Electric Touch Play the Knitting Factory on Saturday, November 8th

Austin's Electric Touch seems to have lived on the road this year. The band played Lollapalooza, SXSW, and just finished a tour with The Fratellis.

The band is currently playing a string of dates at Hard Rock Cafes across the Nation in support of the Breast Cancer Awareness Month and to help raise money for the cure.

The band is playing the Tap Bar @ the Knitting Factory on Saturday with San Francisco's Von Iva. Tickets are $10.

Electric Touch released their self-titled debut CD (on Justice Records) earlier this year and there are a number of tracks from this release streaming on the band's MySpace page. Check out this live video of the band covering Tom Petty's "American Girl".

Would you play $60 to see Ace Frehley?

I am a huge Ace Frehley fan but the idea of playing $60 to see him play Eddie Trunk's Halloween Bash is kind of crazy.






Does Ace Frehley really have a bigger audience than Skid Row (who played Eddie Trunk's show for free last year) or Overkill (who I think played free the year before)?

For anyone who doesn't know what I am talking about...Ace Frehley is headlining Eddie Trunk's Halloween Bash at Hard Rock Cafe on Halloween night. The last few years, admission was free but you had to win the tickets from Eddie (which never seemed to be a problem). This year -- the show is $60.

Eddie/Ace -- I wish you well but I am going to find somewhere else to be on Halloween night. Bring on some special guests (Vito Bratta would be my first suggestion) and you might get my interest back...
