Singer needed!!

I received a call from Tim Beyer the other night. Tim was the guitarist in Profane. Recently he made the decision to strike out on his own and see what he can get going. Tim said that he has the music written for 12 songs and needs a singer to complete the band, which is going to be called Modifier. Musically, he's looking for someone who can sing aggressively, yet still sing clean vocals. If you think you want to take a shot, email Tim at modifiermusic@gmail.com Tim is planning on touring anywhere and everywhere once he gets things in place, so only serious candidates need apply.

Everyone has one

Everyone has an opinion on the whole Brett Favre situation. I figured I'd weigh in with my thoughts. Personally, I wish him all the luck in the world. If he wants to play, let him play. I know it's hard to think of Brett wearing a Vikings uniform. At his press conference it felt like bizarro world. There was Brett, looking like he always looks (Does he not have any other hats?), but holding up a purple #4 jersey. Part of me hopes that he does good, just because of all the years he gave the Packers. But he can't do too good, otherwise it will harm the Packers season. Basically, I'm not sweating Brett being a Viking. I've heard people act like this is a personal insult, but it's just a game. If Brett was still capable of being the old Brett, he would be wearing the green and gold yet. If the Vikings beat the Packers, it will be a team effort, not just the quarterback. No matter what, it's going to be interesting.!

It's about time

I hope that the Sports Machete forgives me for stepping on his toes a bit, but I am going to post about the Milwaukee Brewers. Today they finally made some moves that hopefully gets the team headed in the right direction. JJ Hardy got sent to the minors. Bill Hall is pretty much done and they fired pitching coach Bill Castro. It's about time. The pitching has been struggling for the most part since June. While the Hardy move isn't the most popular in my household, it's going to be for the better. My daughter likes JJ and she cried when I told her the news. Bill Hall won't be missed. He could not get anything going the last three years! I have a feeling that this won't be the end of the moves either. Next year, I doubt Corey Hart will be around, unless he finds a magic bat somewhere and starts hitting. Mike Cameron is done too. He might be solid defensively, but he does nothing at the plate. Last night was the first time I've seen him hit the ball solidly in a long time. Usually it's just strike three! Trevor Hoffman must be loving life right now. He's getting paid for not working. The Brewers are on such a slide that they don't need a closer! I have a feeling that the slogan for the Timber Rattlers will apply for the Brewers next year. New Crew, more fun. There will be a lot of house cleaning before it's all done.

Justin, you now can post a column about music once, instead of sports!

Hatebreed!

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Decimation of the Nation tour. All of the bands were killer and I think they were very happy with the turnout. The crowd was into it from the get-go and that makes for an awesome show. I did not know that Winds of Plague were that popular. Chimaira put down a solid set. They were a great opener for Hatebreed. Everyone was primed by the time Jamey and crew came out. Hatebreed played all of their big songs and a cover of Ghosts of War by Slayer. Good set. The crowd was rabid all night. The pit was intense. A couple of questions popped into my head during the night. What was with the guy wearing the jumpsuit? That had to be mega hot wearing that! Is Jamey Jasta going to come out with his own brand of hard core aerobics? Some of those moves were humorous. Will more bands of this caliber please come to Green Bay?

Extra thanks to the people rocking the shirts by local bands. I saw a few people wearing Profane shirts and a Slam I Am shirt. That's so cool that you are showing your support for the local music scene.
