Jason Michie 12/28/98

Here's a great shot of Michie rockin-out at the Christmas/Reunion party. Great crowd!!!

My Beginnings on drums...

This is just something I came across the other day. I dig my wind-breaker and hair-do, (Thanks Faye). Those are my buddies Josh Ford on the left of the drum and Tom Douglas, right behind me with the 'Maple Street' shirt on. Matt Hoeveler is to my left. This photo is friccin' ancient. I thik its 1980 or 81.

Wild Bill

We couldn't possibly put together a FREEKS blog without some sort of aknowledgment for 'WILD BILL'. He's supported us more than anyone else out there and he is forever an honorary-member of our band. Thanks Bill!!!

PS-This isn't the best shot, so when I find a better one, I will post it right here.

Josh Kerin & Dave Carroll

This was during the recording of 'Party On The Moon' at Nevin Brown's studio in Bow, NH. Spongee was keepin' it pretty cool...This is totally Dave's personality!!! He's a real joker.

Five-acre Field

Sometime in the spring of 1994, Freeks moved their homebase from the Foster's space on Old Concord Road to an old farmhouse in Henniker. Drummer Jason Michie was living at the old farm at the time and welcomed us in to start playing in a spare room on the first floor. The old farm was isolated enough that we could rehearse all night and not bother anybody. But eventually, people began to go up to the farm to listen to the band, drink beers and chase women. It was very fun, but we rarely got much work done. We'd often find ourselves performing for the partyers and not surprisingly, music can still be heard through the walls at Liberty Hill Farm.

Moon Boot Lover

I just had to put this old picture up. It's Moon Boot Lover opening for us @ New England College in early 1995. It was really cold and windy this day. Our lights, which were onstage with us got blown right off, backwards. We debuted one of our 'most-loved' songs this day as well. "SLEEPY TRUCKER" was written by Josh Kerin and we had just finished writing our parts. I distinctly remember sitting on-stage with the wind blowing and the field in front of us filling up with people. They all looked really cold, but loving the scene. Dave C. announced the new song and I can still hear in my head, the crowd...
After we finished this show around 7 or 8 pm, we packed all our equipment and went to our friend's house in Washington, New Hampshire and played there until around 5 am. Many people came with us to that party and we had such a good time playing all night long.

NOTE: The Organ player and Drummer (not pictured) Front the band Soullive now. The Evans Brothers.
