Lookin' good!!!! Thanks PJ.

PJ

February 24, 2013

My pleasure, Gina. Actually we just added 3 more. An acoustic gig in Irwin in a few weeks and a few summertime gigs. Graze on, my peoples.

Gina (leather one)

February 22, 2013

Thanks PJ. I've been looking for updates, now I can go graze on them.

PJ

February 19, 2013

Hi Knob friends. We updated the calendar with a bunch of gigs in 2013. sorry for the delay. actually there really wasn't a delay; we just pretty much devoted all attention to our facebook page, which you should really check out. even if you don't have a page, you can still check out the band.

hope everyone is getting their fill of heavy liquor drinks and is enjoying their 2013. We know we are. :) CHEERS!

John, well, you know...mayhaps miss stephanie isn't a real woman. But it's clear she/he thinks you are a REAL man.

Johnny

December 14, 2012

Well Gina.... two things are abundantly clear to me
1. Stephanie has a real insight to what makes a man hot.
2. Stephanie may not be a real woman.
What say ye?

Gina (leather one)

December 10, 2012

haha, older dude, haha. John you still "got it"!!!

Stephanie

December 10, 2012

I saw your band at Four Points. You guys were great! I love the drummer....cute! But, I have to admit, the older dude singing..makes me wet! I love older men!

Gina - Are you planning on attending the show at the Polish Club the night before Thanksgiving???

Gina (leather one)

September 21, 2012

I was in attendance for the 8/26 show in Biddle. Wondrin Aloud, where you been?

Wondrin Aloud?

Where's Gina???????

Jimmy

September 11, 2012

Johnny - I spoke briefly with Dave about T-Giving Eve.....Should be a go!

Johnny

September 11, 2012

The Polish Club is always a great gig. Hopefully we can work a deal for Thanksgiving Eve.

Jimmy

September 6, 2012

Great show at the Polish Club last Sunday! Loved hearing "Heart in my Hand" CLASSIC!
Karla & I had a great time dancing!

Johnny i have a good idea. Maybe you should change the name of Biddlefest and disguise it as "Save the Serb Club Roof" fest. It looks like its in a state of decay. Then you could start another 20yr run.

Johnny

July 1, 2012

Walter, Walter, Walter.... will we agree on anything??? Once again you bring up some valid points. As far as Steelers Sunday, I gotta disagree the Club is a great place to watch the game. There are two TV's (paid for by Biddlefest money) AND a few tables along with the bar stools. It has a capacity, but what you said could apply to any place. I've been at houses where there were too many people. Unless you watch it at home, pretty much alone, you will never get the intimacy you seem to desire. As far as the foul mouthed Barmaids go, I think that's part of the charm. You see I enjoy the atmosphere there, but hey that's me. I also like Howard Stern, and some people think he's loud and foul mouthed. All I'm going to say about the "Ethnic" factor is currently the Serb Club is being run by Serbs with an agenda. If you ever run into me at the Club or Polish Club, or anywhere. Let me buy you a beer, and I'll tell you what I know to be true.

Walter Podslack

June 26, 2012

Thats a load of bull Mark. You could count the # of Italians at The Italian Club in Hahntown on one hand.

Mark

June 21, 2012

And another point Walter, I don't know about Biddle but Trafford Polish club has a large contingent of their own "ethnic" members. Same with the Italian club. So yes, there are plenty of ethnic clubs that are still thriving.

Mark

June 19, 2012

Hey Walter, maybe if the club is a lousy place to watch the games, then maybe club management (Serbs right?) should do something about it!!!! And maybe they should get rid of the foul mouth bartenders!! It's their club right?

Walter Podslack

June 18, 2012

Wait a minute Johnny. I highly doubt that the other clubs in the area. Ex. Polish and Italian club have any ethnic members left that support them. Thats a thing of the past. You act like Westmoreland City and Biddle is a huge Serbian community. About the Steeler games. The club is a lousy place to watch a sporting event. What are there about 6 bar seats and a loud foul mouthed bartender?? Who would blame someone for not watching Steeler games there.

A Fan

June 17, 2012

I see Joe Grushecky is playing outside at he Biddle Club, what gives??? Didn't someone pull a gun out at his last show? Guns are OK, but Biddlefest isn't? What's up with that?

