Hilly - R.I.P. ZAK thanks Hilly... Hilly Thanks NY

So... Punk Rock has lost another cool elder...
Hilly Kristal, the man who thought he opened a "Country Blue Grass & Blues bar", & ended up becoming the caretaker to a generation of freaks, rejects, and geniuses, has passed away... ;-(

His only requirement for those wierdos, soon to be dubbed 'Punks'... was that they play "originals".

Well, here's an original... Written by ZAK,
performed by Team Spider:

entitled:
"Hilly Thanks New York, New York Thanks Hilly....."

IRELAND

Dublin...
paid in Pizza and Guiness...


crappy gig, but resulted in being invited to play Rebellion fest next year in England... ( sort of a punk rock woodstock)
amazing gig in Clonmel, Co. Tiperary, felt like the enitre town was there...
paid in Bulmers ( the local cider, called Magners in US,) and Euros...


later got stuck in the mud after playing a festival gig,
all 5 of us slept in car till a farmer towed us out at 8am w/ his tractor...
hippies tried to help, then showered us in mud
"embrace the mud" was heard as they wrecked the paint job on our rental vehicle...
oh well, hippies are what insurance was created for...

more to come!

TEAM SPIDER is on tour SPREADIN' THE BIKE CORE REALITY 007 in England, Ireland, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and good ole Amsterdam...

http://www.flickr.com/photos/teamspider/sets/72157601319371797/ and some highlights... which we are uploading from a remote posh estate in Newcastle England. The people are graciously hosting us, along with some othre bands: HOGWASH (france), and PICKLED DICK ( England )& may not have known what they were getting into, when i went downstairs a moment ago HOGWASH's crew wash shoveling spilled pizza goo under the fridge!

Most of the time we are the only band staying at a place, which ahs ranged from squats in London, to Metal Head havens in Belfast, to a van stuck in the Mud all night in ireland till a farmer pulled us out in his tractor....

we have shot so much video, i sense "FUCK BRAKES: THE MOVIE" in the future...
We'll see !!!!
