Forums:

I'm pleased to announce that a very special lineup of one of San Diego's finest local bands, Hit the wall, will b reuniting on Sunday July 30th at winstons in ocean beach.

We'll b playing a fun, yet seriously rockin Sunday happy hour day show from 3-5:30pm

Hit the wall is a jammy blues/funk/Rock project that has been delighting San Diego for well over 2 decades now with covers and originals.

there have been many configurations of the band over the years and I was lucky enough to b a big part of it in the late aughts.

this lineup featuring the groups founder, and frequent republic collaborator, Stacy Williams, myself, the lovely lead vocalist Danita jo and the powerhouse of a drummer Gary Mizhir (who's flying all the way from Virginia just to join us.)

This will b my first time performing at winstons and having seen some of my favorite musicians there such as David Nelson, George porter, Karl Denson and mike watt in the past makes this gig extra special for me.

it would b an honor to see some zoners in attendance.

Fun fact: this group last performed together at the final 8x10 zjam in Baltimore.

most of that set can b seen here courtesy of Zeus:

Great band.  Gonna try and make this for sure.

 

Without Hit The Wall, The Republic probably wouldn't have gigged as much as we did.  We used all their PA gear.

Good point, every republic performance after the summer of 06' has featured Stacy Williams and his PA.

lol, chances are we'll be moving north to either the Sacramento or Reno area by the end of July/early August, of course right when I'm finally established professionally in SD County. Should know which place next week.

I'll try to make this one if possible between work and moving, though. It would be fun to party a little in OB at least once before leaving the area.

One of these days for sure. I figure I'll be hitting up one of those Sactown zoner jams once we are living in closer proximity, plus I plan on working in the capitol region on and off. Have a great visit and enjoy the coastal temps. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous down here recently after a couple of warmer weeks.

Not triple digits?  Perfect!

Turtle, if our drummer can fly in from Virginia, I can drive damn near the entire length of California and Hoover can transport his entire family all the way from Fresno by camel to b there, I think u should b able to float down to OB on a surf board for this.

What a fantastic time that was.  The band sounded great, there was a good sized crowd, and some of my favorite people on the planet were there.  Got a little choked up at one point cause it was simply so awesome.

 

Furious Es new Guild Starfire sounds awesome and killed on Mr Big.  Danita sounded great and, Stacy's guitar playing was top notch all all day.  

 

The drive home was brutal.

i hear that!

sunday was one of the best days of my life.

started the day visiting with my niece for only the second time, then played winstons for the first time and finished the night by seeing heron oblivion and Steve Gunn band in normal heights.

i think there might have been more people at the hit the wall show as crazy as that sounds.

so nice to see that band getting a solid crowd turnout and respect from the venue.

we went way over our allotted time slot and they were all good with it.

HTW really is an underrated San Diego treasure.

i was a little rusty on all that material but I thought the band played really well, all things considered.

I'm proud to have been part of the lineup for this and am honored by the people who attended, especially those that travelled from out of town.
