Rockin' the Red Room

Billy (drums) aka Sir William Full Blast, Charles (guitar and lead vocals) aka Chuck Thrust, and Chad (bass) aka Chad Did It - the core team of the Dartgun machine.


Suzie loved her birthday presents! I gave her some handmade earrings and a handmade candle, and we got her her own microphone. Now if she ever has to leave the band she can take her microphone with her!

Doo-wop girls at the Red Room!

Kat showed up when we had four songs left so she's not in these pictures. But her arrival on stage in the eleventh hour was a classic moment in rock history.

That's right, I can wear the same dress to meet the mayor in the morning and to sing with the band in a dark nightclub at night.

Chuck's girlfriend from seventh grade showed up with her husband!

Dave is Suzie Q's long-distance beau. He just arrived from the Virgin Islands and is leaving to drive to New York tomorrow! He'll be working for the summer at a restaurant in Manhattan. He's looking for a place to stay. I hooked him up with Joan, as she is an apartment manager and can probably help. If nothing else I hope they will meet and hang out!



Crazy people! That's Obadiah with Kat, and Melodie down front.

Melodie just finished eating a delicious chocolate cupcake supplied by the sweet, sassy bartendress, who just happens to be Cari, the owner of Motokitty. Get this, Cari recognized my last name from Chuck's debit card, realized who I was (I did a craft show in her parking lot a couple years ago) and asked me about carrying my cuffs at her store! Thrilling! I am going there Thursday!

It was a fun, red-soaked evening in a small world.

Listen to our songs and be our friend!

The Longview show

I'm getting ready to go out and play with the band - Dartgun has a show tonight at The Red Room in NE Portland (if you're in town the address is 2530 NE 82nd Ave.). For now, here are a few pictures from our recent road trip to Longview, WA to play a punk show with Howie & The Hotknives and the Hickmans.

Here's Kat and Andrew at the club - Did you know Andrew is in the band? He's Chuck's 20 year old son. He isn't playing with us tonight, due to not being 21, but in Longview it was okay. That's because it was at a Chinese Restaurant. Weird.

Here's Suzie and Kat:


Today is Suzie Q's birthday!!! Happy birthday, sister! I love you!

The Vignettes:

And finally, here's me and Chuck after the show. I wish I had some pics of our actual performance...maybe tonight I can get someone to take pictures for us.
