Collectors Choice Restaurant/ Disaster at Dreamfest, and the Menage radio show.

Dog Leg Preacher will be bringing their high powered rock show to Snohomish early this Saturday the 29th. DLP will be at the world famous Collectors Choice Restaurant in beautiful downtown Snohomish. The show is outdoors, and scheduled to go on from 5 to 9 PM. For those who haven't tasted the fair at Collectors be forewarned. There is a reason they are world famous. Nice people there as well.
The Disaster at Dream Fest. Well as many of you already know Dreamfest was canceled at the start of the second day. The reasons for this are numerous. This was essentially the very first entertainment fund raiser put on by Why Knot Me, and the learning curve was very vicious to say the least. However this is a good cause, and we are sure that they will not give up easy, so look for Dreamfest to be back and better next year.
The Menage radio show. This people are great, DLP would like to thank Julie and Jennifer for having them on. It was a great time with some fantastic and genuine people. The show is on every Saturday on KKNW 1150 am out of Seattle. Be sure to check these guys out.

Due to logistical problems the remainder of dream fest has been cancelled.

Dream Fest, Hemp Fest,Tom Pfaeffle's memorial, and the Menage Radio show.

Lets start out by saying how wonderful it was to have taken part in Tom Pfaeffle's memorial at the Moore Theater last night. The place was packed full of people that were touched by Tom during his Journey among us. Everyone had many opportunities to both share, and listen to many stories about Tom, and his life's work. There were several musical performances. Random Manor did a great job, KK and his Weathered Underground were literally a joy to watch onstage, and there was a special one song acoustic performance of Silent Lucidity performed by Queensryche that brought the house down. This was a fantastic celebration of one mans life.
Dog Leg Preacher will be performing at Dream Fest 09 August 21, 22, an 23. This is a benefit for Why Knot Me. Why Knot me is a charitable organization that specializes in providing help for abused and under privileged children. Their current reach is in King and Pierce county, but they are continually working to expand their outreach programs. This Event will be held at the King Kat Theater in Seattle. In addition to Dog Leg Preacher there is a long list of fantastic performers. Friday the 21st is Urban Evergreen, Untold Theory, The Purps, Dog Leg Preacher, and Sublime LBC. Saturday night the 22nd is T bagging Bandits, Mason James, Mephitis, Cold Note, Dog Leg Preacher, and Puro Bandido. Then on Sunday it will be Tacoma Urban Orchestra, Stephanie Johnston, Deborah Page, Dog Leg Preacher,Jay Mac Cadillac, Liza Brown (featuring Kashmir and Tony Oronzco), and Micheal Powers. This is a fantastic event, and it is for a very worthy cause, so please help in spreading the word. Advance tickets are available through Brown Paper Ticket.
Hempfest. Dog Leg Preacher will be performing at 3:00 Saturday August 15th on the McWilliams stage. We have been receiving numerous inquiries as to when and where DLP will be performing. The Mcwilliams Stage is close to the Southern entrance of Hempfest. This will be a short set, so it is better to get there early instead of late.
Saturday August 22nd in addition to Dream Fest Dog Leg Preacher will be the musical guest on The Menage radio show. The Menage is a Saturday show from 11:00 until 3:00p.m. on KKNW 1150AM. This radio show is

An intelligent, witty spotlight for comedy, music, pop-culture, topical issues around the Puget Sound and across the nation.

So if you can, tune in, call in (1-888-KKNW (5569), and be a part of what is going on!

Bubba's Road house/ Sultan police go wild after alcohol fueled assault

As always the show at Bubba's roadhouse was a blast. We would like to thank all of our great friends who showed up from as far away as Tacoma. We would also like to thank the great people from the CMA who showed up to see Dog Leg Preacher. Bubba's is always fun.
However the Sultan police were on high alert (and deservedly so) as it seems the previous night there was a fight in an unnamed establishment very close to Bubba's. Apparently one of the intoxicated combatants in his eagerness to escape an old fashioned beat down jumped behind the wheel of his vehicle and ran over a crowd of bystanders in the attempt. We have little information about the seriousness of the injuries sustained by the 6 or so people who were injured. We do know that some people had to be airlifted to the hospital, and that the clubs parking lot was jammed with ambulances. We could not believe that the club would be open for business following an event of this magnitude, but they were. The police were literally camped in their parking lot all night, and were pulling over almost every car they could. Needless to say, but these are the type of reckless actions by a few individuals that ruin things for all the responsible people out there. Also perhaps a properly trained and equipped bar staff with a bouncer could have better contained the violence prior to it spilling into the streets. FUNNY THING. THIS COMING SATURDAY DOG LEG PREACHER WILL BE PERFORMING AT HEMPFEST. In all my years as a working musician I have never seen the police or anyone else respond to a fight between people who were only smoking pot. We do not claim to have any answers, but it is an interesting observance.

