Saturday Matinee – Andreas Diehlmann Band, The BluesBones & The Zac Schulze Gang

Andreas Diehlmann Band is a German power trio who crank out Texas blues ala ZZ Top, with vocals to match. This video from 2018 features Diehlmann backed by Volker Zeller on bass and Tom Bonn on drums.

Formed in 2011, The BluesBones are an award winning blues rock band from Belgium, and are the only group to hit No. 1 on the Blues Charts UK three times.

Combine the intensity of Meatloaf with the mania of Chris Farley, give him a blazing guitar with a kickass backup band, and you got The Zac Schulze Gang – serious speed blues rock.

Tomorrow’s porchtime has been superceded by Easter, the holiest of Christian holy days. Have a blessed one.

Saturday Matinee – BALTHVS, KALEO, and Thorbjørn Risager & The Black Tornado

Formed in 2020, BALTHVS is a Colombian psychedelic funk surf latin jazz rock group consisting of Balthazar Aguirre / guitar; Johanna Mercuriana / bass; Santiago Lizcano /drums.

This blues rock indie band formed in 2012 in Reykjavik, Iceland, but KALEO means “the voice” in Hawaiian. After signing with Atlantic records, they relocated to Austin, Texas, in 2015. [More info on Wiki].

Since their beginnings as a Copenhagen bar band, Thorbjørn Risager & The Black Tornado have been dubbed Scandinavia’s premier roots-rock renegades. The septet has performed in Scandinavia, Europe, Canada, the US and Asia for over two decades.

A three day weekend is upon us, with Monday being Unnamed Day due to the recent discovery of Cesar Chavez’ past indiscretions. In celebration, a lot of people nationwide will be hitting the streets, to march around waving signs, chanting Hey Hey Ho Ho mantras and disrupting traffic, all because they’re worried about the US becoming a monarchy or some nonsense. Whatever happens won’t be enough to cancel valuable porch time, so we’ll see you tomorrow at the crack of noon.

Pyrite & Quartz

Cubic Pyrite with Quartz

Pyrite gets its name from the Greek word “pyr,” meaning “fire,” due to its ability to produce sparks when struck against metal or another hard material.
