Alabaster

This band hails from Seattle. Together four years now, they just added singer Moira Salewski and are running stronger than ever. They played at Studio Seven this past Monday (March 24th) with Zolof the Rock n Roll Destroyer, The Morning Of, Kenotia, and Jet Lag Gemini. I'd tell you it was an awesome show but my punk ass stayed home sick. From what I heard it was amazing, so gratz to all those who made it out. Their next show is an all ages at Roy's Place in Lynnwood, Washington on April 19th-7:30pm. All the details are on their Myspace

I was going to write their original history, but I think Kate (lead guitar/ screams) did a way better job than I ever could. So until they tell me to take this off, here you go-

Visions from the Past

Alabaster Journal Entry 8/28/04-

Well I thought maybe I’d take a few minutes out of my busy shredding schedule to give you low down on the (are you ready for this) “The history of Alabaster”!So lets see it all began on dreary day back in some month that isn’t right now, I believe about a year and a half ago. Note: Before we go on this extended meaningless journey you must understand there have been many kegs devoured, bottles dropped from moving cars, “how fast can you fall down These stairs” tournaments, lawn jobs, blow jobs, loss of jobs, the darkness of DUI’s and Unemployment, Rim jobs, sexy silky panties on way too stupid of girls, skinny boys with too tight of pants on, hot girls, fat girls with fatter toes, and last but not least any drama that plagues a band and just makes them want to drink more, like the Cubs loosing game 6… Now with that all said… Let’s proceed…Kate was on this ridicules sabbatical in Los Angles to find love and the meaning of life but instead found Bull shit on a silver platter. Chris knew Kate had left a year prior and had his heart sent on heading out there so, he proceeded to try and track down her L.A. phone number by sleeping with prostitutes and buying cheap vodka. He wound up at her chicago door step one day to find her surprisingly home. So Kate decided that she should show Chris dingy ol' L.A. and prove to him he’s only missing two things in his life: the ocean, and the CAVE which is this remote sanctuary in Malibu that all people must visit before they die. So they hopped a plane for a drug educed, alcohol filled, landslide weekend of a mess in Los Angles. Chris had the pleasure of hearing Kate rock out on the guitar this fateful weekend and mentioned in a heavily slurred tone “heyzz, I playzz thez drumsz”. So from there they started rocking with all this really bad music that, at the time, they thought, “So totally rocked”. Only to find out when stumbling across Joe Bosslet that the possibilities of advancement were just arriving… See, at the time Kate and Joe worked together for this ridicules airline named Atlantic Coast Airlines, which handed them phenomenal flight benefits but was basically slave labor. From time to time Kate and Joe would wake up in Hawaii, San Diego, Denver, St. Paul Minnesota, Tampa, Rome or even Amsterdam to realize they had bought a 3-legged prostitute and 12 hits of ecstasy. Either way, one night they happened to be on an extremely alcohol educed, good food filled-adventure in Seattle with Kate’s good ol’ asshole of a friend, Joel Jester… (He really is an asshole just ask him how you look in those jeans, He'll tell ya alright!) When Kate had the pleasure of listening to Joe rip some cords on an acoustic guitar, she begged, then eventually drugged him, and got him to come to band practice. To help the plateau-ing band that was just getting good, but well, was also really starting to suck too. So for the next month Joe, Kate, and Chris would rock furiously on continuous new songs that would be the foundation of their first CD, “My Intentions”.The arrival of Shaina happened almost as beautiful as a car wreck. She had a horrible break up with her x and was looking to get out and forget the whole mess. So, Kate (as any good friend would do) took her out and tried to get her drunk and seduce her. Only to find out that, that wasn’t her idea of “getting out”. In light of her minor misunderstanding of a mistake Kate then proceeded to bring her to band practice and let her relax on Chris’s futon while the band got drunk and tried to practice. Shaina ended up having some great idea’s for the band, not to mention was extreamly hot, and very talted in the sack, so we signed her up. Sure enough As things would go she has become an unbelievable asset with a nice ass. So, that’s how it started. The Truth in its entirety but if you want to hear about the messy stuff just let us know and we’ll get the: “what happened after the beginning was over” story out on the net for your viewing pleasure.

Love,

Alabaster

But this is only the origin. I'll have more on what's transpired since then later, and hopefully an interview or some.
