Blood, Sweat & Beers - Voted Best of Dublin 2011!
The Happenings
Rock the Lock 2009
Though thunderstorms threatened to ruin the evening, BSB took the stage in front of a nervous but anticipatory crowd on June 19th at Lock 3 in Akron, Ohio. The band was rewarded by die-hard rock fans braving the weather, and the fans were rewarded with the only thing they needed to kick their weekend off in the best way imaginable - damn fine rock music.
The weather held off most of the evening, and with the help of WONE and the rest of the sponsors, the night continued to rock as BSB exited the stage and turned it over to Gypsies in the Palace, Northeast Ohio's Premier Jimmy Buffet Tribute.
BSB would like to thank WONE, all of the great sponsors, and the City of Akron for their hospitality. This is still our favorite place to play in Northeast Ohio (where we have to keep it clean).

Rest in peace, Walt English. Father, husband, agent.

We have the honor of playing Fado Irish Pub's SPD celebration in Columbus this 3/17/10, which will be the third time in all that we've played it. Fado is one of our favorite venues anywhere, and we have a great working relationship with the pub of all pubs. They have one of the best staffs in Columbus and the best fish & chips this side of the British Isles.
BSB will be coming home to the Akron area several times this summer, starting with a trip to Cuyahoga Falls, where Rockin' On The River gave us our first shot at the big stage back in 2006. June 25, 2010 will see our return to the great local outdoor music venue.
On July 1, 2010, we will find ourselves bouncing our sound off of the buildings in downtown Akron as we take the stage for Lock 3 Live (Rock the Lock). The City of Akron does the best job of any government entity that we've seen of organizing a show and treating the entertainers and patrons with a world of class.
Besides that, we have a ton of great new venues that have taken us on, including Signatures in Gahanna, On The Rocks in Dublin, Orange Carpet Lounge and Tavern at the Mill in Lancaster, Eldorados and J Lindsay's in Columbus, and Mudflats in Galena, to name a few.

Blood, Sweat & Beers kicked things off at the 10th consecutive St. Patrick's Day Session at Fado Irish Pub on Saint Patrick's Day 2010 at 9am! From there, we headed to Captain Jack's in Heath, and played the rest of the night away in style. We may very well have added an establishment to our tradition - tune in next year to see what time we're at Fado.

Entertainment Songs of sexual adventure

Big Pat Masalko
We suggest you don't take preschoolers, your cousin the nun, or any card-carrying member of the Christian Coalition to the Blood, Sweat & Beers concert on Dec. 15 at the Barking Spider. The Canton-based duo of Patrick "Big Pat" Masalko and Eric Rine have made it a musical point to write lyrics strictly about sex -- i.e. the kind in which only hardcore fetishists or experimental teens engage. Take their synth-pop ditty, "The Cleveland Steamer," whose title can best be described on the ultra-popular, all-reliable, reader-driven Wikipedia. Trusting that your preschooler, cousin, or best Bible-belt buddy isn't reading this blog, we shall enlighten you on this sex act presumably named after our fair metropolis. If we may be so blunt, a "Cleveland Steamer" involves a man defecating on his partner's chest, then spreading the feces around with his butt. Needless to say, it's music to all misogynists' ears, especially Masalko and Rine's. "Half the people in the audience don't even realize what we're saying," insists Masalko. "They can hear the word jizz in harmony, and they're, like, 'What are they talking about?'' I laugh so much everyday thinking about what we do." You can read more about these "intellectual smuts" (Masalko's words, not ours) in the December 13 issue of Scene. But we'll leave you with this tease: If you plan to go to their 8:30 p.m. show, head straight to Wikipedia and look up "tea-bagging" beforehand. That way, you can sing along when they rev up their guitars for a rousing rendition of "Russell Crowe." Don't ask. You'll find out when you get there. — Cris Glaser
