Good News Travels East and West:
After
the Butanes got done backing New Orleans R&B hero Earl King at the
Blues Saloon last weekend, the band headed to Las Vegas, to play
Siegfried & Roy's Holiday Party - no kidding. Last year, Liz Taylor
and Michael Jackson were among the party's attendees - no kidding
again. After two nights spent at the famous Aladdin Hotel, the Butanes
should have plenty of stories to tell. Somebody call Robin Leach.
It appears that new drummer Dan Hostetler, an Indiana native with
impressive jazz credentials, joined the Butanes' ranks just in time.
That boy's jet-settin now. By the way, Curt Obeda and his gang are
accompanying Earl King again this weekend, in Chicago. Congrats!
