Absolute Blue Announcement 6/06/13

This weekend we journey to North Carolina for a private party but make sure to get down to our next performance on June 14^th at Downtown Melbourne Friday Fest from 6 to 10…

And while this may not be the correct time and/or place, we would like to draw your attention to a more serious subject. We participated in a project in 2011 to recover the wreckage from my father’s cousin’s plane which was lost over the Himalayas, or The Hump, in 1942. He along with the pilot and communications officer were killed and it took renewed Sino/American relations, painstaking research, a bit of luck and a superhero by the name of Clayton Kuhles from www.MIARecoveries.org to take on the mission to recover the aircraft. For years he has funded these recovery missions himself, but with changing economic conditions he is now longer able to. He is anxious to return to his Asian visits, now armed with the locations of a number of wreckages, but can’t make the trips until funding is found. An Indigogo page (http://igg.me/at/FindTheMIAs) has been created to generate funds for his next mission and we ask that you please take a look and check it out. If you feel so moved to donate it will go to finding servicemen and finally bringing them home…

Absolute Blue's Solipsism
 
Before we continue we would like to clarify a few things. Contrary to public belief we at Absolute Blue do not condone not participate in the tomfoolery, monkeyshines, shenanigans, twaddle, chicanery, hypocrisy and/or highjinks that have been commonly associated with The Worst Band You’ll Ever Love. Sure, Don once super glued a senator’s butt cheeks together and Kevin made over 12,000 prank calls in 2012 alone, but these are isolated events which we hope to put behind us as soon as the statute of limitations has expired. So it's not just drinking beer, mild cursing and fart jokes when we're not playing. That's actually when we ARE playing. But seriously, there is another side to the band as well. We decided to make the most of our time off and use this break for peaceful introspection and rumination, as each member pursued their unique discipline:

Skip completed his multi part analysis of Sartre’s ‘Transcendence of the Ego’ and completed volume II of his response to the contradictory nature of the work, albeit in crayon.

Don continued his hobby of researching nineteenth century impressionists from Degas to Pissarro and completed his replica of Morisot’s Cradle composed entirely of Bud Light bottle caps.

Kevin began an intense examination of Italian Neorealism reviewing the works of De Sica and Visconti as well as staging a companion piece to Rosselini’s Paisan specifically for Muppets.

Bill took time to extend his knowledge of linguistics, focusing this time on the dead languages of Sanskrit and Sumerian, translating volumes of historical text beginning with Dr Dre.

And Tom had some warts removed.

We have prepared a very special weekend for you beginning Friday at Squid Lips from 7 to 11…

Then we move on down to Grant with a performance at The Old Fish House at Treasure Coast Marina from 6 to 10…

And we finish things up at Coconuts Sunday from 2 to 6…

Absolute Blue’s Marketization

As The Worst Band You’ll Ever Love embarks upon yet another ill-advised marketing campaign, tentatively titled ‘Another Desperate Attempt at Relevancy’, we have searched long and hard for a truly good idea to plagiarize. We had to be careful as our So Simple A Drummer Can Do It campaign got us served by Percussionists International and more recently we received a cease and desist order from Jake…from State Farm. We were leaning toward The Relentless Pursuit of Mediocrity after we decided we don’t really want to know what’s in your wallet and did in fact leave home without it. So we decided to go with something truly original:

They tell Aerosmith which way to walk.

Mick claims to move like Don.

Once got Journey to stop believin’.

Dylan actually knocked on Kevin’s door.

They fooled the Who again…and again.

Axl took them down to Paradise City.

At Creedence’s request they stopped the rain.

They are…the most interesting band in the world…

Join us for a most interesting weekend, beginning Friday from 7 to 11 at Cocoa Beach Pier…

Then Saturday night it’s a private party at Sebastian Beach Inn…

And Sunday we return to SBI for an afternoon performance from 2 to 6…
