This is it! The moment that Memphis Crawl has been waiting for. Tonight will be a night to remember. If you're a regular reader of my blog, you know how I'm always talking about how amazing Memphis Crawl is live. I've seen them play some pretty awesome shows, at some pretty awesome venues. However, tonight, will be their greatest performance yet.
There's a lot at stake tonight. Not just the prize money, which would help fund their first full length album, but a lot of important people will be at this gig. If the stars and planets are all aligned properly tonight, the possibilities are endless!
Every great band has had an iconic performance before they exploded into the music world, and changed rock and roll. Tonight, it's Memphis Crawl's turn. It will be a night to remember for sure. People will be talking about this performance for a long, long time.
So make sure you get your butt down to The Paramount tonight. Tickets will be available at the door, $25 bucks a pop. The show starts at 7:30 so please come down and support one of the greatest rock bands of all time, Memphis Crawl. Tonight The Crawl will give a whole new meaning to the word EPIC!

The great Kyle Gass once said, "I would rather play a small venue with 500 people, then a huge venue with 50,000 people." Why would a musician say this? Because it's all about the music, it's all about the fans, it's not about fame and fortune, even as nice as those things are.
When I think about Memphis Crawl, I don't think of Madison Square Garden, Giants Stadium, or The Stables Center. It's small local venues throughout the country that I see The Crawl playing in. While playing in a small venue, the band is able to connect with the audience more on a personal level as they melt the crowds face off. Personally speaking from experience, with several hefty medical bills to prove it! Not only is Memphis Crawl all about their fans, but they also care about the music, which is what Rock N' Roll truly is about! This is why Memphis Crawl is a very rare commodity in the music world today.
With a fair share of "musicians" today in our American society, it's all about how to get to the top, and how to make the most money on the way up. Now don't get me wrong, money is great, and helps a lot with the progress of the band, but that shouldn't be the soul purpose either. With great musical legends like The Doors, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones, it was their music that gave them their super-stardom status.
As a person obsessed with "good" music, there are very few bands who can now compete with Memphis Crawl. While "talkin' bout my generation", there were not a lot of true rock stars that I was able to grow up with, with very few exceptions such as Kurt Cobain and Serj Tankien. Memphis Crawl is a band that I've been able to follow religiously, as well as getting to know the entire band personally. For me, it's beyond a dream come true to be able to be a part of their reign as musical gods.
So without further ado, I present to you a rough cut for Memphis Crawl's first music video for their song Wildflower Annie from their EP Falling Down Against the Sun, so check it out!!!
