Faith Healers…Pure Rock Fury

Cannabis intoxication will not cause permanent brain damage.

Pure Rock Fury ..at its finest circa ’89. The Faith Healers shaped my musical outlook and changed the way I heard and saw music forever.

Jeff, thanks for the kind words. Those were some of the best times of my life. In a way, it’s odd to work in an enviroment of bands, music etc… and yet almost no one here is aware of my musical past. Time moves on. As you mentioned, I co-own two clubs where I book/promote all the shows at.
After about 15 years of playing music…I sorta walked away from it a bit. I still play but I currently have no band or play live. Maybe sometime. Those were great days…playing with The Butthole Surfers, Flaming Lips etc…and traveling the country living out of an old van!

FYI, after Faith Healers / Dali Automatic, I did some more personal type music…darker, sadder songs in Honey Died. Think Nick Cave, Tindersticks, Serge Gainsbourg. The last thing I did was The Delta Spacemen…kind of a return to space/rock w/ a bit of 70’s era Bowie / TRex influence. Dave Garrett went on to form The Tares (who did quite well before disbanding). They were a country influenced pop/rock band. Imagine Badfinger gone country. After that, he was a member of The Charlie Mars Band. Dave’s currently living in Austin, TX and just visited my house today! Brian Petty briefly had Star Sutra and I’m not sure of his current whereabouts. Paul Boatright lived in Los Angeles for many years after his very popular funk band Punkinhead broke up. He’s just recently moved back to Fayetteville. I just saw him tonight too! Sean Reagan never played live again but still lives in Fayetteville.

Well, again thanks for the kind words. As I promised, I’ll gather up a big package of stuff (although it sounds like you have stuff that even I don’t!) and send it to ya. Looking back, a lot of it was just “growing up in public” recorded to tape and not very good…but occasionally we did something worthwhile! Actually, reading your post has caused me to reflect and it’s kind of inspiring. Thanks, Wade
