One thing that always frustrated me as a band member was scheduling practices and shows. Trying to get four people in the same room at the same time on a regular basis is next to impossible when many musicians work outside the 9-5 norm. Lately, even some of  my promo shoots have been getting bumped at the last minute. I had hoped to have two bands shot by 10pm but as I sat down for a Mule at the West Coast Tavern, l still had an empty flash card. Sometimes relying on other people backfires. I'd imagine that Tim Lowman/Low Volts, knows what that's like.

Some of us have more to say than what we can fit into one project like the Blackout Party. I'll bet Tim started playing shows as Low Volts because sometimes it's easier to just learn how to do it yourself.



I only shot a few songs before moving on but once again, WCT booked another perfect drinking companion, gritty and a bit twangy. After my Mule, the bass drum started to fool me into thinking I was watching a full band.
