We also had our lead singer, Dave Warner get ill during the first set, so our good friend Keith from Nasty Jack stepped in and pulled off a great performance. We couldn't have finished the night without Keith.

This year we are teaming up with the local band Plastic Soul and this will be a great party.May 25th, 2009: What a great weekend of music. The weather was perfect. We had two big shows starting Sat night at Jack-sons. The was a blast and the parking lot was full to capacity. Thanks always to our friend Chuck at Jack-sons for building the best party in town. We certainly kick-off Summer 09 in style. Sunday at Clover Island was just as fun. We opened up the Clover Island summer concert series yet again with the annual Jimmy Buffet Tribute band, "Garett Wilkens and the Parrotheads". Another homerun with the weather and the crowd was the largest I have seen at Clover Island yet. Full to the bream with people all having a great time. Mark Boltz at Clover Island has got a great thing going with his river edge venue and hotel. We are so stoked to be apart of these events. We played a tight 75 minute set plus one encore to a packed crowd, then the Parottheads took the stage and keeped the party going into the early sunset. Lon Martin of 98.3 "The Key" announced Clover Island's July 11th concert with "Colorblind" opening up for Brain Howe and Bad Company and the crowd roared. We are looking forward to that as you can imagine. We are off a few weeks unitl we start hitting it hard again at The Pub on June 6th.May 4th, 2009: Catching up a bit here. Just posted a few photos from the PUB back in early April. Let's see, we played a few weeks back for the WA State Optometric Convention. That was actually a fun party. We hope all had a good time. Up next is the first outdoor concert of the season at Jack-sons in Richland on Sat night May 23rd. Let's hope the damn weather will final warm up.April 6th, 2009: The party last Sat night at the PUB was over the top. What a great crowd and so much fun. We had a guest bass player Paul, join us for a few songs and his family and friends got to see him play. Looks like we made some new fans that night. Thanks goes to our bass player John Hasson for letting Paul take the stage. Also the guys from Plastic Soul got up a played a song and the dance floor disappeared!!! Those guys are real good musicains, let me tell you. The lead singer is quite high on himself, but I guess all of us musicians are that way sometimes.....right? Actually, Colorblind will be playing with Plastic Soul this summer at one of the big outdoor street dances in June. We look forward to that performance for sure. Up next we are doing a large private event at the Three Rivers Convention Center in late April, but our next public appearence will at Jack-sons in Richland outdoors for the annual Memorial Street Dance on May 23rd.March 21st, 2009: Spring is here.

Cool thing is we will be staged in the east end zone!!!March 1st, 2009: We performed last night at the Annual Buddy Club Prom. I must say that was one of the best shows we have done in sometime.

We hope to be apart of this great event next year. Up next we are doing a private BDay party in Portland then our next live performance will be for the Tri-Cities Fever open opener on March 27th.Feb 15th, 2009: Good party last night at Jack-sons.

