edited August 2008 in The Porch
The incredibly talented guitarist and genuinely nice guy, last seen smashing a Les Paul on VH1’s Rock Honors: The Who, will rock a couple of small Seattle clubs in August. McCready’s killer UFO tribute band, Flight to Mars—until now an exclusively annual benefit act—will turn up at an El Corazon-hosted Seattle Tattoo Expo afterparty on the 8th. (They’ll support Duff McKagen’s new band, Loaded.) On August 27, McCready’s Shadow 86 (his first band, reunited after 20 years) plays an early show—a Jimmy Jimi Hendrix Tribute, people!—at the Tractor.

    How awesome it's times like these when I wished I lived in Seattle.
    Here’s a question you might need to ask
    What’s self destruction and how can we last?

    Coming up a which way sign. All good truants must decide."

    UFO tribute band is pretty out there too. I don't hear much of Michael Schenker's influence in Mike's playing tho--Hendrix yes. Mike plays in more of a pentatonic minor/major style than does Schenker, whose use of modes of the major scale set him apart from a lot of his contemporaries in the 70s.

    Are tickets for the Tractor sold out? They are no longer available through ticketweb.

    Zack, the intrepid trooper who brought you the entire Pearl Jam East Coast tour via video, will be shooting this one as well. The link will be posted on this forum as soon as it's generated. If you can't make it to Seattle, make it to your computer for the show :)
