Hey all,
I'm surprisingly up beat about this blog though its the "end" of what you and I've come to know over the past 4 yrs. Originally when I started this "solo" thing it was just a way for me to write things that didn't fit into any sort of "mold" that'd I'd been put into (or put myself into). I wanted to write whatever came outta my "fractured little mind" and I accomplished that and SO much more. And I'm so very glad I did it and I've got some fond memories to look back on over this period of my life...just like with Cherry Bang. Though things were tough sometimes and I was down a lot.. the highs were so VERY high and the lows were ...well.. they were low. I just really want to sincerely take a second and thank you ALL so very much for supporting this crazy lil endevour for so long and ALWAYS being around when I needed cheering up. Right now I'd like to say a few things to a certain few people then I'll get back to the "Main point" of all this.. bare with me.
Steve Simon - Bro you came outta Bang with me into this crazy thing and lasted as long as you could. You've always been and will always be one of my closest friends though we want to kill each other from time to time. I love ya dearly man and I honestly don't know what I'd do without you in my corner cheering me on. Thanks!
Heater - You, Like Steve came from bang and continued being super roadie and put up with me and my primma donna ass for far too long! haha. I've known you the longest of anyone and we've been thru more than most people ever see in a lifetime.. and ours just started in High School. You're truly the goods bro don't EVER change!
LA Wayne - You came in an blew me away with your rhythm and voice. You rocked some Bon Jovi which landed you the gig! hahaha. You're a hell of a bassist..a lil too concerned about money (unless its 1 Bad Boys HAHAHa) but you're a great musician. Wish you NOTHING but the best.
Z - you lil shit. You're like one of my own man. I hope in SOME way you've learned a thing or two from me cause you're just starting out in this business. I expect... no. I DEMAND great things to come from you. Thanks for always helping out in a pinch.
Kevin - you came in and played a style of music that you honestly really don't care for. You did it because you're a FRIEND and you want to better yourself all around. Do not EVER hesistate to call me if you need something man. I wish you the best of luck out at P.I.T. and I know you'll reach your goals...don't move back here... Nashville/LA/New York are your options.. I don't ever wanna see your face again unless one of us is on tour! hahahaha.
Ray A. - Bro we STILL talk and laugh about shit that most people would be angry about. I'm so stoked to hear you're doing well here though I know you'd rather pack it up and head to Sactown... I'll see you very shortly for those drinks!
Jem - I love you doll. You're literally THE rocker chick that everyone wishes they could be. Your undying love for all things music truly does inspire me and makes me realize that some things should just be laughed about while continuing on my merry way. Thanks SO much for supporting and talkin me off the ledge when needed.
Liquid Shane-o - you non driving, non night vision havin mutha fucka! You tried to KILL us! hahaha. You're a good ass dude man. You know you're like a little brother to me and if you need advice or just someone to drink too much wine with.. all you need to do is call. I've got your back anytime...well I may be late cause my car won't start.. or I won't have gas money or something.. but eventually.. I'll be there! hahaha. I kid I kid.. just giving ya shit dude. See ya soon.
Britt - you crazy lil elf. You've go so far and beyond so many times. I don't think I could ever thank you enough for EVERYTHING you've done. There's not a dollar amount on earth... Just know that I've ALWAYS appreciated everything you've done more than I probably ever expressed in words...I write songs.. I don't do well with talking.. you know that. But you're truly the best and one of my best friends now.. hope that never changes. Thanks for EVERYTHING Brikhouse Designs RULES fool's.. better go request her.. my top friends! She does awesome work.
Justin fuckin Paris... My best friend, my partner in crime, my wonder twin.. playing shows without you fucking SUCKS! hahaha. I mean yea we sound better without you but you make ME laugh and lets face it.. that's what its all about! hahaha. I truly wish you nothing but happiness man. I know why you needed to walk away and I respect the hell outta you for it..cause I tried and Just when I thought I was out... they pulled me back in! ha. Soon though...soon. You know.. I know... soon.
Now I'm going to say a few thanks to some bands...
Cinder Road, You guys are amazing. I could only DREAM of having the sort of success (and by success I mean tour schedule hahahah) that you guys have! Mike, dude thanks for EVERYTHING man. You're a good friend and I look forward to some touring with you VERY soon.
P. Jones - You drunk mutha fucka's! What can I say about you guys other than .. when's the next tour? hahaha. I feel like I've honestly made some good friends with you guys and wish you continued success with what you're doing. We'll have to hit it again soon.
Smalltown Sleeper - Troy you bastard! hahaha. You write great songs man.. I love your damn band and have since you opened for that Poison tribute I was singing for. Your cd's stay in rotation and I'm stoked to see how well you're doing for yourselves right now! Keep up the great work!
Lovesick Radio - DJ you in shape fool! haha. I've always dug you man you're a super nice guy..even back in the green sky/bang days.. though we had a "falling out" over an interview/blog that didn't happen lol. I still think your eddie money cover and boys don't matter are two of the best pop songs I've heard in a long time. Continued success for you guys... Buzz a mutha fucker sometime.
And last but not least..
David... the super photographer from hell. For those of you who don't know this guy took SO many of the pictures you see of me and the guys on the sites. You're an awesome photog and I hope you're doing well up there in columbus man. Call me anytime!
With all that said.. here it comes..
The LAST 2 "Billy Carri" shows with the full band will be Aug 21st at Dirty Jacks in cincy with Adam Marsland and his chaos band from Cali.. And Sept 4th with By All Means Necessary at Dirty Jacks. Both are thursday shows BUT they were booked before I decided..this was it. We're NOT playing last (right jem) so come out and have a few drinks with me and say goodbye to this chapter in my life.
There's a new project in the works...don't worry I'm not done.
if I could only get Paris off my back.......
I love you all (so ozzy, but so serious)
Carri
