Brat and Diesel formed Poke in March 2004, the day the doghouse bass arrived. The slap bass provides that boom-chucka, train-rollin'-down-the-track sound that was so essential. Then came J, putting the wood to the skins, and after a bit Speedy hopped on board, guns a'blazing. We have put it down all around the town and now it's time for YOU TO JOIN THE POKENATION and scream at the the top of your ever lovin' lungs, "FUCK YEAH, ITS COUNTRY!". ...
Like the Jason and the Scorchers/Rank and File vibe. Now, is 'Speedy' the Bobby Gray from Charlotte, NC, that hammered on the guitar for Helpless Dancer in the 80s??? Rick G. // bass guitar // Helpless Dancer
Hope you are having a great day! We are going to be playing at the VAC(3638 Osage St. Garden City) this Sat. Sept 6th! Doors @ 8pm music @ 9pm, come check it out if you are free.
Hi there! We have a show tomorrow (Saturday, August 30) at the Plank (650 S Vista Ave) in Boise with Bonefish Sam and His Orchestra at 9 pm. Hope you get a chance to make it out!
Howdy! Just letting our Boise MySpace friends know... The Invasion will be playing their first show at the VAC on Wednesday with Le Fleur, The Universal, and The Neon Trees. This is one of the best local lineups, and we've heard great things about the sound in the VAC!
Hey Diesel, glad you and your family enjoyed the show! What a great setting for a gig. I don't think we always were the same outfits but we may have worn the same thing last time we played with you fellas. :)
