I did not post this earlier due to the fact that I really have had no dealings with this band (except in passing) and did not want to create bad publicity for someone that I might be wrong about. But after seeing the response from others I believe it is time to give my .02 cents. I'm not quite sure what has happened to this band. I have seen you guys about 5 times around the New Braunfels/Austin area (I wish I would have seen the show in Mc Queeney...Sounds like ALOT happened) but I will tell you that I believe your band has gone as far as it needs to. You started out as a band with high energy and alot of good music. You have now reached a point where you believe you are good enough to stand on stage and your presence should be enough to make people happy, no matter what you do. Let me tell you, every show I have been to has gotten a little worse. The Attitude of the band, quality of Music and overall performance has sunk to an all time LOW. I have no idea what went on with your show in Mc Queeny but from my observations at other places I figured it was just a matter of time before you hit the downward spiral, and it seems like you are well on your way to Rock Bottom. You might want to think back to when you first started a band, do you remember why you did it? I'm sure the goal was not to be a hated band who pisses off the people who pay to come and see you. Your "Original" music has become predictable and monotone with no excitement. Your Cover songs have become more frequent and seem to have no emotion (I know they are cover songs but even "Cover Bands" can make someone else's music sound better and more energetic with a little effort and energy). Basically you are not the "Rock Stars" you think you are. Just because you have a "Record Deal" (with your own record label, Imagine that) does not make you a Star. It only makes you a self-promoted, low level band who will soon vanish into the world of an accounting day job and a 1 man band, playing at the local country store on Wednesday nights for a couple of beers, unless you Stop, Kick yourself in the ASS and remember what REAL Texas Music is all about. Unfortunately I do not see this happening for you. I believe you attitude has reached a level of no return and the only way for you to return to Earth is for all people who read this to Stop supporting your Music. Back Porch Marry has left the Building.......And you should lock the doors so they don't return........

I was also at the back porch mary circus in Lake McQueeney, Texas. They started late, played lots of cover music and finished early. as for the un-educated redneck club that hired them, well you seem to be the one that is un-educated on us. just because we choose the sport we choose you choose to use Derogatory comments about us. I was the one trying to negotiate with the band and was threatened by the lead singer with the gun comment. i think once you have the facts you can post your opinion, until then I will let you try and determine who is the un-educated redneck. I refuse to get into a heated discussion with an un-armed individual.

Vinny got to see BPM open for Chris Knightlast Friday at the Wormy Dog. Excellent show. These guys deserve to be headlining. One of the better bands to come around in a long time. Looking forward to their next visit.

I have seen BPM many times in the past at various Texas venues. I cannot wait until they are in the Dallas area. I was at the show in Lake McQueeney. It was a great bar. Other than the really hot and humid weather and the uneducated redneck 4x4 club that hired BPM, I thought that it was a really great venue. The band was excellent playing everything from Honest Hands to cuts from their new album Time of the Broken Heart. I loved to hear the limited covers that the band performed. Songs like "I'm So Lonesome I could Cry" and "City of New Orleans" can really only have justice done by Hank and Steve. BPM pays tribute to these masters. The comment about hearing 90% of the songs as cover just goes to show that songs that they like on the radio are being sung by the group in front of them. If you want to hear songs by more established artists, either pay for a tribute band or hire a DJ. Just because you hired a band to play a show, does not mean that they become your puppets. To top the evening off, the Hee-haw fan club threatened violence to the band and barred the exit so that the band could not leave. Comments like "going to the truck to get the guns" even prompted the sheriff's department to show up. That just goes to show you that more alcohol than teeth is never a good thing. Kudos to BPM for keeping a level head. Keep on rocking guys. I have been hearing you more and more in Dallas since the new album has hit. Special thanks to Mike, Joe, Slim and Ryan Kyle.

Thank you Capt. Obvious - that's why the names would be the same on the reviews. So - only positive reviews are allowed here? The other negative reviews that had other names were not written by me - I guarantee that. Trust me, there were a LOT of upset people at the show. I'm suprised there aren't more negative reviews here. And when did you become my grammer teacher anyway?
