I'm trying to think of some new things to add on here. I have a lot of recordings, some lyrics and a lot of other things I can add, but I have everything so unorganized that it would take me quite some time to gather it all up.
I posted some new pictures of Echo Grove in the studio doing some playing. Click HERE to see them.
I will be posting some mp3's in the near future of some cover songs we are messing with. They are mainly songs that have been part of our playlist for the last many years.
Just ran acoss this. It is me playing drums for a guy who I really thought was going to do well, but he died of something or other before he did anything. He was great guy and I was proud to know him. Danny Frye doing "Heartless" with me on sloppy drums. Click on the song's name.
Here is an Arrogant Bastards recording of a Dead song, Me and My Uncle. Actually, it is a Papa John Phillips song.
Echo Grove is currently rehearsing new songs for our their CD to be recorded sometime this year. Of course if you know anything about us, it should be done sometime by the spring of 2010.
The new CD will have songs written by all the members of the band, so I am looking forward to that.
Come check out the Echo Grove My Space page. Add us too.
I put some pictures of Echo House studio up. Click here.
I am waiting to see if I can get some pictures of us playing at Bobby's house for Steve's 40th B-day party. It was Atzy, Bobby, me and Craig Carpenter on guitar. It was almost a Johnnie and the Commodes reunion, but Atzy Commode played bass. Once again we were shut down by the cops and it couldn't have ended any other way. Craig wanted to name us Johnnie's Psychedelic Intestine that night, so maybe that is what it was. I had just gotten an operation that Tuesday. I'll see if I can find some pics.
A shot from The Pigroast. July 15th, 06. We had fun and I fell in the mud.
I changed this to a blog.
Ok, some pictures of the studio are up.
I am working on updating "Echo House Studio" and will be putting up pictures and some other stuff in the near future.
The second Echo Grove CD is available now. Click on the picture to purchase it or our first CD "Psycho Magnet".
I now have a MySpace space. Feel free to visit me there and add me if you wish.http://www.myspace.com/johnnieeckert
* I had a nasty hard drive crash and some of the material for this is lost forever. I was able to salvage some of it, but it looks like we will be needing to re-record some of the songs.
The Arrogant Bastards are in the process of recording a "Roots" CD that will include songs that we liked as children. Click on the song title to hear a pre-mixed version of an old traditional song called "Black Dog". I tried my hand at adding mandolin and dobro. This is a rough mix of the song.More will be posted soon.
