"Jason and the Scorchers, Nashville's legendary rockers, will reform for one
concert only June 2, 2007 at the Exit In Nashville Tennessee. This will be a
benefit concert, with all profits earmarked to help pay the medical expenses for Perry Baggs. Perry is courageously fighting diabetes and kidney failure, and
is on dialysis 3 days a week. He is the original Scorchers' drummer, harmony
singer, and songwriter of some of the band's biggest songs. His courage in the face of his illnesses is a great inspiration to many in the Nashville music
community, as well as other diabetes and dialysis patients."

"Health permitting, Perry does plan to play drums on some songs at the show, and sing harmony. Warner E. Hodges will be on guitar, Jason Ringenberg on vocals, Fenner Castner on drums filling in for Perry as needed, and Kenny Ames on bass. Old Scorchers Ken Fox and Andy York may make an appearance if their schedules permit. The show will start promptly at 8:30 PM. The band will do two sets."

Jason also told the Reckless Country Soup mailing list
"If you want to see the band again in this format, you had best make this one. It's for a good cause, and who knows if something like this will ever happen again."

Tickets to the event are available through either Ticketbiscuit or Ticketmaster:
The Exit/In is located at 2208 Elliston Place in Nashville, Tn. Their phone number is (615) 321-3340. Here is a link to a Map of Nashville, with the location of the club highlighted.

Jason and the Scorchers last played together in 2003, in shows in Nashville, Wisconsin, Minneapolis, and Lincoln, Nebraska. Since then, lead singer and songwriter Jason Ringenberg has been touring to support his children's persona Farmer Jason (2006's Rocking in the Forest, 2004's A Day at the Farm) and several solo rock/folk albums (2003's Empire Builders, 2002's All Over Creation). You can learn more about Jason's recent travels and buy his albums at his website: www.jasonringenberg.com

Pollstar recently published a good article about Farmer Jason.

Warner Hodges currently playing with Stacie Collins and the Disciples of Loud!
Warner Hodges has been very enthusiastic about his work with Stacie Collins.
Warner has said Collins has recently encouraged him to open up his guitar technique and 'do what I do with the Scorchers.' This came after he played cautiously with her for his first few shows. Stacie Collins is a charismatic lead singer and an excellent blues harpist whose sound has recently veered more toward roots rock.

Warner also said he has done plenty of writing for the Disciples of Loud, but he hasn't had the time to record with them. The Disciples combine melodic hard rock with Warner and Todd Austin's fire-breathing guitar licks to make them one of Nashville's most exciting bands.

Warner will also play with BOTH Stacie Collins AND the Disciples of Loud on June 30 in Wapakoneta, Ohio at Rhythm and Brews' 10th-year anniversary party! Jason Ringenberg is also scheduled to play at this party! Given that Fenner Castner plays drums in the Disciples and the Scorchers, and Kenny Ames is the Scorchers' bassist as well as the original Disciples bassist, there might well be a mini-Scorchers reunion on June 30th in Ohio!

and so i publish. i publish to you, for him: that you would think of him. it is his wish.




dear reader,

here is the last message i received from Mr. Dante Fontana:

I just want to tell you that there is something wrong. A RUPTURE of the CHAIN. You must begin. I do not know, because it is erroneamente, exactly like the creatures of the living. I don't know why this is. Much wealth! And the end to finish mercies! My cold time was false. The general hour of the problem is my late face when the last weeks will come to suffer and be GONE.
They are evaluated.
I age.
The doctor...nevertheless, it could find nothing. To all the cases it is one, a definitive Schufterei odor, this blogging, of that I preoccuparsi.
Tasks that finish are better. They are not buzzards in everything.
They are videos of the right. The distant ones of the
separated warnings, and see, this is what happens. IV's...more later.
/Z.



and only minutes later the brave one tried to explain in words, dear reader, i could not comprehend:


...(like the tree of the trowel of the beginning of method)

Therefore, this that you can do:
- for the copy of incastonare the code
- in the context of the tree of the trowel of the beginning
(post for disporlo you must structure the
Beschreibers of manerĂ¡.

publish 'the certainty'
- the text it made, the code, more ahead
- the end

publish it to them is much that it would have to think


Something went wrong and I just learned to live with it.

I'll be gone.

Good luck!
/Z

and so i publish. i publish to you, for him: that you would think of him. it is his wish.

The proper place for me to start is in the beginning, with myself and the only video, to my knowledge, in which i appear:


OUR FAVORITE BAND, America's obscure, favorite, country band! Unbraced by the country-scenti until 2002, when chestnut-sniffing greyhound and obscuranter/mp3 blogger, scott soriano, atop his blog, Crud Crud, found an ugly little e.p. in a thrift store, fell in love and immediately pronounced his discovery, The Perfect American DIY 7":

Witness the only live footage ever captured of this reclusive clan. (E.Davies, trapped in a spiderweb, falls under the spell once again of the Recluse and seems to delight in the tension of the South's secretive antiheroes and wasted storytellers.) Writhe with snake handlers and choke down their poisonous hillbilly-pact in a bayou of bloated ecstasy, as they prod the edge of Man's law. Look away, look away...Dixieland, from the terrible ghost of neglect in this disturbing portrait of a singer mumbling the lyrics to his half-remembered song like Syd Barret from Bayou LaBloat.



Please stay tuned for updates on the decryptination of MDF's last message and for a few stunningly perfect blogettes, including:

a jerry lee lewis craunchy greatest videoblogette or two...

as well as blogettes on:

- Jason and the Scorchers' recent benefit concert for their ailing drummer
- a Nashville New Wave 80's Country-Punk Roundup


and, of course, more craunch than you can shake a craunch at!
