Welcome Nasty Mike…

Nasty Influenz just made a major addition that will make the band not only musically solid, but also, stepped up our market share. 

Mike recently decided he wanted to join the “Nasty Boys” and become our full time drummer.  Mike was gracious enough to fill in a few gig for us, once at City Hall Pub and another weekend at TNT in Middleburg.  After a solid weekend at TNT, Mike decided he wanted in. 

There is some “drama” surrounding Mike’s move, and honestly it’s not my place to talk about that.  Mike and Shawn are both former members of The Rock Show, another local band, and there are some hurt feelings, especially with Mike.  It’s business to me, and I don’t have the emotional attachment to that issue, but I will state that although we are ecstatic to have Mike with the band, it wasn’t our pursuit that made that happen.  It was Mike’s decision.

As a band, we’ve been in limbo searching for the right fit on drums and we are behind the curve with bookings as a result.  With Mike now in the fold, we can start marketing our usual repeat gigs as well as expand into new areas for our band. 

Nasty Influenz will transform as a result.  We are adding new material, updated material and just more material in general.  There may also be a ‘rebranding’ of the band itself, but that is not going to happen right away.  The goal for the band is to have a broad enough musical base to literally play anywhere.  That means, a solid dance set list, rock set list, general set list, acoustic set list, whatever.  Good rock and roll is good rock and roll, no matter what genre or era it is from and that’s the vision we have.

We look forward to seeing you all out and about town.
