I saw the Thunderchiefs play a few months back, when they opened for Jerry Cole in San Antonio, and was blown away. I'll definitely be attending this weekend long event in Feb. Cant wait. By the way, when are the Thnderchiefs going to release their debut album? I know it will be killer! Top

surf_agent Joined: Jul 10, 2006 Posts: 102 San Antonio, TX	Posted on Dec 30 2006 01:40 PM The Jerry Cole show: The Thunderchiefs opened the show, and were by far, the highlight of the night. A great collection of covers, and some incredible originals, showed the San Antonio crowd what a real surf band should sound like. After the Thunderchiefs, came the rockabilly band called Chadd Thomas & The Crazy Kings. Being a fan of rockabilly, these guys were really good. Great musicians, and the singer even swings is hips like Elvis did. Then came Jerry Cole. Since I had never scene Jerry before, I had nothing to compare this show to other shows. He got on stage a played through one of his 60's numbers, to get the set started. Then it went downhill fast. I'm not sure if its just that he's getting up there in years, or if the rumor about him getting drunk in the parkinglot before the show is true, but after the first song, Jerry had a little trouble staying up. A few times he fell into the drums, and even once fell to the ground, while still playing, and had to be helped back up by the stage hands. After the first set, me and the girlfriend had had enough. A very interesting night to say the least. Top

Sonichris Joined: Mar 06, 2006 Posts: 1892 Wear gloves - I'm in the Rockies	Posted on Dec 30 2006 02:58 PM This is Colorado bands meets Texas bands. Wormtone Records is in Denver, as are the Orangu-Tones, Eddie Clendening, and the Aquasonics. `This is the last time the Orangu-Tones will perform- EVER! Frat-rock at it's finest. They have decided to call it a day after this gig. Too many family obligations, etc. Too bad, they are great fun. Eddie Clendening is a Rockabilly prodigy. He's 23 now (I think) and can sing and play like you can't believe - He's really great.` The A-Sonics have a new drummer and bass player. More power! `I've also seen Long John Thomas and the Duffs - from Kansas City I believe - Very cool band! They do English Mersey Beat style music, all while having a good sense of humor - When I saw them they were really fun to watch.` It will be a great show - Chris — "You can't tell where you're going if you don't know where you've been" Top

Jerry's a good guy and he can still play, but kinda gets into "shedding" a bit. I don't know if he really gets it. He likes his pedals. He's got some great stories. He thinks he's still 21 year old.:lol: I'll tell y'all who's a must see, George Tomsco. He plays and sounds exactly the same as he did with the Fireballs on the same white Jazzmaster he got in 62. Hit after hit after hit. This is gonna be a fun show, we cant wait to see the Aquasonics! Thanks for kind words about the T-chiefs y'all. — The Thunderchiefs Top

A few times he fell into the drums, and even once fell to the ground, while still playing, and had to be helped back up by the stage hands. I was concerned when I read this because I am trying to set up a show for Jerry Cole in the Bay Area, so I talked to the San Antonio promoter to find out what happened. First, Jerry is in his 60s and on heart medication. He has to take a ton of pills every day, and on this day he accidentally took his heart medication before the show rather than after. Apparently, you are supposed to take the heart meds before bed as they will make you dizzy (and fall into drums.) The promoter and Jerry's band (3 Balls of Fire) were very concerned, a call was made to his wife in LA, but the show went on, such as it did. Jerry is not a drinker, and could not have played the thousands of studio dates that he has if he had any kind of substance abuse problem. Mike Vernon of 3 Balls says that the San Anotonio club will have Jerry back as soon as possible. I know this sounds like "spin", but FWIW I thought you should hear the other side. --ferenc — Buy Speed of Dark @ Bandcamp Buy Spin the Bottle @ Bandcamp My Blog- Euro Tour Blog Pool Boys on Spotify INSTAGRAM Frankie & The Pool Boys on FB Pollo Del Mar on FB DJ Frankie Pool Boy on North Sea Surf Radio Top
