LOL Dave. I looked up from getting a last round of beers and there you were onstage w/ The 'Hoods! My jaw dropped. If you could have seen the look on Lee's and J Po's faces. Priceless.

I only wish Jimmy was there to see it.

You have to have the image up on a webpage before you can post here. Just an FYI for ya!!!!

"and she's the clickiest giiiirl'

.......that guy who sang "queen bitch" was GREAT and I'm glad he got up! i totally dont know the words..............i hope i redeemed myself on the zz top tune! i was honored to be up ther with one of the worlds greatest bands!

John Powhida of The Rudds? If that's who you mean, yes, he really is great. A great showman, as well. The high ranges he can reach with his voice is mindboggling.

!@# is the head Rudd himself, right?

..........................................thanx carm, !@# is me yes. i thought that dude who just got up and did the bowie was good too!

Dave actually said "J PO, if you know the words, come up and sing them" in which he did.

Oops!

Finally registered, didja? Awesome to see you, brief as it was, the other night. I am sorry to say we missed you on stage. Michael's back was hurting, and we didn't want to run into the nasty lady and potentially have to fight her off on the way out, so we departed before the grand finale.

Oh..Ok it was hard to hear exactly what he said. I guess that's why Lee looked surprised.

Yeah, I was right by the pole and he started on like the 3rd song. It sucked. Then he started again later in the set with the his hand going around somebodys throat. That's when Dave stepped in. (where were the bouncers? does Ralph have bouncers?) After Dave stepped in Lee went up and gave the guy a kiss. Only Lee could get away with kissing a guy ready to go postal.

Great Hoods show Saturday night. First time at Ralphs - I would go back. I tried to get a few pictures but was too far back for many of them to come out. Thanks to the other folks posting their pictures. Here's one that is not too bad.

/Mike

Bring this Logo back .......

I must have been standing right next to you - I had the same view. Anyway, fuck him and his gay Axl Rose headwear.

Great Neighborhoods though when, during a song, they realized what was happening and changed it. Man, those guys remind me how to have fun.

Any opinions on Minehan's First Act guitar? I, for one, was relieved when the Gibson came out. That black guitar looked cool, but for balls out sound, the LP was the clear choice.

I loved that guitar! It had great warm tone. Did you notice the Vox amp mic'd with a 50's-style mic?

Here are some of the pix we took:

Thinner:




















Unfortunately, all the ones I took of Lee turned out either blurry or really dark

pic i took from the side

No pictures of Lee in his gas station uniform? What up with that?

David looks like he's eating chili, it takes a brave man to eat chili before a gig.

Great pics Elaw and Toronto!
thanks for posting them

Yikes! What an amazing show! As I'm sure you heard, I took a million pictures. Here are a few of them for now...

I like the pic of Dave eating chili and Johnny checking out the Reptilemen album backstage......thanks Toronto.

Hey, just wanted to say a hearty hello and thanks to the many new faces we met at the Hoods show Saturday night. We appreciated the support, and though the Hoods were the true stars of the show we were thrilled to be playing with them again.

K 2 ... sorry about our web page, I've been trying to get that resolved for a few weeks now and am told that it will be fixed very soon.

Toronto Hoods fan, please e-mail me I have something for you.

Can't wait to hear the news from Texas next week. Cheers!

I hear the Dents are on the Albany bill!

What Albany bill? Do you know something I don't?

I will never cease to be amazed by the wonder known as Dave's hair.

Best. Rock. Hair. Ever.

I know I live in Albany.
I know the the 'Hoods are super popular here.
I Know that Albany is closer to Toronto than Worcester.
I know the 'hoods "new drummer" kicks ass!
I know that the Dents are prettier than the Rudds.*
*I know the Club owner in Albany now knows that.
I know how to start a good rumor based in some truth!

I know that I can't get into Canada until 2008!!!
I know I have to say thanks for the drummer comment!!!
I know too that the Dents are prettier than the Rudds especially Craig and Kevin.
I know I've never played Albany in my life, but saw KISS there once.
I know that you know how to start a good rumor based on some truth.
I know the HOODS will be playing tons and tons of more shows!!!
I know I made a nasty comment, even though it was a joke, on stage last Saturday and was warned!!!

Here are a few more pictures of the big show...

Great pictures Dickie...



What was that, the one about the ATM?

Mike at wdoa is working on the show now as I type this.
Watch this space wdoa/worm bros.
It should be up tonight or tomorrow

Dickie those photos are F-ing awsome!!!

They really capture all the energy that was up there on stage

Thanks!!

Dents and Hoods in Albany?

Where do you people here these rumors?

Albany is VERY do-able.. I'm there.

I'm inspired by all these long-distance Hoods fans

I think Albany needs a HUGE showing of the 'FUCK YOU WE'RE FROM BOSTON" shirts.

Maybe the guy with the red bandana can come with us

-Thnks Jack69boots & K2! Did I meet you at the show? Are you in one of the crowd shots?
-Thanks Emma-o (glad you could get your records signed) & Carm! As long as the ladies are in my corner, I say let 'er rip!


It was one hell of a show!

No, I didn't meet you, at the time I wouldn't have known you.. but now I do..I remember the guy taking photos.

As for me, your last photo, on the left directly above the pointed finger with the top of my head cut off by the edge of the photo.

hey wave look at you and me in the right corner im trying to shoot over your lmao

NO! and NO! I didn't know who you were until Carmelita mentioned you and by that time, the place was clearing out.

LB posted the Neighborhoods interview and the entire show on his site as a 2+ hour MP3. The entire show is dedicated to last Saturday night.

There is more than one club in Albany besides that dump downtown with that egomaniac of an owner.

Thanks LB and K2. Awesome stuff indeed.

"Suck it up, Lee"

Thanks. It was a great show. Question from a computer moron.... Can this show be downloaded from LB's site???? I am listening as we speak. I videotaped the show, but I was too close to the stage and the sound is crap. Gotta learn to sacrafice my immediate pleasure for future pleasure. Nice seeing all of you. Ralph's is a great place..very Rat like and I miss the Rat a great deal. Wish it was closer but I'll be back.

Larry the Rat

Usally it's available to download, but Mr Mike had to remove that option for now I guess due to high volume of traffic. Hopefully when it quites down he can put it back. I'm not good with the tecnical stuff, just on air talent.
