Growing Up Fighting: Bakersfield Hockey Vol. 1 closer to reality - By N.L. Belardes
I’m inching closer to releasing Growing Up Fighting: Bakersfield Hockey Vol. 1. This has been a crazy yet rewarding experience. Bakersfield bands have been very supportive of the project and each other. A few of the bands didn’t record their songs but are still performing at the Rabobank. That means I’m already going to have a few songs for Volume Two for the following season! Oh yes! Well, if we can sell any of this CD then we will have a second volume, I should add. If folks refuse to buy the product then Bakersfield Hockey Culture will only have one CD of cool hockey songs… but I’m hoping for two, possibly three. Be optimistic I say.

I’m having fun putting the songs in their final order.
Of course I can’t decide and keep fidgeting about whether the CD should start with Bobblehead or Condorstown. Here’s the order I have right now in my player. I’m kind of digging the flow:
Bobblehead - Rocky Nash
Condorstown - The Filthies
Let’s Go Score a Goal - Fatt Katt and the Vonzippers
Born to Fight - Myndsick
Zebras -Dirty Spanglish
Zamboni Zombie - Three Chord Whore
Hat Trick - King Mark and Friends
Condors Fight Song - Fatt Katt and the Vonzippers
Hockey Hangover - Rocky Nash
Birds of Prey - The KooKooNauts
Penalty Box - Gramercy Riff
Time to Fight - Exithead
Power Play - Heath Dobbler and the Red Head Explosion
All or Nothing - Soul Damage
Drunken Hockey Fight - Whiskey Galore

Get you some, now, Condors...!
Thanks to all the bands for participating and their fans for attending Condors games. Don't forget, this Saturday night is one of the biggest Condors games you will ever see. It's the annual Teddy Bear toss game and should pack at least 8000 into the Rabobank. My Dysfuntional Me will be performing a song I wrote called "I Hit an NHL Star" inspired by last year's boycott and the Condors smashing of Scott Gomez of the Alaska Aces... Now get off your ass and buy some tickets to the game from nlbelardes.com at discount group prices. Then go buy a Teddy Bear to throw onto the ice! It's way coooooool....
A final thanks to the Condors who appear on "Zamboni Zombie" and "Let's Go Score a Goal"...
