Well, I’ll tell you what…I love being a musician here in Orlando. The weather is amazing right now, and I’ve been really fortunate to be working with some fantastic people. While not all of it has been Buffalo-related, I do Buffalo-appreciate it.

Yet another wonderful addition to my pedalboard thanks to Doug the PedalGuru (unregistered trademark). This guy…tone for days, pedals for life (unregistered copyright). Also, tone-related…had BirdDog Bobby tune up the 6545 so she is raring to go.

Still getting the Ugly situated before getting back into the show grind. As you anxiously await it, we’ll be ruthlessly creating it, so hold tight young Bucky.

After thinking a long time about it, we’ve decided to change the name of the album from The Ugly to Chinese Democracy.

After listening to Chinese Democracy, we’ve decided to stick with The Ugly.

The good news is after hibernation comes animal-size hunger, so we will be eating rock and roll in American-sized portions in no time. For now, we eagerly await.

Next update next week with news on shows and more.

Some quick thoughts right quick.

I love Buffalo Gun because it sounds good n loud.

We and DeLand had a merry New Years Eve gathering where OBP did everyone right. I LOVED being on the outdoor stage at DaVinci, and we played one eff of a party. Thanks to Steve, Parks and the Nard Dawg for making 2010 just a little louder than 2011 expected, and Orange Blossom Pilsner for providing the true entertainment that evening. DeLand never looked so good…

Recording The Ugly is what must be done, and now.

Here’s a fun fact! Just got a new pedal via Doug PedalGuru, an unofficial nickname for an officially amazing guy. This man is going to change the audible face of my guitar tone one stomp at a time, and this first box is certainly clearing the drives on my board. Expect much much more to come from Doug, my new best sonic friend.

Harken thine ears, o Viedo
Sharpen thine axes, young and old
The Ugly will be upon us shortly
And we will merrily break bread and guitars

Next update will include our epic return to Orlando and the next HUGE step in BuffaloGunDom.

If you haven’t gone down to see Luminescence 2010 at Gaylord Palms, then your faces are still in tact and eyes have not seen fingers break the sound barrier. And now for the good news…it’s still happening! Come check out “Dirrty Craig” Smith from “Dirrty Hairy” or myself (sadly on opposite days) for a fantastic Trans-Syberian-esque buffet of awesome. Seriously fun show with more talent than you can fit in one giant atrium.

Now for the gun powder.

We have shows out the chimney for this December, starting with an amazingly themed holiday show THIS SATURDAY. On December 11th at the Copper Rocket in Maitland, Buffalo Gun and Skyline Underground will be throwing a fantastic party, and we need you there to catch it.

Now for the theme (instructions included):

SU’s frands (friends+fans=frands) will be dressed in their ugly holiday knits while Buffalo Soldiers will be celebrating a redneck Christmas. This is a friendly competition, and those ready to participate Southern-style will reap the rewards. Buffalo Gun will provide a soundtrack awesome enough to finally pop the question to your first cousin. Ladies, bring your babies, in utero or otherwise, and guys, fight the weather in style with your NASCAR jacket.

Wear An Outfit that Celebrates like this.

Here are the other two shows we have scheduled this month:

December 18th Shea’s in Mt Dora – Buffalo Gun rides again with 22Blaac and SugarFree plus 20WT
Decemeber 31st – OBP presents Buffalo Gun at DaVinci in Deland – The Ringer For the New Year

More on these events next entry. But for now, tattoo your calendars and be ready for rock to force that egg nog right back up.