My goodness The PUB was Packed to the rim and the costumes were better than ever. Thanks to the best staff any where in town. Those gals kept up all night, Mark Allen with 106.5 The Eagle and everyone that came out for the fun. That was a blast. We are back at The PUB in a few weeks for a Pre-Thanksgiving Party on Sat Nov 22nd. It should be a great tune up for a stretch of great music appearing at The PUB through the end of the year.Oct 27th, 2008: Recovering from the two gigs down in Hermiston, OR. We had a great time both nights and met some really cool people. That's one benefit of playing out of town, making new friends. We hope to get back down there next year to play again. Thanks Debbie, Larry and the awesome crew at Nookies. You guys spoiled us!!! Keep in touch and we'll be back soon for sure. Also, thanks to Christy with the Relay for Life crew for the Halloween Party. We had a great time an really enjoyed playing at The Pheasant. We also hope we can get back down there for a regular weekend bar gig. Up next is our big Halloween Bash on Fri, Oct 31st at The PUB. his should be a huge party and we can't wait. You better come all dressed up for Halloween. It will be fun!!!Oct 21st, 2008: one month later.....We are gearing up this weekend for a two night stand in Hermiston. Two gigs....two nights...two different locations. Fri, Oct 24th we are at Nookies Bar for a good time at a new place. Don't know much about the place, so we are hoping for the best. If your looking for sometime to do and want to take the short trip down to Herimston, come join us. We'll rock the place and they'll want us back...:) On Sat, Oct 25th we are across the street at The Pheasant Bar. This is a Relay for Life fundraser and everyone is invited. The event is sponsored by the good folks at WGI down at the Army Depot. We performed last year for these guys and it was one hell of a party. Come down and party with us this year, but be prepared for a small donation to the cause and be sure to be dressed up in you Halloween garb. This will be another party to remember!!!Sep 21st, 2008: Well, some updated information finally. I have been real slow in getting my old butt of the couch after so many great gigs the past few weeks. We had a blast at the Pablo Cruise concert for the finale at Clover Island. Thanks to Mark Blotz and the guys in Pablo Cruise. That was a memory will have forever. Two gigs the next day at the Fiery Food Fest and the The PUB rounded out the big weekend. The FFF in Pasco was a early performance allowing us to keep our commitments at The PUB and we managed to pull it off just fine. We really had a good time with the early crowd at FFF and played non-stop for 2 hours. I could tell they didn't want us to leave, but the PUB was a callin' and we actaully pull a few people from the FFF later that evening. Another big night at The PUB and so many new faces. We had a blast at the final show. Then.......a short week off and back at it over in Richland at the "Sausage Fest". All I can say is two nights of Beer, Dancing, Food, and of course Rock and Roll. I'm going to say it right now....Holy S@%^!!!!, what a party. Both nights full to capacity and more trying to get through the doors to the gym Beer Garden. One final thanks to Peggy Cross for booking us. We really had a great time.We extend our thanks to all of our fans and newlt found fans....you make the party!!!Aug 28th, 2008: Kinda late with the captains log.....All I gotta say thanks to all that came out to The Island Casino to help celebrate my 50th Birthday. That was a great party and it meant a lot to me to see so many of you. That was one hell of a party and I'll remember it forever. Again thanks to my buds in Colorblind and Nasty Jack for playing and making tht party as fun as it could be. You guys are the best. My brother and his wife flew in for the party from Arkansas and that made it all the better to see them. That was awesome. He turns 50 next year and maybe Colorblind will get a chance for a long road trip to play his party.....who ever pays for that trip better start saving starting tomorrow..:) Up next Colorblind will be opening for Pablo Cruise...more details to follow.Aug 17th, 2008: A very busy weekend has past. We were asked to help raise money for Rosia who past away on Aug 5th. We performed for a couple of hours Friday night. Thanks to everyone who attended and donated to the family. We will miss you dearly Rosia. Sat night we kicked off The Kingsmen concert with a brief 60 minute set and warmed up the already baking fans. It must have been 100 degrees when we played!!! That was a blast...thanks to Mark Blotz and the crew at Clover Island, and to the Kingsmen for being such down to earth guys. I think all had a great time. Up next Colorblind will be hosting the Drummers 50th Birthday Bash on Sat Aug 23rd at 9pm.. This is going to be a hell of a party and everyone is invited. More to following...Aug 10th, 2008: Getting geared up to open up the show for the Kingsmen on Sat, Aug 16th at Clover Island in Kennewick. Gates open at 6pm. Just a brief closing note....the fundraiser for the Hispanic Chamber and Fiesta Foods on Aug 7th was a blast!!! thanks to Gracey and her crew for organizing a great event. I heard they raised alot of money. Thanks to Victor Cruz from Canon De Sol for hosting the