Blind Melon were playing in Albuquerque, NM last friday. The show was at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and the band opened for Candlebox. “Candlebox rocked! I have not seen those guys in years, it was great to catch up with them as people and great to hear them as a band!!” said Brad Smith after the show. Despite the crazy weather and the fact that New Mexico was having a shortage of gas, the show went fine. “It was great to play Blind Melon songs again and see familiar faces!” Brad Smith said.

Ryan Conway of the Blind Melon Forum was there and, once again, is kind enough to share his photos and videos with the melonhead community! Click the picture below to see more or visit Ryan’s website at www.blindmelonarticles.com

Brad Smith has just posted a video of him making shakers. The music is from the forthcoming Abandon Jalopy record ‘Death And Joy’. Visit Brad’s Etsy store here (the response to his handmade shakers is so amazing that the store maybe empty when you visit it. Check back often as Brad post them for sale as he finishes them).
