Come Rain, Wind, Hail, Snow, or Ice

Well, the unimaginable trend of ridiculous weather plaguing BL shows has not been put to rest as of yet. We have a long running history of pretty remarkable acts of nature leaving their own imprint on Bear Lake. While not as devastating as the tornado that ripped the roof off of our practice space last year, the storm that rolled into the Royal Oak area Saturday night roughly 30 minutes prior to our set at Arts, Beats, and Eats was pretty crazy. Transformers were blowing, illuminating the pitch black sky green. Fences were flying through the air, tents were turned into soaring tarps, trees were down, power was out, festival was closed.

We patiently waited in the van and were informed we were being delayed 15 minutes. This seemed impossible. But sure enough, the storm passed. We started loading gear to the stage, which resembled a slip and slide, and it seemed like it was going to be a downpour at any moment. A light sprinkle continued, but the gates were re-opened, and a lot of spirited, determined, and mostly intoxicated people surrounded the stage; feeling like it was meant to be, we started playing. A serious amount of thank you's to all of you who endured the craziness of mother nature to spend an hour or so with us this past weekend.

Good news for those who were too chicken to risk a little lightning strike this past Saturday: we will be playing at Cheli's in Detroit this Friday Night. While we are unable to promise you good weather - because based on how things have been rolling as of the last couple of years, we would bet on rain - we can promise you that Cheli's has a roof. So unless we are seriously unlucky, it should be a great night of partying, hosted by 93.9 The River. Besides, we feel the chances are very slim that we could have our hands in two roofs being ripped off in one calendar year:)
