West Chester, PA ““ Rex’s
Enter Santa Claus Tressel, patron mascot saint of The Tressels band. We walk in Rex’s to set up and there’s a beat up plastic Santa Claus lawn ornament on stage wearing a Spider Man mask.
I move to investigate further and am met by Mickey Reds. Mickey, plays tambourine and shaker in The Tressels. He tells me to, “Man up, and do a shot.”ť During The Tressels’ set, when there was not a beer in Mickey’s non shaker hand, there was a smoke. He brought it, hard, Ozzfest style.
Santa Claus Tressel was kicked, ashed on, and stepped on. But he remained - solid and stoic, with Christmas cheer. The women like Santa Claus Tressel. He commands respect, while at the same time, his gaze is tender and loving, in an inanimate kind of way. Mickey drank 9 beers and absolutely killed it on shakers and smokes.
Trent - out.
That guy looks like he is the Mac
Truck of tambourine shakers.
Stinky and sweaty!!
Shaking and smoking and rocking. I think every band should have some form of a Mickey and a Santa.
Somehow the Santa the Mickey guy work. It makes me want to get out Back in Black and put on my santa hat. My question is, did Mickey have rhythm, or was he just up there for visual affect?
The Santa eyes are scary. They don't command my respect, but you do, Trent.
Rock & or roll.