event at his beautiful winey.Aug 3rd, 2008: Wow, what a fun party down in MF, Oregon last night. We played Dave Warner's 20 year high school reunion and had a ball meeting all his classmates and talking about the ole' High School year's. We hope everyone had a good time and hope we made some new friends and fans with that performance. The band sounded real good last night from where I was sitting high up on the drum riser. A beautiful evening and the smell of livestock and skunks in the air kinda summed it up...well we were in Milton Freewater...:) Up next we are playing a small fundraiser for the Hispanic Chamber and Fiesta Foods on Aug 7th then we are gearing up to perform with the "Kingsmen" out on Clover Island Aug 16th, so we are keeping busy and most of all having fun.July 27th, 2008: Another Boat Race Weekend has come and gone. Colorblind played both Friday and Saturday night parties again this year at the PUB and outdoors at Jack-sons in Richland. Crazy people were out in force both nights. The PUB was packed and of course Sat night at Jack-sons was over the top. Thanks to all that came out and we hope to do it again next year. Up next we are going to celebrate a little high school reunion for our lead singer Dave Warner. This event is private down in Milton Freewater and sure to be a blast. See you again soon.July 6th, 2008: Colorblind had a great time on July 4th. That was so much fun playing to all the people down at the park. We had a nice crowd of younger kids and their parents huddled around the stage, dancing and have a great time. As I looked out beyond the bleachers I could see thousands of people just relaxing and listening to the music through the park. The fireworks were loud, close and in your face. Thanks to Roland Thompson, Concert Productions and all the good people that made the music events a success. We hope to do that again next year!!!July 1st, 2008: Colorblind is gearing up for a cool show on July 4th. The band will be the closing headliner of an all day lineup of music and entertainment at the BIG Kennewick "River of Fire" 4th of July Fireworks Show!!!! That's a mouthful. We take the stage at 8:30 pm and play right up to the first skyrocket leaves the ground. This year's festival is going to be the closest ever from the band stage to the actually lift off point for the fireworks... I talking about @1000 feet way!!! That's right, so get to the park early and put your butt right in front of the temporary stage that will be erected next to the Playground of Dreams. Again, Colorblind performs from 8:30pm to lift off...!!! This is going to be the best fireworks show ever!!!!June 22nd, 2008: Dave is back!!!! Colorblind had a two great parties this past weekend. Friday night at Jack-sons in Richland for the big Cool Desert Nights street dance and Saturday night at the fairgrounds in Kennewick for the KHS All Class Reunion. Both nights were packed with fans, friends and so many new faces. We lucked out with the weather on Friday night and Sat night we were indoors bldg #2 at the fairgrounds so both nights were perfect. With so many things going on this past weekend it's amazing we had the crowds we did both nights. The KHS All Class Reunion was over the top. That has to be the best time we have every had performing to a crowd. Everyone was into the party and the dance floor was packed with hundreds of bodies all night..No shit...ALL NIGHT! Thanks to my new friend Lee Ford for hiring us to perform and everyone involved in making that night one of my most memorable..did I mentioned Dave is back!!!!! Up next for Colorblind is a fundraiser we are going to join in on for my friend Duncan Pryce. Duncan has had some recent health issues and we are going to help raise some money for his medical bills. Duncan is a popular musician here in the Tri-Cities and I think all of us musicians in town have shared the stage once or twice with Duncan over the years. We are going to perform a 45 minute set on Sun, June 29th at the Island Casino in Kennewick. The music lineup includes 10 local bands and the music gets started around 12:00 noon. Colorblind takes the stage somewhere around 3 pm in the afternoon. This is a no cover event and donations will be accepted for the cause. Hope to see some of our fans show up Sunday afternoon to support this...and......July 4th, Colorblind will be rocking as we perform the pre-firework show in Columbia Park..More details to follow....June 8th, 2008: Colorblind had a great time last night at The PUB. Packed as always and tons of fun for all. Big story is Dave, our front man was 99% of his old self, which pleased us all. We are so happy he is back and doing what he does.....Da man is da party!!! One issue that I need to get off my chest is the fact that The PUB has started a new policy for bands not allowing us to have one invited guest per band member. We, Colorblind have always had a guest list that basically contains a list of our wives or girlfriends...one per band member and they would not have to pay cover. Well unannouced to us, this policy is now in effect at The PUB and it was an issue last night. If your wondering why there are no pictures to enjoy from that party last night...thank the management, they were mandating that Colorblind's band photography, my wife Libby pay cover. She refused, walked out