Well, started off 2012 with a bang! We took over One Eyed Jack’s in Lynnwood in celebration of our 8th year together as a band. We want to thank all you crazy people out there who came out and had fun. We can’t thank you enough for supporting us and our music! We had friends that we’ve known over the years come out and jam with us and man was it fun! Thanks to  Timon and Shad of Sated Solstice for doing their thing, thanks to our awesome horn section and of course, Keith and Brenden. Kenny’s little brother Chris opened the show with an amazing acoustic set! Thanks to all!

Check out our “Upcoming Shows” link to find out when and where we’re playing next.

Sunday August 28th, we will be headlining the first annual Port Gamble Rock n’ Blues Festival!! We are so excited to be apart of this amazing group of local musicians! We hit the stage at 730pm Sunday. Come out for a good time! All profits will be donated to Savor The Sound. A non profit organization that helps in continuing musical education in local communities.

The second song off of our newest recording “The Devil’s Whiskey” is a goddamn barn-burner baby. Entitled simply “Bullet”, the song is big, rowdy and full of passionate energy. We love playing this one live. Well, we love playing all of our songs live but this one has a special place in our hearts. Check out the lyrics as you listen to it:

The faces, are glowing, I don’t see a thing
Surroundings, are blinding, I’m lost in my own head
I keep on running, and numbing what I know is true
I am reckless, I’ll be dead, before the night is through

Well no bottle gonna help me get through this time
I’ve lost every single nickle and dime
I can’t stand anymore of this pain
I need to end it like a
Bullet to the brain
Bullet to the brain
Waste your life
Don’t waste your life
Don’t take it and
Throw it all away!

Snake slither, whither, sing your song to me
Entice me, delight me, be what you came to be
On my tongue, through my head, you can set me free
The one thing, that I am, you make reality

Well I’m staring down the barrel of a loaded gun
Spitfire hunting, I’m a man on the run
Abel tryin’ hard to survive his Cain
He’s bound to hit me like a
Bullet to the Brain
Bullet to the Brain
Waste your life
Don’t waste your life
Don’t take it and
Throw it all away!

Come on now boy it’s one helluva ride
You’re gonna be, riding high
You’re gonna be, flying high now now
Oh yeah

I ride high on my tide, never will it end
The inside, the outside, I feel no consequences
In my heart, through my veins, immortality
Forever, I will trip, with you inside of me

The past still lies heavy upon my heart
Every single day I still rip it apart
At times it’s just easier to throw it away
And to end it like a
Bullet to the Brain
Bullet to the Brain
Waste your life
Don’t waste your life
Don’t take it and
Throw it all away!

It’s a big, passionate rock song and we hope you love it as much as we do! Share it online with all your friends and please let us know what you think of it. Oh yeah TURN IT UP!

PS our next show is June 11th at Hayley’s in Everett. Tickets available now. Also, check out the new Midstokke Merch Store!

The Devil's Whiskey

Lyrics: 

Now I’m ready
Ready for the party
Down to get down!
So very hot and heavy
I’m ready
Ready for the sexy
Got my baby, baby
We’re gonna burn the night away!

Life is short
Live it fast
Live for today and forget the past
Give it up, Love!
Do the best you can
In life you don’t get no second chance

I’m ready
Ready for the fightin’
Fists and whiskey, lord
Somebody gonna bring it on
I’m ready, ready
To get broken to get bloody
I feel no pain, no way
Yeah, boy you’re bout to pay
Somebody gonna pay!

Life is short
Live it fast
Live for today and forget the past
Give it up, Love!
Do the best you can
In life you don’t get no second chance

Where are my good people when I need them most?
Put up your glass, we’re gonna make a toast!
I’ve got to give it up, all I got to you
You better give it up all that you got too
Cause we own this joint
We’re gonna burn it down right
Gonna do it tonight
Do it, do it! Baby!

I’m ready
Ready to get crazy
Got good people
your love to carry me
I’m ready, ready
I have got to start this party
I got my Jack, Jim Beam and my fifth of EVAN GREEN

Life is short
Live it fast
Live for today and forget the past
Give it up, Love!
Do the best you can
In life you don’t get no second chance
