The Spooges at Headquarters

Not sure exactly how it happened, but suddenly I have found myself playing bass in a hilarious band called, The Spooges. Why that name? Because it’s made up of members of The Fags (plus Rob Morgan as front man) — and we’re playing all Stooges songs. Fags + Stooges = The Spooges. (don’t blame me; it was Rob who came up with the name!).

Considering this started pretty much as a lark, I can’t believe how much fun I’m having — we’re all having. Dahny Reed’s guitar leads are so raw that Rob and I find ourselves laughing during them just because they are SO rocked out. It appears that Dahny goes into some kind of distortion-wah-wah-trance when he plays them, and you can almost see the sounds pulsing throughout his entire body… very fun to watch and hear. My brother Ben Ireland is drumming like an absolute maniac . . . → Read More: Ladies and Gentlemen… THE SPOOGES!
