GUEST BLOG: SKELETONWITCH’S SCOTT “SCUNTY D” HEDRICK

1/29/08 Salt Lake City, Utah


We’re out of the gutter and back in the gold…well, not so much gold, but we’re playing fucking shows again and that’s good enough for us!! After the horrible cancelation in Spokane, Washington, we made it to the next show in Boise, Idaho. Unfortunately Job for a Cowboy still had problems fixing their van and trailer after wrecking in a ditch, and couldn’t make the show. Thanks to everyone in Boise for a killer show!! A special hail to the dudes in the Knights of Valhalla!!! Great to meet you, brothers!

Old man winter has finally started to take his toll on us. I woke up in the back bunk of our stink-wagon with my pillow literally frozen to the window, and we collectively woke up sick. Vocalist Chance Garnett is particularly fucked up so we scheduled an impromptu doctor visit to get him meds. Evidently his own herbal treatments were not cutting it! It turns out that he has the flu—though luckily not the shitting-your-pants, puking-yourself strain. We also learned that there is a new test where the doctor jams a long stick up your fucking nose until he touches your brain, runs a couple of tests on said stick, and then determines whether or not you have the flu. It was a great day for Chance! Regardless, we ended up having a killer show in Salt Lake City.

Unfortunately I have to sign off to do some bullshit. I realize that this post is a bit lackluster so I’ll end it with some ridiculous Skeletonwitch tour photos that are entirely irrelevant.

Have you ever seen that YouTube video of Lamb of God getting into fisticuffs? That’s pussy shit!

Little known fact about Skeletonwitch: We love kitties, and they love our merch!

Fuck this!!!! Nate gets tired of driving the van and finds a new ride.

Nate and black-metal maven Blake from Nachtmystium. This ruins Blake’s credibility on so many levels. To name just a few: Blake is actually out in the daylight! (Daylight is not necro-grim!) Secondly, he’s only holding those cigarettes to look cool. (We love you Blake!!)

This is what the doctor prescribed for Chance’s flu. Notice how stoked he is about the treatment.

Scunty prefers the indoor course—and lots of whiskey!

Mullet Chad’s amazing hair…seamlessly blending emo and crust-punk. Rawk!!
