Warstars @
Billy Ray's
Portland, OR

* * *

After Adam Ion left Warstars to experiment with "Stadium Rock" in his new band Distracted, he and Andy maintained a friendship. While chilling over beers, Adam mentioned to Andy that Distracted had played this cool little place on M.L.K. Blvd called Billy Ray's.

The words he spoke echoed in Andy's mind... Soon after, Andy Warstar landed the Warstars a gig at Billy Ray's.

The band played a tight set in a tight space upstairs above the bar. The acoustics of the room yielded a very nice quality recording for C.D. release.

The set went well, aside from the chick at the bar telling Warstars to turn down right in the middle of "Chunks".

Billy Ray's...
It's a cool place to listen to cool underground music... but stay away from the food... Oh and stay away from the water... Oh yeah, and stay away from the wench at the bar.
