Bob Marshall

Watch Bob, and watch him close. See if you can catch him slippin�. You never will, because this plunging draft horse of the VOLUMEN skins never does. Every beat, fill, ride...every damn flam-flam or paradiddle he plays fits as tight and snug as in those walls at Macchu Picchu where you can�t even slip a piece of paper between these stones as big as a Volkswagen Beetle. It�s a craft he�s honed in nearly half a dozen other Missoula bands, including Prosciutto, Saved for This Dark Dawn and the much-missed Spanker. The tireless BobJob is still foaming to rock long after his bandmates have packed it in for the evening, and, like Doug, he�s also an excellent cook. Keep him away from the chilies, though�last time Bob came to my house, he whipped up some 2:30 AM quesadillas that cleared the place out like a canister of CS gas.

Special guests this week Volumen. These guys were a buncha non-smoking well mannered cornfed boys from Missoula Montana. They had great stories about Chickens shitting in their mouths, side project bands involving breakfast foods, and touring in an ambulance- literally. They are on myspace at www.myspace.com/volumen (i think) and I asked them how they would descride their music to which they replied Heavy Wave.
