Bassist Samm Chong was able to get down from San Francisco recently for a Monster Soup jam session at the Six2Midnite studio in Eagle Rock, CA. We ran through a few old tunes that we'd been playing at the recent gigs at Fitz in Houston and we then plowed through a few new tunes that Samm hadn't heard before. Among them is the new song "Trucker Sucker". Can ya guess what that's about? It's inspired by an old friend of ours from Houston that has a certain affnity for Jerry Reed types.
New riffs and chords have been flowing freely in the last year and just like old times, while rehearsing we end writing yet another song. It doesn't have a title yet, but it's a catchy tune that will fit well into the Monster Soup set list.
I've just gotten word from Samm at 62M headquarters that he is reviving his "Closet Lames" project. It's garage rock with massive volume. We will have some sounds from Closet Lames available soon. Also, look for upcoming shows in the San Fran area. If all goes well, Monster Soup may be making appearances in the area as well.
Demo versions of a few new Monster Soup songs will be available soon! Keep checking back.
