Tunesday: Drag the River

Since we're all about the appreciation of food, music and drink we need to cover some music.  Music that goes well with drinking.  Music that sings about drinking.  Music played by people drinking.  We're not talking about drunk musicians.  Well, in some cases we may, but calling someone a drunk is in poor taste and just mean.  Unless they deserve it, but I digress.

Here is our weekly post that is dedicated to the music we enjoy seeing performed and listening to.  We'll call it Tunesday because I think it's a clever play on the fact that it's about music and will be updated on Tuesdays.  Save your applause until the end.

This Tunesday's post is dedicated to a band we found a few years ago thanks to our friend Sean.  The band is called 'Drag the River' from Fort Collins, Colorado.  The two most consistent members of the band are both members of other notable bands.  Chad Price (vocals / guitar) was involved with 'All' and Jon Snodgrass was involved with 'Armchair Martian'.

'Drag the River' is a little different than both members prior bands, but it's some pretty damn fun drinking music.

We'll probably end up posting more about these guys after the weekend since they are always in town for Valentine's day for a gig down in Lake forest at the Gypsy Lounge.  They're calling it 'The 8th Annual Drag The River Valentine's Day BBQ and Booze-a-thon.'  We usually have a damn fine time drinking and carrying on, especially our friend Sean.  I think last year he bought the band a few rounds of shots just so they'd play requests.  Needless to say, they played the songs and took the shots.

I'll leave you with one last video of a song that always makes me happy.  I mean when you sing the line, 'when the creatures rape your face' with an acoustic and a bit of twang in your voice you can't go wrong.  I wonder if Glen ever saw that coming.
