VIII Days Clean

Starting June 16, 2010 Every Wednesday we will be headlining “Rockers in Recovery” bands that do great music and carry the message of hope like many artists of old and new are doing each day. “Rockers in Recovery” is a show to hear new releases or to hear what bands or musicians in recovery have been up to. This hour is dedicated to news and interviews in the rock and roll industry and the world of recovering bands or musicians.

We look forward to having a great line up each week:

On June 16, 2010 at 10PM EDT we have Ate DaysClean

Somewhere between heavy metal, 90’s grunge and the blues, exists VIII DAYS CLEAN. Four guys who were once homeless, drug-addicted, alcoholics VIII DAYS CLEAN have proven that anything is possible. The band draws influences from a tradition of Northwest rockers that includes bands like Alice in Chains and (other big band). Other influences include Danzig, Nine Inch Nails, The Cult and Marilyn Manson.

“VIII DAYS CLEAN’S new album, Angels of Nothing, is dark, disturbing and utterly brilliant”.

Ricky Byrd Bio:

Lotta dues Jim, Lotta dues

That’s a line from a play about Lenny Bruce, and man oh man ain’t that the truth!!

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining! I’ve had an unbelievable career so far and I’m very grateful.

Imagine a 13 year old sitting in his bedroom with his first guitar that “almost” stays in tune. He’s dreaming big dreams, hoping someday……you know the rest!

Well I got my wish. I’ve traveled the world with Joan Jett and The Blackhearts, had a couple of hit records and played guitar for two of my favorites–Roger Daltrey and Ian Hunter. I’ve also had the damn good fortune to have shared a stage with everyone from Jimmy Page, Leslie West, Steve Marriott to Rufus Thomas (I got to “Walk the Dog”)

I’ve had artists who I love and respect cover songs I’ve written ,and even got to decorate a wall in Byrdland with a few gold and platinum records.

Nice huh?

Problem is I’m not the kind that can rest on my laurels (you know how painful that can be!).

This is now and now I’m a solo artist–playing my songs, making my music and fighting my battles!

To be honest I’m feeling a little punchy from all the fighting.

But I promise you this…they’’ll have to carry me out of the ring still swingin’ and still singin’.

Let’s face it the music business (what’s left of it) is not for the faint of heart. it can break your spirit and leave you bitter.”It was you Charlie…you shoulda watched out for me. I coulda been a contender!”

Sorry, I had a Brando moment!.

Anyway as the saying goes… you buttered your bread now you gotta sleep in it…or something like that.

Where was I? Oh yeah

These days I have no illusions or expectations other than making the coolest music I can and have fun doing it.

So keep your eyes and ears open cause sooner or later I’ll be coming to your town. It might be a stadium,a theatre,a club or maybe even a coffeehouse, but you can bet the farm I’ll have a big ass grin on my face and be happy to be there.

See you in the trenches, Ricky
