TOP-NINE THINGS OF 2009:
3) Mason Rack Band
Earlier this year, I packed into a van with my friends Sean and Dan on a random Saturday night to go watch our good friend Joel “Thunderfoot” Purkess perform with his latest musical outfit, the Mason Rack Band (a blues rock threesome headed up by raspy Australian Mason Rack). We drove up to a shady neighborhood pub in Morinville called Rednex, where we were greeted by barflies, truckers, and a small contingent of Mason Rack superfans. Nevertheless, the show was absolutely fantastic.
This particular video (taken at Lydia’s in Saskatoon) features the handsome beast that is Mr. Purkess doing what he does best — whaling on a drum kit. Without having actually studied the technical side of any professional drummers, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that I consider Joel to be world class at what he does. Honestly.
While you’re here, you should check out this video as well from the Kitchener Blues Festival — they’ve opened with this song on their most recent Canadian tour.
Also, if you’re the hot bargirl from Rednex and happen to be reading this, would you be able to get in contact with me? I’d like to see you naked sometime. Thanks.
