well friends, as many of you know, for the last 8 years i have moonlighted as slash in a guns n' roses tribute band known around the world as Mr. Brownstone. it started as a dorm room joke, something fun for us to do for ourselves and our friends. we got dressed up like GnR one night, even going to the dining hall at conn college in our cheap and crappy costumes, and rocked the cro's nest at the student center for maybe 100 people.
it was great.
numerous stolen or destroyed top hats later we are somehow going stronger than ever. despite (although some have argued that as a result of) the fact that we have never really taken Mr B that seriously, we've landed some amazing gigs in NYC, boston and even a midnight slot on stage at bonnaroo opposite medeski, martin & wood and the flaming lips. our next adventure brings us to the national stage: an appearance on the late show with david letterman. axl rose's current lineup of what he calls "guns n' roses" is finally releasing the long awaited album chinese democracy the tuesday after our late show appearance. coincidence? hmmm... as luck would have it, Mr B has a big show at irving plaza the night after thanksgiving which mr letterman will plug. be sure to watch as we rock america wednesday, november 19th.
special guest: katie couric.
hey, it's just this thing we do...
