Absolute Blue Invitation 9/05/14 - 9/06/14

Absolute Blue Patriotization

It could be the long holiday weekend. Or maybe the recent elections that remind us once again the participatory nature of American politics. Whatever the cause, we’ve taken time to reflect on just what it means to be a part of this fine country. I mean, there’s something for everyone, even the liberals. What we lack in history, culture and détente we more than make up for in fast food, reality tv and selfies. And while The Worst Band You’ll Ever Love has always been a band of true patriots, what does it mean to be a true American band? It’s more than just Don’s Early Light or Don’s Bursting In Air. It’s Absolute Blue: Band that you love, stand beside them and buy them, Beam and Sprite or bud light, which they love. And as Francis Scott Offkey once wrote:

This band is your band, this band is my band

From Grant-Valkaria, to South Merritt Island

From the redneck poorest, to the golfing lawyers

This band was made for you and me.

And who could forget:

Band that stands side by side

Where we have Bill preside

In everyway the dudes abide

Yet they say dumb things

So when you’re making your music decision this weekend, keep in mind the band that truly embraces the American spirit and all it stands for. Then come see us…

This Friday it’s back to Squid Lips in Melbourne from 7 to 11…

Then Saturday it’s the Pineda Inn, on US1 just north of Pineda causeway, again from 7 to 11…
