The Red Devils were a house band from L.A. featuring front man Lester Butler. They had much success after their debut album King King (1992), but the stress of their U.S. and European tours took its toll, and Butler’s drug habit didn’t help. They split up in 1994; Butler died of an overdose four years later at the age of 38.

Smokin’ Joe Kubek & Bnois King played together for decades until Kubek passed away in 2015 at age 58. Both Kubek and King have impressive resumes filled with blues cred.

From Tupelo, Mississippi, siblings Ryan, Kyle and Taya Perry are The Homemade Jamz Blues Band. In 2007, the trio made music history as the youngest blues band to sign a record deal: Ryan was 16, Kyle 14 and Taya 9.

Got a busy day tomorrow. Big plans, y’know, big plans. I don’t know what they are yet, just that tomorrow’s gonna be busy. See you then.

Brown Acid

So I was looking for an illustration to go with a story about the Little League World Series for posting on another website, and started with Charlie Brown. The pic was kind of boring by itself, and I wondered what the AI Deep Dreams Generator might come up with. Lower right is the cumulative result. Trip city.

This blues rock indie band formed in 2012 in Reykjavik, Iceland, but KALEO means “the voice” in Hawaiian. three albums and ten years in they’re already touring the world.
