And the stories only go on from there. After five years, over
five hundred gigs and a two and a half year stint as the house
band at the House of Blues San Diego, there are plenty to go around.
What started as a two man band in 2004 has evolved
into a trio whose sound evokes thoughts of the soul, blues
and rock of the late sixties and early seventies. From first
listen, the influences of artists such as the Meters, Jimi Hendrix,
Miles Davis and Neil Young are mashed into a sound that defines
the trio of Goodnough, Burrows and McCaskey. Armed with a
catalog of originals that reaches into the hundreds, MDM are
throwbacks to a time when you could see a band on
consecutive nights and still never hear the same set twice.
Having previously released two full length albums with "19 in '67"
(2006) and “Same Old Fight” (2008), the group released their
first studio effort together as a trio in the spring of 2009. The
self-titled 5 song EP showcases the vast amount of musical styles
that the band covers, all the while keeping a sound that is
truly unique.
MDM is:
Todd P. Goodnough - guitar, vocals
David L. Burrows - drums
Brendan T. McCaskey - bass
Awesome news about San Fran...ill tell some friends out there about the shows once they are flushed out and posted. Still diggin the new EP, everyone should get one!
State Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco, announced today he has introduced legislation to legalize and tax marijuana in the state of California.
AB 390 would require that all sales of marijuana be made by licensed sellers and that sales be taxed $50 per ounce. It would also forbid sales to anyone under 21.
"With the state in the midst of an historic economic crisis, the move towards regulating and taxing marijuana is simply common sense," Ammiano said at a morning news conference at the state building on Golden Gate Avenue in San Francisco.
Ammiano said the law, if passed, could generate more than $1.3 billion in much-needed revenue for the state.
"California has the opportunity to be the first state in the nation to enact a smart, responsible public policy for the control and regulation of marijuana," he said.
