The Blaine Younger Band has been performing throughout Kansas and beyond since 2004. Over the past 5 years the BYB has become one of the region’s most popular acts. The bands’ members are Blaine Younger –Victoria, KS (vocals, guitar, keys), Rex Striggow – Hill City, KS (vocals, guitars), Garrett Reser – Topeka, KS (bass), and Trent Dansel Jetmore, KS(drums). The BYB can best be summed up and described in one of their new songs – “Rock The Prairie” (written as a band mission statement song). It will be on their upcoming album to be released by the end of the year:
Rock The Prairie -
We’re gonna bang your heads and make you sing. We’re gonna do this outlaw country thing. Right here in the heart of the USA. We don’t give a damn about what you say. We’re gonna Rock The Prairie And Roll The Plains.
We’re gonna dig our roots from where we came. We’re gonna show the world and put ‘em in the ground again. We’re gonna party with The Younger Gang. Shoot moonshine, hell right on stage. We’re gonna Rock The Prairie and Roll The Plains.
We’ll be rollin’ down the tracks on an old coal train. Rockin’ with a twister in the alley way. Spreadin’ like a prairie fire on a windy day. We’re gonna Rock The Prairie and Roll The Plains.
They’re gonna pump our tunes on the radio waves. Through the oilfields through the fields of grain. At the county fair on the midway stage. Down in Aggieville in those college days. We’re gonna Rock The Prairie And Roll The Plains.
We’ll be rollin’ down the tracks on an old coal train. Rockin’ with a twister in the alley way. Spreadin’ like a prairie fire on a windy day. We’re gonna Rock The Prairie and Roll The Plains.
Like the red dirt boys and our Texas country friends. Brother Kansas country is right around the bend. With the armadillos movin’ north these days. Man them buffalo are gonna roam again. We’re gonna Rock The Prairie And Roll The Plains.
We’ll be rollin’ down the tracks on an old coal train. Rockin’ with a twister in the alley way. Spreadin’ like a prairie fire on a windy day. We’re gonna Rock The Prairie and Roll The Plains.
Sorry I couldn't make the show on Halloween cousin. Had to work..but you can bet the family was sure telling me all about it and trying like hell to get me there. Still think we should book a double gig somewhere, sometime. BYB and Red Circle on one stage...might make a helluva Kansas night.
CD Release party for our new one is Jan 2nd, 2010 at The Jolly Troll in Holton, KS if you can make it.
