Party Time In Suburbia

Now, those of you who have heard the Jenny Kerr Band CD's and seen the live shows know fully well Philbillie's talents as a guitarist and singer. But a closer listen to those selfsame recordings will reveal a hidden side; that of bass guitarist. One could say it is his secret passion. Or not. But he wants it understood that the bass is not just a guitar with only four fat strings, but one that must get it's own due. Anyway, Philbillie will take any opportunity to play bass and just such an occasion presented itself with an invitation from our dear friend, Eric McFadden to join him and his long-time drummer Paulo Baldi (lately of Cake and Les Claypool's Frog Brigade) for a private function in the East Bay hills.


No dummy, Philbillie keeps his eyes glued to The Man.











Once the lights go out, no expense is spared for staging and Special FX.














Here, someone has foolishly left a perfectly good baby to the tender mercies of these obvious rock and roll reprobates. After a number of profit-making schemes are considered and discarded the mother returns, surprised to find we have actually put the little tyke right to sleep.
