IT'S A BRAND NEW T SHIRT FOR 1996

[bennythejetsblog]

Where have I been last 2 months? well, this gets crazy.

On February 18, 2024, I got a message from @dingleberry-7708 saying, "Kingdom First is playing in Washington and Oregon." These two states are near me. I had the bright idea to drive 4 hours to see them and also drag two of my friends now bandmates, along with me, as well as get my decal Molotov cocktail record signed by both Chrises (more on this later)

I went to see the Portland show on March 2. It was a blast. The doors opened at 8, and we arrived around 8:30. We were in Once I paid for my ticket. I see Chris Stark just on his phone, sipping his drink. I approached him and asked, "By any chance, were you the drummer for the band Decal?", Exact words "holy shit, hahaha, yes." we got into good detail about the history and such it was great. Chris Stark was unbelievably cool, dude. He signed the record, and it was cool. Chris Carroll was absent from this show..... sadly ugh,

Talking to Matt Jervis, the guitarist for Clarke Nova. Matt was thrilled that I was a fan of the Clarke Nova. I asked questions about the band and such. It was great. He was cool as hell, also.

On the actual show, two bands played before K1. K1 went up, and I was in the second row in the crowd; there was so much energy from the band. Matt was so energetic for a frontman, and it was remarkable.

March 2, 2024, is gonna be remembered as an essential day in my life, I met a person I look up to and got to see K1. Thanks, Matt and Chris. You FUCKING ROCK!!!!

Listen to Kingdom first here The song being played is Look

Did you know? When Decal (G.U.S) was first formed, someone other than Steve play bass? His name is Scott Butler and that's all we know so far. This shocking info was found in one of the CDs I bought.

The second image, I believe, is him playing with Bob and pre-glasses Chris Stark. I'm 90% sure this is the earliest known picture of the band.

Today (5/3/23) is the 27th anniversary of Decal's album Molotov Cocktails and Other Mixed Drinks (the original 1996 CD release, that is)

HAPPY DECAL DAY!!!