and didn't come back. Looks like I got some issues to work out with management over there. Again...sorry for not having the Colorblind trademark photos from last night. Putting the PUB behind us..... we a few weeks off until a busy weekend on June 20th and 21st. Two big performances in-town. The Friday night street dance at Jack-sons in Richland will kick it off. We'll have the great rocking blues band from Seattle, Roger Enders performing those alternating sets with Colorblind...music will be non-stop and the party will be redlining all night. On Sat, June 21st Colorblind will be the headliner at the big KHS All Class Reunion. This event is being held out at the Fairgrounds in Kennewick and should be attended by thousands!!!June 1st, 2008: Colorblind and Nasty Jack had a great time last night out at Jack-sons in Richland. The weather held out..the wind calmed down and we had a very comfortable evening. Great crowd later after the game was over and as always thanks goes out to Chuck and his crew at Jack-sons for another great party. Colorblind would play outside their over any venue in town. Again, we had a blast, Nasty Jack rocked and all is well....Colorblind is back at The PUB next Sat night, June 7th. Dave should be in full form by Sat as his recovery from surgery has progressed well. Oh I almost forgot....Check-out the new photos of my new drumset. ..:)May 26th, 2008: Colorblind did the opening act yesterday for the Jimmy Buffet tribute band. What a great crowd and a beautiful day it turned out to be. Dave, our lead singer was a trooper performing 15 songs just 1-1/2 weeks from having major disc surgery. We played a "tame" set of music to help Dave get through that 1 hour performance and he did wonderful. Thanks to all that were there during our opening set and all who made the time following the set to say how much they enjoyed our song selections. Thank also to Mark Blotz and company from Clover Island for having us open up the show. Up next we'll be at Jack-sons in Richland on Sat May 31st. We'll be performing with the local band "Nasty Jack". This will help Dave as he get's stronger and recovers remarkably. See ya out this next weekend. It should be a great show!!!!!May 23th, 2008: Some of the Colorblind band members went out tonight to catch the IV show at the new Island Casino music club. I must say that is a first rate setup. They have a nice built in stage, house PA system and a incredible light show. All this is available to the bands and it is run by two employeed technicans. Unfortuntly, Colorblind's schedule has made it difficult for us to be there this year, but we'll make in there sooner or later. Oh, I forget to mentioned, IV had a good crowd and they sounded really good. For a three piece band they cover alot of music. Good job fellows......May 5th, 2008: Colorblind is going to be laying low most of this month as our lead singer undergo's some disc surgery. Please say a prayer for Dave that all goes well. We had to cancel the Island Casino gig due to this issue, but those of you who know Dave, he has been in tremedous pain the last month and this is the only thing that will fix that. We are going to keep our fingers crossed for a full recovery so he can do the Clover Island gig on Sun May 25th. This show on Sun will only be a 1 hour performance and if his recovery goes well, we're going to make that one. Again, let's keep Dave in our prayers for a speedy recovery.April 14th, 2008: Colorblind played at Uncle Sam's Saloon on Sat night, April 12th. It was a fun crowd of our faithful followers...and we appreciate you guys showing up. Also noted were some new faces. We are not booked back at Sam's this year, so we hope the new faces we saw will follow us to the next show. Speaking of the next show, we'll be at The PUB in a few weeks on Sat, April 26th. This will be our first show with the new band setup area and we LOVE the PUB. We are looking forward to this new area and you can bet this show will be great. Pass the word...see you in a few weeks!!!April 10th, 2008: Lots going on this weekend. Colorblind will be at Uncle Sam's Saloon on Sat night, April 12th.

The line-up includes Garrett Wilkin & The Parrotheads ! A tribute to Jimmy Buffet, The Kingsmen, and Pablo Cruise!!! Stay tune Tri-Cities for the big summer of fun..March 16th, 2008: Great time last night. We certainly started off the St. Patty's celebration with a hell of a party. Thanks to all that came out and all the new faces. The band sounded good and the dance floor was packed all night. What more can you ask for? Thanks to the staff at Jack-sons for taking such good care of the big crowd and us too...Up next we are at Uncle Sam's Saloon on Sat April, 12th. We are excited about this one and looking forward to showing the owner's how "Colorblind" likes to rock the party...March 2nd, 2008: The Leap Year Party at Jack-sons in Richland was a huge success. We had a great crowd and again made a ton of new friends and fans. Congrats to all the BDay celebrations that night (5) and all the winners..I recall Brenda came away with one of everything!!! Thanks to all that came out. Will do it again in 4 years....Feburary 18rd, 2008: Leap Year only comes around every 4 years and for those less fortunate to actaully have a Feb 29th BDay, it's been a long 4 years since your last one!!!

