Banana Blender Surprise Album is 121,072 on Amazon

What sort of music do you guys play?

 

Barry Manilow covers. Actually, I'll probably download it from emusic.com.

 

I arrive in Houston at 11:30pm Friday....will you really be playing til 2am?

I'd be psyched to hear some Royal Crown and a Moon Pie!!!!!

 

My god, that album has 42 songs on 2 discs!

 

You can listen to some of their songs on their myspace page that he listed.

 

pre-Nirvana?? you mean, like...Whitesnake?? ROCK!!

 

Hmmmmm....I don't see any songs on that site?

Would love to hear some samples

 

Will you guys be playing anywhere in town around the holidays? One of the best New Year's Eve shows I have ever been to was Banana Blender Surprise.

I have seen you guys two other times that both great as well. Anyway, I will be in H-town for the holidays and would love to see a show, if you guys are going to have any lined up.

 

sweet sounds CBFC

come play downunder i'll see the show

 

I think I sat in with you guys a long time ago... I used to work for Z107.5 and we (Z-107.5 employees) formed a (very cheesy) classic rock cover band. I remember the guitar player showing me the riff to Keep on Rockin' Me by Steve Miller (which I was embarrased not to figure out myself) but felt better when he had to watch me play the riff to Bowie's Rebel, Rebel because he didn't know it.

Banana Blender is a lot of fun live. Do you still give out Moon Pies?

 

I remember BBS playing at many of my middle school and high school functions... good to see you all still playing 10-15 years later.

 

The player wasn't showing up on the site last night. It worked today. You guys sound great, especially those telecasters.

 

I was the lead guitar player. I had a red, pointy guitar at the time. We did a pretty heavy version of Comfortably Numb if I recall correctly. That night at Party on the Plaza.... I don't remeber it as being so awesome! I remember being worried (as the sound guys dried out power strips with blow dryers) that all my stuff was going to blow up! We played about half a set before they pulled the plug. We did get to play a few weeks later (in front of some Beatle's cover band).

I do remember Lauren Valle appreciation night. I think I broke a string on the (borrowed guitar) that I was using during Rebel, Rebel. Since the riff in that song is so crucial I grabbed BBS's guitar player's guitar to keep that riff up. He just gave me this weird look as I pulled his guitar from him in mid-song.... I do remember thinking that he looked so much cooler than I did on stage...

Last I heard Lauren and her husband, Catfish, moved to St. Louis. This was probably 10 years ago and I have no idea where she is. Eric moved to Austin and I suppose he's still there.

The drummer for that band was Steve Robison who did mornings on the Buzz for a long time and the other guitar player/keyboard player was Andrew Huang who works for the Astros.
