Absolute Blue Invitation 9/12/14 - 9/14/14

Absolute Blue Ruminations

The recent Brevard Live Music Awards and its related revelry have caused us to reflect upon our origins, the glorious past and tentative future. When Absolute Blue was formed over 20 years ago, it was done with a single clear and meaningful purpose. Course no one remembers what the hell it was, but we have put together the following from the Absolute Blue archives, which aren’t so bad once you get used to the smell. Like archeologists sifting through the sands of an ancient and unexplained civilization, so are the rusted bottle caps and long expired 7-11 burrito wrappers of The Worst Band You’ll Ever Love. Among the pieces we’ve put together (edited to remove the references to events in which the statute of limitations may still be in affect):

-During a rigorous deep tissue massage in 1993, two words came to Tom. No, not those. It was Absolute and Blue. Putting them together formed the name that would only be marginally more palatable then Hot Gossip. No happy ending here.

-The Horn Dogs stumbled into the band one night in 1998, mistaking the stage for a nearby IHOP, and to this day are still waiting on their Belgian Waffles.

-Bill was forced to join the band in a desperate attempt to fulfill his Community Service obligations, as even then they were a 501(C) charity, for a number of reasons.

-Few people realize it but Skip was actually won in a late night Texas Holdem tournament where he unwisely doubled down on a pair of double D’s. The pot was to be split 3 ways, but lacking the energy to dismember, the other winners were bought out with an industrial strength fart machine and several hundred back issues of Hustler.

That’s as far as we got before becoming uncomfortably aware of both our inadequacies and the fact that we had run out of beer…

Join us for a Friday night at the Tiki Bar in Sebastian from 7 to 11. The Tiki is conveniently located on Indian River Blvd, just south of Main Street…

Then Saturday it’s a rare afternoon performance from 12 to 4 at Space Coast Harley at Palm Bay Road and 95 where you can take advantage of free beer (while supplies last). Yes, I said free beer…