You gotta smile when the music is tight and everyone is playing at their best. Our new lights worked out great and Jerermy spend all night setting up the scenes. What a difference they made. The crowd was having a great time and danced hard all night. The snow was coming down and those that braved the crappy weather seemed to enjoy the show. Dave Chongo was on fire and keep the crowd in at like never before...Feburary 2nd, 2008: Tonight we are at Jack-sons in Richland. Music starts at 9:00pm.

Up next Colorblind will be at Jack-sons in Richland for the annual Pre-Superbowl Saturday Night Party on Feb 2nd. You can bet this will be the best ticket in-town... and we all know Jack-sons can host a party. Make plans to come out and party with the Tri-Cities favorite rock band..Colorblind!!!!January 1st, 2008: Well another year has come and gone. We wish everyone a Happy New Year.

I'll try my best to get all 3 past gigs posted this week. We have two more private parties this month, then New Years Eve at the PUB.November 16th, 2007: Colorblind is already starting to book for next year. Checkout our Calendar of Events and you can see we have many dates through the end of November 2008 already booked!! We have kept a few dates open for this or that.November 11th, 2007: Thanks to Chuck Fisher and the great staff at Jack-sons for yet another fun evening . There is a reason why COlorblind calls Jack-sons in Richland our home base. We had a blast last night and extend our thanks to all our friends and the new fans we pickup on the way. We will be back at Jack-sons in Richland for the annual Sat night Superbowl party in Feb 08. Were looking forward to another great party. Up next Colorblind is gearing all our energy for a month long string of private corporate parties during Dec. We will be playing at The PUB on Dec 1st and finishing off the year back at The Pub on New Years Eve. Both dates at The PUB are open to the public!!October 31th, 2007: What a great weekend we had with the two Halloween parties. The PUB gig was sure different from last year. A great big crowd and we dressed up like rock stars...lot's of fun. Thanks to all that came out and there was some good costumes. Colorblind had a blast the night before down in Hermiston at the Scare Away Cancer Halloween Event sponsered by WGI. God that was fun. You guys down there really know how to have a good time and I don't ever recall a ELK's lodge room ever sounded better. Hope to hookup with Cindy down there for another event soon.September 13th, 2007: Better late than never. What a great time Colorblind had this past weekend. We opened for HeadEast on Friday night and had a blast with the crowd and the band. What a great group of musicians those guys were. Down to earth and all around good people. Not much good things to say about the production company other than they sucked, but we kinda had a feeling watching them work that afternoon. Anyway, glad we had another chance to open up for a big band of the 70's. Both bands rocked!!! THanks to all that came out to support Colorblind.August 13th, 2007: Nice party on Saturday at Jack-sons. Saw some new faces and old..Not to say the old faces were old by no means..:) Thanks as always to the great ownership and staff at Jack-sons. We always enjoy a party there. We'll be back there later this fall. We are off until Sept 7th when we open up for "Headeast". It should be a great show and we look forward to seeing all our friends at this one.August 6th, 2007: Man...I am late getting the website up to date. Well we survived the big Boat Race weekend. That is the first time we played both nights. You can image how tired we were come Sunday. I don't think a one of us even went to the races on Sunday:) We seemed to have picked the right venues both nights and I'm proud to say we had huge turn outs, both nights. The Pub on Friday was alive with locals and vistors. It was packed all night and hot as hell in the room. Not sure the final head count, but it was elbow to elbow most of the night. On Saturday we moved the party over to Jack-sons in Richland for a double billed show outdoors in the warm summer night. My other band, Nasty JAck started the show while it was still daylight. By the time Colorblind hit the first note we had another party on our hands. I do believe we hit it just right with taking the party outdoors on Sat night. Thanks to all that came out and all the out of towners that partied all night with us. See you guys next year!!!!July 25th, 2007: Big weekend up in Soap Lake. Colorblind was playing all hours of the day. Twice in the park and a late night short set with our friends "Roger Enders and the Road to Ruin" at the Business Men's Club in Soap Lake. What a blast we had and hope to be back there next year. Thanks Brett for having us and putting on the rally. BOAT RACE's are coming up this weekend!! Colorblind will be busy provding the music at two of the best venue's in town during Boat Race weekend. Fri night, July 27th at the PUB in Kennewick, music starts at 9pm.