Johnny

June 10, 2012

Walter... Actually there is some truth to your comments(BTW thanks for identifyiyng yourself)Biddlefest had pretty much reached the saturation point, that doesn't necessarily mean the plug should have been pulled. Especially given the fact that the police never once shut it down, and the crowd was well behaved. IE no complaints or arrests.
Liability was an issue, but there are risks involved in all commercial endeavors. The event went on for 20+ years, under the same set of circumstances, so why all of a sudden is liability a big issue?
Finally you may call them cheap shots, I call them obsevations. The Serbs aren't there to support the club when it's open for Steeler Sunday. The Serbs aren't there when the club is open on the weekends to spend a couple bucks. The club opens at 7:00PM would it kill them to come and buy a beer. The Serbs aren't there when a band plays, unless it's to collect the money at the door. However there are plenty of them there for the Christmas party. Ask the girls who work there about the generosity of the Serbs(LOL) Walter, if you think those are cheap shots, then so be it. Perception is truly reality. Again thanks for you time.

Jimmy

May 23, 2012

Biddlefest was fine when it was just beer being served. Then someone had the bright idea of selling whiskey..etc. That's when it started getting out of control. And, yes, it did become it's own entity...and too big for it's own britches.

Walter Podslack

May 21, 2012

I'm sorry i have to agree with NHT TWP. First off the place couldnt handle that amount of people period end of story !!!!! Second why do you keep taking shots a Serbs saying they are cheap and looking for a hand out. There was always trouble and it was getting worse every year. They don't want the liability. Who could blame them

Johnny

May 19, 2012

Dear NHT TWP
I don't recall anyone saying the Club would fold after the cancellation of Biddlefest. It's pretty obvious that your idea of "going strong" and my idea of "going strong" are a little different. Whatever succuess they have met is due primarily to the hard work of Mel Wedge, and the beer drinkers, and Hell raisers, that Biddlefest embodied. It has nothing to do with the nitwits who are currently running the place. It also has nothing to do with the Serbian community at large. Now if the club were giving away free stuff, you could probably count on the Serbs to respond. Think of the last Lodge picnic in September. There was a real money maker. Or how about the craft show in October, another extremely underwhelming event. I have an idea.... the club should have a lodge picnic for people with sleep diorders, if that event doesn't put them to sleep nothing will. The reality is the club was hurt financially by the cancellation of Biddlefest, all because a group of people with no real busines experience, or self-esteem for that matter had a "better idea"
so NHT TWP the next time you decide to post here at least have the personal dignity, and integrety to identify yourself. Don't worry..... it's free!

Jimmy..... Didn't have it this year. Alot Of reasons. The next time I see you I will explain.

Even thought I promised John I wouldn't break anything at his house, he still hasn't invited me to his annual Christmas Party!
It's all good....Merry Christmas All!!

That poem brings a smile to face every year--thanks I needed that.

Here's Jimmy's poem

The week before Christmas..(by Jimmy)
December 6, 2006

T’was the week before Christmas,
And all through Knobland
Jimmy was drinking,
Waiting for the band

When in walked Tammy,
And her friend Lois Twang
The band fired up
And the two Knobettes sang

Led Zep’s Rock n Roll
And Shelter by Stones
And people were dancing
And shaking their bones

With Steve on the Bass,
And Rick on the Lead,
Johnny was jamming,
Phil drummed with great Speed

Gina did shots,
Like they were going out of style,
Missy’s Liver kept up,
On the floor for a while.

When Eli walked in,
And said It’s too loud..
Then looked once around,
And said “Boy what a crowd’

The band it went crazy,
Everything was alright
Knob fans were rocking…
Late into the night

When I looked in the corner,
And saw Gina cry..
She said "somebody help me",
"The bar it went dry".

Jimmy said “Gina, please have no fear”
Just look in my stocking..
It’s full of beer!

So the party continued
And Christmas was here..
Have a great Christmas Season,
And Happy New Year!

Paul

December 6, 2011

It's that time of the year....will the guestbook coordinator please post the Knobs Christmas poem this year? The one about Gina doing shots in the corner of the Serb Club? Thanks!

November 2, 2011

Gina - Sorry I missed you at the Legion. I was looking for you....we didn't stay long. I had all my family at the Polish Club that night.

Gina (leather one)

October 27, 2011

I have my steampunk ready to go. See everyone around 8:30 or so.

Jimmy

October 27, 2011

I will be unable to judge, since I will be in costume also. If it doesn't fit me, I will just smoke it!

Tammy

October 24, 2011

If we're nice to Jimmy, what can we win?

Gina (leather one)

October 18, 2011

Jimmy, I don't enter costume contests. My "costumes" are generally period garb. Not fair to the others. You'll see.

Jimmy

October 18, 2011

Gina - Be nice to me....there's a good chance I will be judging the costumes!

Gina (leather one)

October 18, 2011

PJ, thank you!

pj

October 17, 2011

I know you already got my answer, Gin. But for everyone else:

The Knobs will play their usual time of 9:30 to 1:30....there are some little fun things planned such as Knobbing for Apples, 50/50, Costume contests, etc etc. So i would say any time after 8pm would be safe. Cheers!

