Here are some photos from the Drunk & Horny show last night at the Rhythm Room
Photos by Troy Farrah. 

DAY ONE: we drove to las cruces in 4 and a half hours hoping/thinking we could make it in time to play a strangers engagement party at a winery. We didn’t realize there is a time difference when we crossed state lines so we arrived when it ended. But we got to play some songs for people at the after party which was filled with beautiful people and lots of dancing. Andrew and I felt like we were in a dream. At one point I said to Andrew “I’ve never felt so happy to see other people happy” it was strange.

DAY TWO: we woke up around noon and got breakfast burritos from Bosa Donuts (not affiliated with the Bosa Donuts that we love and cherish in Phoenix) they were filling and only cost $2.75 each. Andrew bought a 24 pack of PBR, I bought 3 gallons of water and we started drinking them immediately when we returned to the farm and began recording. While Andy Hiller set up the recording equipment we finished writing and arranging parts for four new songs and a bunch of covers then got right into recording. We started with our cover of GST mugwumps “I hope we break up” followed by rolling stones “what to do” and what I hope will be our next big original hit “sex addict”. Around 6pm we decided to get some food at a local taco shop that I can’t remember the name of, but they had great pork tacos and Chile rellenos. When we got back to the farm we recorded “get drunk and screw” it’s our only song that features percussion using vintage drum machines played by alhhla. And then a cover of “number three” by the adjusters. While recording it Andrew got bit by a spider on his hand and couldn’t play anymore. We got him some benadryl and our new transient hippie friends from New Orleans gave him some hippie oils and we had to cut recording short for the night.

DAY THREE: we woke up at 10am and decided to not allow ourselves to shower, eat or freshen up until the recordings were finished. We recorded 3 brand new originals - “I love to lie”, “tempe town lake” and “handicap girl” first then moved onto a cover of TMBG’s “alienation’s for the rich”, Bangarangs “Network” and Ernie K-Does “cried my last tear” at that point we were completely out of tape and decided to call it a day. We finally showered and went to the delicious food co-op they have in town and ate giant sandwiches and smoothies. When we got back to the Farm we had to do some chores and help clean up a little bit and fill up all the water containers they have for the party show that was going to happen later that night. It was fantastic by the way! We played two sets including almost all the new songs we recorded the previous days. Most everyone seemed to enjoy them. There was also a wonderful magician who performed his name is Jaime “The Magic Guy” he did these card tricks that completely blew my mind. I still get chills just thinking about it. We sold a handful of records and a CD and got enough money in donations to cover the cost of gas there and back.

I can’t wait for these recordings to be mixed and mastered so we can share them with the world, because I think they are the best thing Drunk & Horny has ever done.

Here are my top 10 favorite shows I went to in 2014
02-11-2014: Sweat Lodge w/Fathers Day, Wolvves, Dinosaur Love and Shawnte Orion @The Trunk Space - Sweat Lodge played 5 shows in Phoenix, AZ during the month of February I went to 3 of them. This was the funnest/best one. Everyone did an awesome job, Shawnte Orion took some great black and white photos of the night that you can see here.

03-11-2014: Mary Ocher w/Drunk & Horny, Man Cat, Beauty Secrets, Drunk & Horny and Hopehorse & the Grief Triggers @Filmbar - The Filmbar asked me to find local acts to play with Mary Ocher and that was not an easy thing to do, a lot of the most obvious fits couldn’t do it and it is the same month as SXSW which is a total nightmare, so with all of the artists I asked to play I made sure that they could also promise to provide an excellent one of a kind performance and take advantage of the amazing intimate theater… and everyone did something exceptional. I think the most stand out performance though was by Man-Cat.

04-08-2014: INDIE 500 DAY 10 w/Polka Dot Dot Dot, Stephen Steinbrink, Human Behavior, Straight Straws and Man-Cat @The Trunk Space - The whole Indie 500 festival was awesome, pretty much everyone brought their “A” game for all 10 days. But the final night I felt was the best. It was the first time I cried tears of joy at a show in years and it was during Polka Dot Dot Dot’s set which was so amazing. I wish they were still making music together.

06-15-2014: Fathers Day w/Snake Snake Snakes, SOAM, No Dice and Soft Shoulder @51West - This show was really really bizarre, it was the first time ever that I saw all of the different types of people who like Fathers Day interacting with one another and the result was a very bizarre/memorable night for everyone. I think actually most people who went didn’t actually like the show, but I definitely did. Also probably the most memorable SOAM performance ever. I honestly have no idea how he could ever top what he did that night.

08-11-2014: Cumstain w/Fathers Day, Wavelengths, Jawwzz and Button Struggler @Funny World - Every band played a short and high energy set, no fights, everyone donated, touring bands got paid, started on time, didnt run too late. Perfect house show in my opinion.

08-30-2014: Drunk & Horny Orchestra w/Jerusafunk, Dinosaur Love, Mercury Mines and Eli Kluger @Funny World - This was the album release show for Drunk & Hornys “Songs in the key of Stink” 7" and we played with the full 12 piece orchestra. Andrew was pretty sloshed but still held it together and did a great job. Jerusafunk was phenomenal, Dinosaur Love played to a tiny group of people who were hanging onto every word, Mercury Mines is a new band that got added to the bill as a favor to Jason Kron (who runs Funny World) and I was expecting them to suck but they didnt, they were really great! and I cant forget Eli Kluger who killed it with a short comedy set and on the 3-4 songs he sang with the orchestra.

09-08-2014: Mary Ocher w/Numb Bats, Hiccups and Drunk & Horny Orchestra @Filmbar - Mary Ocher’s quick (sorta last minute) US west coast tour/honeymoon show was also at Filmbar, didnt have nearly as many people as her other show earlier in the year but a much more fitting lineup, everyone did amazing and the Numb Bats especially played the tightest set I have ever seen them play.

09-16-2014: Clipping w/Treasure Mammal and Fathers Day @The Trunk Space - Fathers Days set was a lot of fun because most of the crowd it seemed had never heard us before. Treasure Mammal was epic! and Clipping was so inspiring and so incredibly loud and it was my first time seeing people mosh to hip hop which was pretty entertaining.

10-08-2014: Belle & Sebastian @The Orpheum - This show was originally scheduled to be outside at Civic Space Park (i think?) but at the last minute it was moved to the beautiful Orpheum theater because it was cold and rainy. Honestly wasn’t planning on going if it was going to be outside, the orpheum was so much better and totally amazing. Belle and Sebastian played for over two hours and played every song I wanted to hear.

11-21-2014: Man-Cat w/Treasure Mammal, Boss Frog and Pro Teens @The Trunk Space - I am so proud of the animals in Man-Cat, They provided so many extra things to their performance to make it an extra special experience for their album release show. Including a protest, brain washing video being shown by over a dozen television sets…etc it ruled. The Trunk Space was also packed and all the openers did great.

I just finished making this poster. Now it’s official. Now people know. Now… I gotta finish making these records….
Here is the event page

Drunk and Horny played two shows on Saturday. One at ASU Tempe Campus for Clusterfest and the other at The Trunk Space as part of their 10 Year Anniversary Indie 500 Marathon thing.
​
Both of them were a lot of fun. I wish we played more.
