March 30, 2026 The Chainsaw Kittens
Bricktown Amphitheater.
Chainsaw Kittens take the stage. Norman band. Cult following. Built their name the hard way.
Tyson Meade was never typical frontman energy. He had his own lane. Art-driven. Different. The band carved out a reputation far beyond just local buzz.
Years later, word was Tyson had been overseas in Asia teaching English as a second language. Then he made his way back to Oklahoma City around the time cannabis became legal.
That’s the thing about scenes.
Bands evolve. Artists disappear for a while. Then they resurface in a completely different chapter.
Chainsaw Kittens were part of that era when Norman bands weren’t just local acts. They were movement pieces.

March 29, 2026 Edgefest 2003
Sponsored by The Edge. Packed with national acts and a wave of local bands filling out the lineup. It wasn’t just a concert. It was a scene.
Jeff, Max, and Sean McGillicuddy weren’t just attending. They were running merch. Tables set up in a full circle around the field. Shirts, CDs, boxes stacked high.
And then it got weird.
The band drops off all these merch boxes… and never picks them back up.
Now you’ve got stacks of inventory that don’t belong to you. Running around the festival trying to track someone down to return it. Carrying it. Protecting it. Trying to do the right thing.
That’s the side of festivals nobody sees.
Not just the stage lights. Not just the headliners.
It’s the hustle behind the tables.

March 27, 2026 Ichiro & The Samurai Saki House
May 30, 2003. Social Burn, Memento, Presence, and Headroom at The Samurai.
David was working with Headroom, trying to break the band. Social Burn had major label heat. It felt like another club show on paper.
It wasn’t.
Ichiro ran The Samurai differently. If you told him a national act was in town, he made space. Weeknight, weekend, didn’t matter. He understood traffic before social media existed.
Bands would come in. He’d cook for them. They’d hang out. A local band would be playing. Someone makes a phone call.
“Hey. Guns N’ Roses is at The Samurai.”
No Instagram story. No group text. Just a phone and word spreading fast. If you were smart, you got in your car immediately.
Next thing you know, the place is packed.
That was Ichiro. That was The Samurai.

March 26, 2026 The Mad Dogs & Englishmen Tour
Before it became legendary, it was a lifeline.
The promise behind Mad Dogs & Englishmen wasn’t just music. It was survival. The project, the record, the tour — it helped Joe Cocker stay in the United States. Financially. Professionally. It reset the board for him.
At that moment, you could argue Leon Russell was bigger. Leon had played with The Stones. He was jamming with JJ Cale. He was already respected as one of the greatest sidemen in rock history. He had his own records moving. His name carried weight.
The Mad Dogs & Englishmen record landed on A&M, not Shelter. Different chapter. Different phase.
And when they reunited later? It had been years since they had shared a stage together like that.
Some tours are promotion.
Some tours are rescue missions.

March 25, 2026 Don’t EVER Go On The Bus
Backstage, small things turn into big explosions.
A can of Campbell’s soup gets dumped into a crockpot instead of making it from scratch. She sees it. She snaps. Full meltdown over respect, effort, and doing things the right way. That was lesson one.
Later that night, another scene unfolds.
A girl is crying in the back of the house. The bus is gone.
Max doesn’t sugarcoat it. “You were on the bus? You never go on the bus.”
No rescue mission. No dramatic reunion. Just taillights fading into the night.
Some rules in the music business aren’t written anywhere. You learn them in real time.

March 25, 2026 ZZ Top, Bob Weir & Stone Sour Shows
March 3, 2003. The Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers Tour hits the Ford Center with ZZ Top and Ted Nugent. Huge stage. Huge room. At that time, that pairing still felt massive.
That same season, Stone Sour rolled through with Powerman 5000, Raw, Systematic, and Outspoken. Back-to-back nights. Diamond Ballroom one night. The Other Side the next. No breaks. Just load in, execute, load out, repeat.
Meanwhile in Tulsa at Cain's Ballroom, Bob Weir and RatDog were doing their thing. That was the night the mayor handed Bob Weir a key to the city. Deadheads lined the sidewalks. Grilled cheese in the air. Full scene energy.
Different crowds. Different cultures. Same crew working the calendar.
Arena legends. Metal double-headers. Jam band history.
That stretch of 2003 was nonstop.

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony at the Diamond Ballroom
May 16, 2003.
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony at the Diamond. And back then, it wasn’t a partial lineup. It was pretty much all of them.
644 people in the room. Packed energy. That era when “First of the Month” still hit different live.
Fast forward to 2023 and Bone Thugs is booked at Choctaw in Grant, Oklahoma around 4/20. Different venue. Different stage. Same name.
Some acts cycle through trends.
Bone Thugs keeps showing up.

March 22, 2026 Mötley Crüe Came To My Parents’ House
Max shows up at his parents’ house and asks to borrow the van. With him are Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee, right in the middle of their wild ’80s era. Long hair. Tight clothes. Zero subtlety.
Deana answers the door and has no idea who they are. Dad just sees “Max and some friends.”
Van keys handed over. Chaos era Crüe standing in a conservative Oklahoma driveway.
That’s how normal and insane collided in one afternoon.

March 21, 2026 Malevolent Creation, Rollins, Chevelle & 30 Seconds to Mars
There was a stretch when the calendar stopped making sense.
Malevolent Creation was pulling in Oklahoma City crowds. The joke was that people might see the name on the flyer and think it was a church group. It wasn’t. It was heavy. And it worked.
This was the period when everything started accelerating. The groundwork in the venues was paying off. Systems were forming. Max and Jeff became road dogs.
The same night, at the Bricktown Event Center, Henry Rollins was likely doing one of his first spoken word tours. A different kind of show. Different energy. Same hustle.
Then over at Cain's Ballroom, Chevelle and 30 Seconds to Mars were on a lineup with Pulse Ultra and Headroom. Pulse Ultra was nearing the end of their run.
Metal. Spoken word. Alt rock. Same week. Same crew.
That’s when it all started moving fast.