Seattle Hempfest,Bubba's Road House, Tom Pfaeffle's memorial,Hippie Lettuce,and more.

Many things going on at once here in the Dog Leg Preacher camp. First off this coming Saturday August 8th DLP will be performing at Bubba's Road House in Sultan Wa. Bubba's has first rate food, and an excellent staff. Show kicks off at 9:00. But we recommended coming for dinner first. Bubba's is located at 924 SR 2 in Sultan.
Then Thursday night August 13th there will be a memorial for Tom Pfaeffle at the Moore theater in Seattle Wa. This event is slated to kick off around 5:00 p.m. and although there is no admission charge a $10 donation is recommended, and of course all donations will go to the Pfaeffle family. The schedule of event is still somewhat murky, but there will be an appearance by KK and his weathered Underground, as well as Random Manor, and I believe there will be an open mike session as well. We are also looking for any photos of Tom that people might have. Please send them to doglegpreacher@screamingskunk.com and we will make sure they end up in the right place.
Saturday August 15th, Dog Leg Preacher will be performing at Seattle Hemp fest, in Myrtle Edwards park. DLP will perform on the McWilliams stage. They are scheduled to go on at 3:00 p.m. this will be a short set so don't be late, and bring your Hippie Lettuce.
Currently both the new CD and DLP's rockumentary movie are in duplication. The new CD "Abscess" is due out August 12th, and the first movies started shipping today. This has been a lot of work already and we have only just began. Nathan our new web wizard is also preparing a newly remodeled website and store that should be up very soon. Things a turning now.
Lets hope that Barney Fife stays away from the next few shows. Barney is very dangerous when all fueled up on the fumes of burning Hippie Lettuce.

Put together a lot of press kits today. I am wiped out. We cannot make enough press kits or cd's right now.

I remember living in a free country. Cops gone wild.

Although it seems like a very long time ago indeed. This I suppose is brought on by having our last two shows harassed by the local police departments. The Friday night show was canceled entirely, and at the last minute, because someone figured out that the club did not have enough square feet of parking to support the potential occupancy of their outdoor beer garden. Ok got it, so the club looses, the band looses, the patrons loose, the town looses revenue. Now I completely understand the reasoning behind this. That brings us to Saturday night. DLP was performing at Stewart's place in Snohomish. They were told on three separate occasions to turn it down or the police were going to close the bar(by what right?). Ok maybe the first time they were a bit loud. The second time was sketchy, but by the third time the canned music from the wedding reception a half block away was much louder. Of course these are the same Barney Fife's that sprayed a crowd of people at Kla Ha Ya days with pepper spray. There only reason for this was that one officer was accidentally struck while trying to break up a cat fight(being hit by a 5'!" 100lbs girl). One club DLP works with recently received a ticket for over serving, the person that was allegedly over served was walking home from the club when stopped by the police for the standard harassment. When asked to blow the person blew a 0.09, 0.01 above the legal limit for driving a car. Is this over served??
I remember a day when you could actually ride your motorcycle around legally without a helmet, now in some places helmets are mandatory for bicycles. I remember when you could drive down the road and drink a beer. This was okay as long as you were not drunk. How about smoking, remember when you could smoke a cigarette in a bar. Now we have so many restrictions and regulations on our behavior. In reality the only purpose for these is to establish greater government controls over our private lives. What is the difference between compulsory insurance and racketeering ie protection money? As far as I can tell the only thing is that when you pay the gangsters for protection at least you get protection. In this state if you have a major insurance claim, odds are that you will have to sue your own insurance company for payment, and this takes years. As best I can tell about what the police call protection is that they will send someone out to wipe your blood up off of the street, and then go and look for who did it, maybe. Think about it, after all of these ridiculous regulations, are you any happier, do you feel safer. I BET YOU DO NOT. Maybe it is time to start thinking about less regulations and greater freedom and happiness. All the major crimes have always been illegal, lets stop making criminals out of normal citizens.

Dog Leg Preacher lighting up Stewarts place in Snohomish

This Saturday night July 25th Dog Leg Preacher will be bringing their own high powered rock show to the sleepy little town of Snohomish Wa. DLP is always eager to perform in Snohomish, as several members are from that area. So come on out and have some fun with DLP. But watch your p's and q's.

viciously attacked 100 or so bar patrons