More details to follow shortly...June 25th, 2007: It's about time I updated this log. Sorry for the delay, but you understand it's been a marathon last two weeks for the band. I just want to say that Colorblind had a blast the past two weeks including a outdoor performance at the Schools United Family Festival at Columbia Park on Saturday June 16th, one heck of another awesome party at Jack-sons with our friends from Seatte, "Rogers Enders and the Road to Ruin on Friday, June 22nd for a huge Cool Desert Nights Street Dance, followed by an opening performance with the "New Cars", fronted by Todd Rundgren on Saturday June 23rd in Walla Walla, Washington then a final a hop, skip and a short haul back to the Tri-Cities for the darn best privite party we have ever played. Thanks to all that were involved including, Bob Mangione, organizer for the SUFF, Chuck Fisher and his wonderful crew at Jack-sons in Richland, Deni Herman and the Clear Channel gang over in Walla Walla and to Phil and Kim Davidson for one heck of a party along the Yakima River. I'm not sure we could do this much each weekend, but it was sure fun while it lasted. We are off on personal vacations for a good three weeks, but will resurface for a fun filled weekend up in Soap Lake, Washington with our friends at the annual "Lava Love Run To The Sun" Motorcycle Rally. Colorblind will perform on Saturday night, July 21st in the town park. Music time is still undetermined, but it will be a nightime park performance. Keep checking back on the website as I will be attempting to post photos and video from the past two weeks for all to enjoy.June 10th, 2007: WOW...That was a hell of party last night at Jack-sons in Kennewick. We were slated to play outdoors, but the weather was crap. No worries, the inside venue there at Jack-sons is great and the place was wall to wall all night. Thanks to Ken, Suzy and the entire crew at Jack-sons in Kennewick for another great job hosting the party. That crew at Jack-sons is "second to none". Also, I would like to say a special thanks to Ken for the nice stage light install. That really makes a difference and our sound guy Jeremy said he had to work more last night running the light show. Nice touch. We'll be back at Jack-sons in Kennewick later this summer. Hope to take it out on the patio then. NEWS Flash...Colorblind has a really busy next few weeks including two charity events. First on Sat JUne 16th we will be closing the Schools United Family Festival at the Kennewick Columbia park amplitheater. This is an afternoon event that will be raising funds for area school PTO's. Colorblind will perform at 7:30 for an evening of fun family rock and roll sure to please dad, mom, and the kids. The following weekend is shaping up to be probably more than we can chew. I'll post more details next week, but we are talking Friday night, June 22nd outdoors at Jack-sons in Richland, Sat afternoon, June 23rd with the New Cars in Walla Walla and a private party later that night back in town.May 28th, 2007: Colorblind had another great time outdoors at Jack-sons in Richland this past weekend. The weather was warm and the crowd was huge...I personally counted around 600 people.:) Anyway, another successful Memorial Weekend Street Dance. A great way to kick off the summer outdoor live music scene!! Colorblind will be next at the Jack-sons over in Kennewick on Sat June 9th. We are hoping for good weather to "bring it out on the patio". One last thing to bring up, John Hasson, Colorblind's bass player, wanted to make note that the meter counter on the website has surpassed the 10K mark!! Thanks to everyone for supporting the band and visiting the website. I have been told by Dave Warner, Colorblind's lead singer, that Colorblind shoud obtain a "myspace website" in conjunction with this website. I support Dave getting that started and I will continue to keep the Colorblind website intact as well...Later.May 19th, 2007: Colorblind has landed a huge gig in Walla Walla. We will be playing at the Walla Walla Relay for Life on June 23rd at 3:30 pm. We are part of a 4 band concert that builds to the main act of the night.."Todd Rundgren and the New Cars". If you haven't followed the New Cars, Todd Rundgren got two of the original band members from