MASSACRE MACHINE: BAND NEWS

HELL YEAH...With the help of our metal brethern in Thirty 2 Life , Sanguine , Sacrum , Shepherd of Souls , Valhalla and all the family, friends and fans present, we were able to raise $2,018 for MDA !!! While we were hoping to top last year, we are still proud to have had the help to achieve this since the Poison/Cinderella show was the same night and the big 93X Fest was the night before. We really APPRECIATE every cent donated. We also owe a BIG THANKS to our sponsors for donating goods or services...Panchos Mexican Restaurants (cheese dip & chips for nachos), Hyman Builder's Supply (tool boxes & belts), Red Barn Sports Center (fishing gear & shirts), All American Tattoos (ink), Bill Scudder of Crosstown Cookers (BBQ meat), Shelia Gordon (gourmet chocolate & show pics), Lady Di & Mom Wolf for the afghan & baked goods and of course, The Stage Stop for hosting the event. If we have overlooked anyone, you know you have our gratitude. Check out the new pics and you'll see why we're glad to help. We hope to see more of you at MDA MASSACRE III...THANKS !!!

Who would have thought that the quiet little town of Leachville, AR would be down with some Heavy Metal. Along with our boys in Thirty 2 Life , Hero 9 and Burnt we rocked The Melody Theatre !!! It was really cool to have the mayor hangin' out gettin' his metal on and the crowd was awesome. We have our set posted on the "Look & Listen" page for those of you that missed out or just want to re-live it. THANKS to EVERYBODY that came out and supported the show. We hope to make it back to see you soon !!! New show pics courtesy of Misty Adams .

Started out at The Stage Stop in Memphis partying & jamming with our friends in Burnt ,Sanguine ,Moses Crow ,Painbreak . Despite some technical difficulties with equipment and having to cut the set short...WE HAD A KILLER TIME, as always !!! We all got in some time around 4AM, caught a little sleep then headed out for The Dart Room in Fayetteville, AR to throw down with our buds in Bred For War & Razor Fate . Gotta give it up...The metal heads were out in full force and fortunately we got to redeem ourselves with a blistering set (no amp troubles) !!! So at 3AM, we had the pleasure of driving the 6 hours back to Memphis. We want to THANK everyone present at both of these shows be you a fan, band or just gettin' your drink on !!! Shannon...Thanks for hangin' out with us all weekend, we really appreciate having a fan like you !!!

Once again, we had the priveledge of rockin' DONNA'S ICE HOUSE in Linn Creek, MO. We really appreciate all the metal fans that came out to support the show !!! A huge thanks also to our boys in Verbal Narcotic for having us back. We've also gotta give a shout out to Thinline who were part of this evening of insanity. It was hot beyond belief and despite some technical difficulties with the PA (melted the damn cables), this was a show not to be soon forgotten. It was pretty dark but we captured our set if anyone wants to see a bunch of rowdy ass, hell raisin', metal lovin' hellions !!! We can't wait to come back and party with all of you again...MISSOURI IS METAL !!!

Shooter's Bar in Fort Smith, AR had the Metal Faith defended last night !!! Our boys in "Bluntforce" got things kicked into high gear with a slammin' set of brew-tality. Then your own "MASSACRE MACHINE" had to force up and do a 3 man set once again with Brice pullin' vocals & drums. Hopefully, we'll be back in full form from now on with Gary back. WE STILL KICKED ASS !!! "Gravel Blaster" threw it down next and pulled off one brutal set. The mighty "Razor Fate" capped off the evening with some hellacious thrash crushing craniums of the MetalHeads present. We want to THANK everyone present and we had a fukkin' BLAST !!! Fort Smith has some really cool people and we're glad to have met many of you !!! Go check out the pics from this show.

Last night had to be one the best crowds we have EVER had the priveledge of playing to at "Donna's Ice House" in Linn Creek, MO. There were some intense MetalHeads doing some serious headbanging & THE PIT out front was insane !!! It was worth every bit of the 6 hours it took us to get there and we can't wait to get back and party with y'all again. Next time, we'll have Gary back behind the drums and Brice will be back out front & in yer faces !!! We really appreciate the reception we got from your local scene as well as getting to meet & hang out with some really cool people. "Black Buffalo" & "Verbal Narcotic" KICKED FUKKIN' ASS and we were impressed by the intensity our metal brethern threw down with !!! Great stuff all the way around...SEE YA SOON !!! New PICS posted from this show. If you wanna see even more of the mayhem from this show, visit Verbal Narcotic's picture page. www.verbalnarcotic.com/2006shows.htm

DAMN...It was a KICK ASS evening at the New Daisy on Beale last night, even though the sound was like a Mack truck hitting a concrete wall (and NOT in a good way). The sound man was CLUELESS but we think the performance speaks for itself !!! We want to thank everyone present and we really appreciate all the positive comments a bunch of you gave us after our set. Until the next show...ROCK ON !!!

We don't know about y'all (unless you were hangin' with us), but we got to THROW DOWN Friday & Saturday nights !!! The Stage Stop on Friday got to witness the return of Gary on drums and Brice's return OUT FRONT and IN YER FACES !!! We got a chance to do it all again Saturday night at a DUNGEON PARTY hosted by "Dark Embrace" in Bono, AR. Great to see such a dedicated group of bands and Metal Heads out in FULL FORCE. We really appreciate all the comments & support from everyone...THANKS & SEE YA SOON !!!

Damn...We had a great time last night !!! Thanks to "Sanguine" & "Defyant" for asking us to be a part of the show. Everybody there was gettin' their metal on !!! Tipton county RULES !!! Till the next one, HORNS HIGH !!!

MASSACRE MACHINE can't wait to get back and play for y'all again. We really appreciate the response the crowd gave us and HELL YEAH for those IN THE PIT !!! Check out the fresh pics from the show. "Bluntforce" & "Onset of Winter" gave us great sets as well. The mighty "Vore" was in the house chillin' too. Shawn, Jason, Jay, Ricky and everyone else there that we haven't all got to know well yet...THANKS AGAIN and until next time...KEEP IT LIVE & LOUD !!!

IF YOU WEREN'T THERE, YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN...FOOLS !!!

Thanks to everyone who made it out to the show and supported local music, dressed up and had a great time. We sure as hell did and have some new pics posted to prove it !!! "Chained Angel" got the show kicked off and "Modif" had the crowd off their asses and down front. Now it was time for MM to deliver the goods...AND WE DID !!! "One May Fall" took over and layed down a killer set. The closing set of the evening was from "Detriment" and these guys just fukkin' hammered it. We gotta give them an extra shout out for coming out so late after having just played another show downtown earlier...and YES it did get knuckle draggin' RETARDED up in that MURFF...BE THERE NEXT YEAR!!!
