Make this date a Red Letter Day in our Diary - July 11. That's Seven Come Eleven Big Slurpee Day to some, but to those of us blessed with Good Sense it's a great day to go see music at night. In this case it's a night of Solid Rock with three bands (count 'em, three!) taking the stage at Dan Electros Guitar Bar to help celebrate the birthday of our friend and drummer extraordinaire, Steve Candelari--otherwise known as Candy Larry.
My band, The Hand Me Downs will start things off at 9:00PM blast off time. The HMDs were formed to play the tunes of a local songwriter and late friend Fletcher Downs. It's great music folks and I'd love for you to hear it live in person.
We're followed by The Mockingbyrds--and excellent Byrds tribute band and then they clear the stage for Candy Larry's ultimate tasty freeze rock outfit Picturebook. As the name implies, they know a few Kinks songs as well as a terrific set list of music u love.
So in a nutcase--
WHO: The Hand Me Downs, The Mockingbyrds, Picturebook
WHAT: Candy Larry's Birthday Bash
WHEN: Saturday, July 11, 2009
WHERE: Dan Electros Guitar Bar
1031 E. 24th Street
HOW: Show up and pay the man at the door.
WHY: Because it will make you feel so good.

The Mockingbyrds, a Byrds tribute band in Houston, are reforming after a year off, and we’re looking for a new bass player. We focus primarily on the music from the original Byrds, up to “The Notorious Byrd Brothers,” but that doesn’t mean we won’t handle some of their later songs. We’re not trying to LOOK like the Byrds, but we do hope to bring some of the spirit of the era into the performance. We have been known to throw in music by the Buffalo Springfield and a few other bands of the mid-60s era, and are thinking of going further in that direction. Anyone interested? Anyone know someone who might be interested? Contact TwelveSixFour@gmail.com Thanks

Someone broke into Stephen's home and stole several guitars as well as a computer and some other household items. You can see pictures of the stolen guitars here.
