost riding the couch and surfing YouTube." 
Zoe Dune: "What a life! In Waco of course!?" 
Ghost Babes: "Yeah yeah in Waco, at the ole casa de loafer." 
Zoe Dune: "GUYS! You're coming to DALLAS THIS WEEKEND!!! What asshole put you up to it?" 
Ghost Babes: "Ha-ha Some dude on the internet just hit us up. We're still not sure why!" 
Zoe Dune: "Maybe some paranormal babe stalker, which is a whole different fetish altogether. The internet is full of weirdos. But in any case, I haven't been to Waco in quite some time now. Would you say you dominate the music scene there with this and your other projects? In other words, you guys got that market cornered?" 
Ghost Babes: "THERE'S A MUSIC SCENE HERE? We're one of maybe 4 bands in our little scene of homies. We've got it cornered in that sense. There's tons of country metal cover bands here!" 
Zoe Dune: "Tell me about this project's origins. Definitely different from loafers?" 
Ghost Babes: "Well, Savannah had wrote some songs, I wrote some songs that never made it for LOAFERS so we put them into one set and started playing some shows. Our first show we had to find a band to open for our homies Lochness Mobsters so we just practiced for a week then played." 
Zoe Dune: "How long ago was this?" 
Ghost Babes: "It was in July. Half of LOAFERS went to Burger-a-go-go, so the other half teamed up with Veez." 
Zoe Dune: "How methodical are you guys with your songs? Anything you're trying to establish with it? I can't imagine that it's just song spillover right? Or maybe I'm locked in that traditional 'concept work' mindset?"

Ghost Babes: "Ha-ha, honestly mine just spilled over and we finished up Savannah's together. She wrote all of hers on ukulele and I helped figure them out on guitar." 
Zoe Dune: "What's your view on stuff that doesn't work? Like, when you're building something.. are you defiant to make it work or just toss it out?" 
Ghost Babes: "We have tossed a few, for sure. can't force something that doesn't work. It's kinda hard, sometimes, because you wanna write cool songs so you just fart them out and then later realized they're dumb. We wrote a song about our cat, Nessie. ....but how cool can a song about your cat really be?" 
Zoe Dune: "Well, cat people might be into it. That's dangerous territory though. Cat people usually don't venture out to see shows. So maybe you're right about that one. Cat songs are self-defeating." 
Ghost Babes: "If they're cat people like us, they ONLY venture out for shows. Ha!" 
Zoe Dune: "You guys have been floating around the DFW area a lot over the past several months right?" 
Ghost Babes: "This is actually our first show up there! LOAFERS have been tho, Savannah always ALWAYS rolls with the LOAF crew." 
Zoe Dune: "A lot of house shows too I take it?" 
Ghost Babes: "We've done a few house parties. We've mostly just played at TrueLove here in town and in Austin. In fact..this is going to be the last Ghost Babes show ever now that Savannah is playing bass in LOAFERS. We joined forces. It only made sense!" 
Zoe Dune: "Since you're getting a little taste of the travel life, are you looking to do more of it across the state? I'd like to think we're hold our own (or trying to) over here?" 
Ghost Babes: "Yeah totally! DFW zone is super tight but we are planning on hitting the road this summer." 
Zoe Dune: "Who with? What are these plans?" 
Ghost Babes: "As LOAFERS! Were not sure where to yet. We're recording next month so we are really focusing on that right now." 
Zoe Dune: "Right on, guys! Let's make that happen! Looking forward to Saturday!" 
Ghost Babes: "Yeah totally! Us too! Jack Thunder & The Road Soda have partied with us down here in Waco before so were stoked to kick it with those dudes again!" 
Pretty cheesy, right? Can't wait to hear more, right? We'll have more with them on next week's episode of the podcast. See if they can help me sort out some of my thoughts about things.
