Greetings Boat Car passengers. I welcome you to the online journal of four friends and a band called Boat Car. As I write this I glow in the remnants of passionate coitus. If you were to smell my breath I'd smell of Fat Tire Amber Ale and contentment.
BUT, I digress- I am Andrew Merriam, lead guitar player, and one of the songwriters in Boat Car. I guess the powers that be have put me in charge of updating this bloggy blog. I am the 1/4 mouth piece. Hopefully my cohorts will join me sometime on here. My cohorts? Jeff Wiens, brilliant song writer, acoustic guitar playing, red-headed mad man! Joe Dorr, solid human being, funky bass slapping, entertaining, clumsy court jester. Donny Broussard, does the dude ever relax? No, but he's passionate as hell about music and plays a mean set of drums.
The goal of this blog? To entertain our fans, to keep you posted of our whereabouts and opinions. When we hit the road to tour I will try to keep a road diary so you can keep up to date.
Last Thursday night we played a show at the Toad Tavern in Littleton. About 6 months ago Joe, Jeff, and I played there as a trio for an open mic night and we were the only ones there. This time, we knocked 'em dead with Boat Car. Jeff's Dad along with a big group of friends and family came out to support us and I don't think we disappointed. Having an enthusiastic crowd definitely pumps us up and improves our sound all around. All in all I give the Toad show 5 beers out of six.
We have an exciting Boat Car weekend coming up. Tomorrow/Tonight (Friday night) we play Wyatt's Torch in Aurora. We have four freaking hours to fill, so I'm sure we'll whip out some covers we've never played. I also plan on taking us to outer space for some Ursa Major type of jams. Then we'll group together and bring the energy. I'm looking forward to it.
Saturday night we play Bushwhackers just down the road from my house, just south of Denver on Broadway. We've played there before and had a good time. I look forward to making $36 bucks again!
Sunday we head down to Franktown, CO for some kind of stage coach festival. Should be interesting.
Well, I'll keep you guys posted on the shows. I hope to see some friends out there. I also hope to get the ball rolling in picking up fans.
Time to listen to some more Todd Snider (and the beautiful thunder outside my window) and drink another cold one-
Cheese Whistle McStink (AKA- Andrew)
