Denny's Revenge Blog

Denny’s Revenge has a lot of work to do tomorrow night just as Jay is getting ready to leave for his Vegas vacation. We have a pretty big list of songs that we’re going to be working on to add to our set list. Some of them we’ve been trying out over the last couple of weeks but we haven’t officially practiced them in a rehearsal setting. To give you an idea of some songs that you can hopefully expect to hear from us in the new future we have: “Tighten up”-The Black Keys, “Money”-Pink Floyd, “Ridin’ Solo”-Jason Derulo, “Little Lion Man”-Mumford and Sons, “Back in the U.S.S.R.”-The Beatles, “When the sun goes down”-Kenny Chesney (with Uncle Kracker), “I shot the Sherrif”-Bob Marley, and quite a few others.

We always enjoy learning new songs and the last few practices have been very productive with us to be able to nail down close to an entire set of songs in less than 2 hours. Not bad!! Here’s to another fun and productive practice.

If there are song ideas that you’d like us to learn to play at future shows email them to Bryan@dennysrevenge.com

As I was doing some homework tonight and trying to tighten up my guitar playing on some of our songs I came across a video on Youtube that really blew my mind and made me stop and think. You know how it is on Youtube. You’ll be looking up a video, for an example, on how to make a cake, and then that will lead to video recommendations by the band Cake, and then next thing you know you’re watching some weird video about some spoiled brat teenager freaking out because his mom canceled his World of Warcraft account (which will end up being featured on Tosh.0). Anyway……That’s neither here nor there.

I came across a video that demostrates just how much music can be a part of a person’s soul and the tenacity of the human spirit to keep doing the things that it wants to do. And at the very least, on a slightly more shallow level it’s a video of a guy who is one bad-ass feet-playing guitarist. Enjoy!

Our new bassist Tom Wurth got news last week that his father had been involved in a motorcycle accident and rushed the hospital. His father was hit by another driver who didn’t see him coming and later passed away. This is a huge shock to Tom, his wife Sheri, his family, and his friends. As members of the band and friends of Tom we have also felt the shock of this terrible news. I know Tom and his family are all going through a hard time right now and our thoughts and prayers are with them.

We are still currently performing shows with a  backup bassist named Preston. While Preston is a pretty awesome bassist himself, we are anxiously awaiting Tom’s return to Denny’s Revenge. In the meantime, we wish Tom and his family the best until he’s ready to return.
