A partial verdict is in and it is a
good one if you are an 8BALL CHAOS fan.
The website, launched earlier this month, seems to be a huge hit with
America. In the wake of all that has
happened to this band over the past month, it is amazing that they are still
out there. And out there they are. “There shows are great, the music is
great, and the web site kicks major ass,” says one fan at a recent show,
prior the accident. One gentleman
outside a local bar the band frequents said, “I’ll never understand why these
guys aren’t headlining the big tours or at least opening for some of today’s
best acts, like maybe Brittany Spears or someone like that.” When asked if he ever actually heard the
band before, he said no but he was sure they were good. Two fans in particular, Gary and David,
we very excited to see that the band was successful. “We have been following the band since
back in the day. We hop in our car
all the time and go where they go.
The shows are like family reunions for us,” says Gary. “Ever since my half sister overdosed and
died and my older brother went to jail,” Gary continued, “I have had no one
but David, his car, and 8BALL CHAOS.”
David was not as verbal about his opinions but you could see he was
very happy about the success of the band also. “I like all the chicks at the shows. They make me happy,” David exclaimed. We all do David, we all do. (click here to see a picture of Gary and David –

increased two fold since the accident.
They have received twice the traffic and have had to create a new
guest book to accommodate all the hits.
A spokesperson for the band said, “We are real happy with the
progress. The next step is our big
interview with Kurt Loder of MTV fame.
Have you ever heard of him?” I
hadn’t but I told her that I did so that not to make waves. This is my first article for the boys
in 8BALL and I would just like to say thank you to them for their generosity
in giving me my break in journalism and also I need that $100 you guys
borrowed from me. |