the Cars and brought in his favorite bass player and drummer. They are touring all over the US right now promoting there new CD, and from what I have heard it is great. Alot of Cars tunes and some new stuff. This should be fun for me personally being such a huge Todd Rundgren fan. We are the second band of the 4 band entertainment bill. We play from 3:30 - 4:30 in the afternoon and will be tailing out of there back to Benton City for a outdoor private party on the Yakima River later that night!!! More details to follow about the Walla Walla show..Keep checking back often.May 13th, 2007: Photos are now posted from the party last weekend at Jack-sons in Kennewick. Sorry for the week delay, but lot's going on. Again that was a great weekend an we all had fun.May 7th, 2007: Colorblind had one hell of a time this past weekend at Jack-sons in Kennewick. Well played both Friday and Sat night, a first for us and it turned out great. Firday was a little slow, but on Sat it was packed and.... what a party. I would like to thank Suzy and her great staff for taking care of us and all our friends. We like playing there and the acoustics in that room are wonderful. We had a warm, rich, full sound thanks in part to the room and of course our soundman Jeremy! We are off a few weeks and take to the stage at Jack-sons in Richland on Sat May 26th. That is officially Memorial Weekend, so we are hoping for nice warm weather so we can play in the parking outside. See you then..April 22nd, 2007: Colorblind plays next at Jack-sons in Kennewick for a two night show on May 4th and 5th. We haven't been back there since late last year and we are so looking forward to it. Great ownership and wait staff!! See you..April 10th, 2007: Colorblind is sad to announce the cancelation of the Fever Football Pregame Show. Due to circumstances with the AF2 rules we do not have enough time to take the field and perform during the pre-game. Sorry for the bad news. However, our very own Mike Torres will still be singing the National Anthem. Please make plans to attend the BIG after game party at Jack-sons in Richland following the game on Sat, April 14th. Colorblind will be hosting a NO COVER event so please join us.April 1st, 2007: Colorblind is getting ready for the Fever opening game April 14th followed later in the evening by the big party at Jack-sons in Richland. More details to follow....March 31st, 2007: Went out tonight to check out the old band Mudshark at Kimos. They had a big crowd and the place was buzzing. I counted 6 band members. I didn't make it through the first set. Ended up over at Jacksons in Kennewick to catch the band Vicky and The Velvets. The place was dead, which is too bad, because the band was really good. Good vocals and good musicians = good band. Which brings me to the reason I'm logging this today. There is a buzz with two of Colorblind's band members as they are taking on a second music project. Over two months ago, John Hasson and I, Buddy had an opportunity to join up with two local guitar players for some basement jamming. We cranked out tunes that we knew between us and had a great time. Since that first jam session, we have continued to play weekly and the band Nasty Jack was formed. Now don't be alarmed, John and Buddy have no intention of leaving Colorblind. With the support of the Colorblind band members, John and Buddy are simply fulfilling a passion to play more often that Colorblind is able to perform, which is ok!!! So, I'm not going to use the Colorblind website to promote Nasty Jack anymore than this. www.nastyjackrocks.comMarch 19th, 2007: Man what a party on Sat night at THE PUB!! Colorblind would like to thank Tim, Steve and all the outstanding wait/bar staff at THE PUB. You guys worked your butt off and it showed. The crowds were record numbers and the fun started early...If you missed it, well you missed one of the biggest parties we have been a part off. We need a month off to recover..and that's what we going to take. We'll see you again at the Fever Football opening night, April 14th at the Toyota Center in Kennewick. More details to follow. Last thing I wanted to say is we have posted several video performances on the website and expect to continue such as we perform this year. Keep a look out!!!
