Random story from the Road:

This wasent with powderburn, but I remember setting a hotel room on fire (totally on accident) with a country band I was touring with.  We were drinking heavily, and the singer thought he would practice his golf swing before the next morning.... He swung, hit the AC, knocked the bottle of 151 off the AC, and strait into the fun electrical parts...  Instant fire, and all the bass player did was walk over and open the window...

Funny enough, they thought the AC broke on its own, and we didnt get charged a dime.

What would you be doing if you weren't in Powderburn?

Probably making porn videos with my director, Ken "North High Five" Lockman

BAND COMMENTS

 

Ken

Dale does it all. He fixes guitars, trailers, trailer tires, drums, V-10 engines, he cuts hair, makes food, raises kittens, holds yard sales, and sells hermit crabs all to help the band move forward, and all while smoking a pipe. But for real, he’s the secret unofficial/official member of powderburn

Greg

 Dale is like Mr. Wizard meets Tim “The Tool Man” Taylor… he likes to build and fix stuff, and knows just enough to be dangerous. He’s also got an unhealthy penchant for fire. And he finds it extremely funny to tear something of mine apart down to the bolts and then say “Hmm… never seen THAT before” And then waits for me to freak out on him for destroying my gear. Yeah… funny.

Pat

If MacGyver were real, he would ask Dale what to do when he had a problem. The ultimate man to have on the road – he does literally everything for us but serve us sexually. He would probably even do that if the rate was right.

 

He’s also the king of riding the outskirts of the legal age of consent. If you have a daughter that just graduated high school, best to keep her away from Dale. And I mean that with the sincerest sense of awe and respect, of course.
