My review of the show

Posted by Doug Harper on Monday, February 8, 2010, In : REVIEWS 
It was a good feeling to get to rock out on a half stack like the good old days. The guys were really feeling good about the set and we all put forth an honest effort to rock. The crowd was slow but they received us well, and seemed to be jamming along good, and stuck it out through all three sets that we played, as there was no opener it was just us, Hollywood Adventure that night at the Comedy Tonight Theater on the Nevada square on Saturday, February sixth. I felt like it was a great way t...

The Show Must Go On!

Posted by Doug Harper on Monday, February 1, 2010, In : REVIEWS 

Even with a snow covered roadway the show must go on. The lights danced in front of the Comedy Tonight Theater on a cloud covered, frosted evening Saturday January 30, 2010. While a few cars drove slowly by looking to see what was happening on the Nevada square that night, many more stopped to see the action. Two performers were set to perform that night, Alamo Black a duo consisting of Nathan Rorabaugh, Nevada Missouri, and Clinton Houseman, Springfield MO, and Matthew Harper a solo singer ...

Lamar RockFest Review

Posted by Dangerous Doug Harper on Sunday, January 17, 2010, In : CONCERT REVIEWS 

About a week ago a message was sent out on Facebook announcing that a concert called the Lamar RockFest was to be held at the Lamar Memorial Hall, in Lamar Missouri. What? A single word sentence was exactly the first thing that came out of many residents mouths when they read the content of the post. The most alarming part was that the post was true; a RockFest would be coming to the Lamar Memorial Hall.

On the evening of Friday January 15, 2010 the Memorial Hall was transformed into a rock co...

"White Batman"

By: Dangerous Doug Harper

Some times things that don't seem to have anything in common, end up surprising us all. As for instance if you were in a casual conversation you would probably not talk about Batman, and the Beatles, in the same sentence, although something of this magnitude could occur, as it did for me. Though it was not in conversation, it was quite possible that I was h...

On the Scene #2

By: Dangerous Doug Harper

 

I recently attended a Weezer and Blink 182 concert in Kansas City, and I was shocked at how un-friendly the crowd of people was there. I have been to a lot of major concerts in my day and even though you are jam packed together everyone has always managed to still have fun and enjoy the show. This was not the case at my recent outing. The two bands have such a different fan base that fans of one band were different than fans of another, and it made for...

“Eight things music fans want to know”

By: “Dangerous” Doug Harper                         

 

A few days ago at lunchtime, it was brought to my attention that one of the ongoing events that I have been involved with for the past year and a half was going un-noticed. Not completely un-noticed mind you, but the important little details tend to be hidden from the public-at-large. Often times one has to be in the know, so to speak, to find out about these events and ...
