 Butch Wax & the Hollywoods - 20th Anniversary Party

Butch Wax and the HollywoodsAn evening with Butch Wax and the Hollywoods
{7/23/05 | the Pageant}

Together with Dr.’s Mark & Theresa Knight and Big Dave, Mama and I enjoyed the evening of St. Louis’ own Butch Wax and the Hollywoods. The evening celebrated both their 20th anniversary and the release of their newest CD “Let The Good Times Roll” (see review). The three hour show, two-set featured thirty-five musicians playing rock, blues, R&B and danceable classics from the 70’s. There was a Johnnie Johnson tribute picture show with debut of the song “I’m Just Johnnie”. Gus Thornton, Tony T. and Kenny Rice were there to participate. Fox 2’s own musically talented weatherman, Glenn Zimmerman led a couple of songs as did several members of the bands’ past. Billy Peek ended the show with high energy electric blues and an excellent rendition of Johnnie B. Goode. Photo Joe and Lady Di were taking pictures although STLBlues’ own Big Dave was a photo demon, snapping away like crazy. The Pageant was packed with two or three hundred thousand party goers all enjoying the great tunes (note: my numbers may be off as I had a couple of beers and it’s been hot out).

Visit Butch’s cyber home at www.butchwax.net, get their schedule and go seem em’ live (Mama says its well worth it). In fact if I want to hear the CD I’ll need to drive Mama’s car, as she won’t share.

Ciao' for now, peace.
