Flash back to the release of” Saturation” by Urge Overkill. This Album included the track “Sister Havana” which was developing nicely at Radio and before the cover of Neil Diamonds “Girl you’ll be a woman soon” was included on the Pulp Fiction soundtrack which became a huge hit for them. The band was asked to be on the Bill with Pearl Jam and Mud honey for a North American tour. I’d met Nash, Eddie and Blackie a few times including Chicago. The radio promoter asked me about helping set up a promotion on that tour stop in Reno, NV. where they were performing at the Lawlor Event Center on the University of Reno campus. The promotion we were running in conjunction with Radio and Retail; was an Enter to win Contest for the Best Martini mixing bartender in Reno. Judges would be a handful of winners, and Urge Overkill band members. Bartenders were chosen in a contest at Radio. Judges were chosen in a contest at Retail. Spectators and non winners were encouraged to hang in the bar and cheer them on. Only in Reno! Anyway, the night wore on, everyone was getting pretty crazy…little did anyone know, that we had gear set up on the small stage in the bar for the band to perform a song or two, if they wanted to. Mid way through the party a Tour bus pulls up in front and out jumps Eddie V, Stone, Jeff and Mike who had heard about the promotion and all wanted to get in on the Judging…so the bartenders continued to mix, bands continued to drink and a winner was chosen! Late into the night Eddie V is cajoled up onto the small little stage with Nash and Jeff. The boys break into an acoustic version on “Horse with no name” and a few other jems. We hung out late into the night with both bands chatting, and laughing into a hangover the next day.
