Yikes! Bakon gets a rude awakening. Today in looking at our web hosting we discovered someone in Japan had jacked our old original domain, www.threepoundsofbakon.com, which we've owned for 10 years. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this soon. Lots of links broken for now, etc. Hang with us please, and sorry for the hassle!

Happy Holidays from the Bakon family. Just doing a little maintenance work to bring the site more into alignment with web standards. Hope y'all have a great New Year's too! We'll see what 2005 has in store for Bakon.

We still have regular stuff thru our merch page too.

Yepp...Bakon is working on some new songs and will shortly be re-recording
some vintage tracks. Spike and Gino have been busy screwing around with
other
musical projects. Rumor has it that they're working on some kind of drum-and-bass
thing, but details are sketchy at this point. Spike did mention that it
would "blow minds". Check back, hopefully more details to follow
soon.

Happy New Year! You can't keep Three Pounds of Bakon down (especially
after a heavy night of drinking). New Bakon stuff is in the works. Spike and
Gino have been restlessly working on some new tunes for your aural pleasure.
More news will be arriving soon. Stick around.

More Hiatus! No shows planned in the near future. Spike and Gino are
working on a modern rock project, Spacearrow
(formerly Slosh), and they are both now playing in LA's very own rock extravaganza,
Shoddy. Ergo, lots going on, so it's
going to be a while until the 3LBSOB gets going again.

Happy New Year of the Double-Ought! The Bakon boyzz successfully returned from
Portugal, surprisingly in one piece. Shows were a total blowout, there's videotape
and DAT recordings of the whole Hard Club show (which'll be up as soon as we
get them from our pal Alvaro) and video of the show at Azanha. For now, plenty
of new photos of the shenanigans...Spike and Gino have started
a real love affair with Portugal's national drink, port, which could lead to
some serious trouble...the boyz thank Alvaro and Basement
for the kick-ass times. Potentially a show coming up in L.A. in January, but
it's not confirmed.

Bakon's Portugal mini-tour under way. Spike and Gino say hi. The streets of
Porto are lined with huge 4' posters of the boyz and Athena. The scandals have
begun!! The December 17th show at the Hard Club in Porto has been rescheduled
for Thursday, December 16th. On Sat., Dec. 18th, the boyz will move their fiasco
to Azanha in Vila do Conde. Both shows are with the super Portuguese hard-rockers
Basement.

Bakon's Portugal mini-tour is about to get under way. December 17th at the Hard
Club in Porto is still a go, but the December 18th show has been rescheduled
to the Vila do Conde club outside of Porto. Basement
is going to be rockin' out with the boyz...look for Alvaro from Basement to
make a special appearance with 3LBSOB at the Hard Club show. Hopefully Spike
will be able to upload some photos 'n' stuff when they get there, or right after
they get back.

Bakon's going to Portugal to play two shows: December 17th at the Hard Club
in Porto, and December 18th at the Ritz Club in Lisbon. The guys are super excited.
Now they just need to figure out how to pack a mannequin in a suitcase... :)
The boys will be playing both shows with bad-ass Portuguese heavy rockers Basement,
who are some of the most awesome people on the planet. If you want to hear what's
going to be sizzlin', check the new MP3 section and
download some complete tracks!

Whoo doggy...it's been a while since I updated the site. Lots of news...
First, Bakon wants to welcome a very welcome new addition, drummer Brian
Creamer. Brian whacks those drums old-school style like no other! Both Gino
and Spike are really happy to have Bry-Guy aboard. The band has been rehearsing
for the past few weeks or so, and it's sounding damn good. Bakon is tentatively
going into the studio to cut another demo at the beginning of October. Although
Gino and Spike have parted musical ways somewhat with Arizona, they still keep
in touch with him very often and remain on very friendly terms. Arizona's bizzy
workin' fer the L.A. Philharmonic man...(hope
he's not bringin him down!)
Second, today Bakon had their first show in a really long time (since the spring). LMU's Regent's Terrace erupted in a sonic melee, complete with stuffed-animal-stabbing, half-naked-female-mannequin whipping, and other "inappropriate for a Jesuit university" acts. Evidently, LMU's higher-ups, including those at the local radio station, weren't amused or pleased by Bakon's "bleeding edge" (no pun intended) show or "sexist" behavior (did they mean 'sexy'?). But then again, Bakon expects whiners and dubious naysayers along the rocky road to success; from the cheering of the students that had gathered there, the unfortunate political fallout was certainly negligible. The band debuted some new tracks ("Messed Up" and "New Controller") including a new version of "Taste My Pain" to a very warm and enthusiastic response from their home crowd.
Finally, if you are into the aforementioned "sissy-rock", you may enjoy Gino and Spike's new classic-schlock band called "Eldorado". Actually, Bakon thinks the music is great, i.e., they are under the impression that "chix will dig it". 1st show scheduled for Rusty's Surf Ranch on the Santa Monica Pier in Santa Monica, CA on October 1st, 10pm. All ages. The boys will be sharing the bill with their good jam-band-rocker-friends "The Blue Room".

Fixed the sound links. Use the RealAudio ones, they sound
best and are the
dag-nabbity fastest! Also uploaded the Loyolan article.

Today's show & live radio broadcast was cancelled due to rain :(
But we'll be back on March 30th, same time, same place, more fun! :)
P.S. Sorry about any bad links here...I've been too lazy to update lately. Sound
clips & pix will be up soon.
We also had a big interview/write-up in the Los Angeles Loyolan...check it out here soon!