Gina (leather one)

October 17, 2011

What time does the Halloween party start? I'm seeing 3 different times! 7ish, 8:00, and 9:30. Should I pick a number between 7ish and 9:30??

Johnny

October 7, 2011

BTW 4/20 is also Adolph Hitler's birthday.

Tammy

October 7, 2011

It's a possibility . . .I've thinking about costumes in case I can make it.

Ricknob

October 6, 2011

Gina, I remember one occasion when I was told that I didn't miss anything. I think we were playing Sleepy Hollow. BTW, the restoration of the Hollow seems to be coming along nicely. I hope they continue to have live music.

Sorry Jimmy. I'm angry at numbers... there's too many of them.
Blazing at 4:20 seems like a good way to get fired!

The Knobs are excited to play the Halloween Party. I think my disguise will be Zombie related.

Tammy, can you come?

Jimmy

October 6, 2011

4:20 - First off, Ricknob...it would be April, not May...and 4:20 is the time when everyone is supposed to "burn one"...some college students in California (go figure) thought of this brilliance. Brilliant, I say! Just Brilliant! On a lighter note, I cannot reveal my costume, then everyone will know it's me.

Gina (leather one)

October 6, 2011

Tammy, thanks for explaining the "shoe" thing.

R.K. I've been to several of your shows over the years, perhaps you were better off looking at your shoes!

And I can't think of what Jimmy meant.

But I am looking forward to your Halloween party gig. I haven't been to a Knobs event in some time.

Ricknob

October 6, 2011

That's right Tammy, but it's no joke to me. If a girl is going to go to all that trouble, I think she deserves an attentive audience. I would hate to insult.

Jimmy is probably reminding himself of the time. Or perhaps a passage from the bible. Or maybe May 20th is a date of some importance. Jimmy?

Tammy

October 5, 2011

Gina, It's been a longstanding joke w/the Knobs that whenever anything exciting happens out on the dance floor or anywhere in the venue we're playing, specifically when a girl decides to bare body parts that are generally covered up in public, Rick misses it because he's looking at his shoes. Hence, he's planning to rig up a mirror to his shoes so he doesn't miss anything.

As for Jimmy, I'm not exactly sure what he's up to but it has something to do w/an herb that isn't legal but should be.

Gina (leather one)

October 3, 2011

OK, I must admit, I have no idea what anyone is talking about.

I am talking about a halloween costume...

Jimmy

October 3, 2011

Ricknob

October 1, 2011

I'm gonna hafta duct tape my passenger side mirror to the top of my left shoe. Give me something new to look at, if you're following the way I'm drifting. "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear"

Johnny

October 1, 2011

"Rawking the Steampunk" methinks that may be Victorian slang for "Spanking the Monkey, or perhaps "Bashing the Bishop"

Ricknob

September 30, 2011

I do feel a disturbance... Me thinks it has something to do with trying to avoid questions about M'lady's assets and the size thereof.

Tammy

September 30, 2011

Rick--"bustle in your hedgerow" is exactly what I was thinking! And I know you won't be looking at any of the ladies' Halloween costumes--you'll be looking at your shoes!

Gina (leather one)

September 29, 2011

Bustle, or noise or activity, used in this sense, means a disturbance close to home. Something's happening in your world

Right on!!!

Ricknob

September 29, 2011

I see a bustle in your hedgerow... I know that's what Tammy's thinking!

Gina (leather one)

September 29, 2011

Nah, R.K. I'm rawking the Steampunk. It is Victorian ya know. Does this bustle make my assets look big??

Ricknob

September 29, 2011

Tammy, you and Gina can uncover all you want, I'm keeping my shirt on! :) Hey! You could come to the Halloween party as Lady Godiva and Gina could come as Eve! I promise not to look...

Beavis

September 28, 2011

Gina's assets....eh eh eh eh....

Linny Baughman

September 27, 2011

I'm not doing an event at all. I just wanted to see if you guys would be willing to play and sing something with me. I will record myself doing a song by the knobs if you would like. I don't know if i can find a microphone in our house though. If there is a knobs song you would like me to sing inperticular let me know.

Gina (leather one)

September 27, 2011

Tammy, I like the way you think. Sure I'll lend some!!

Tammy

September 27, 2011

Gina--never cover up what God gave you! But umm, if you have extra, could you lend some to me?

Gina (leather one)

September 27, 2011

John, a man of the cloth is a good choice. My considerable assets have become more considerable lately. I should really keep them covered, so as not to frighten anyone!

Johnny

September 27, 2011

First off to Linny: Are you playing at some event you want me to participate with you? I'm unsure what we're doing. Personally I would like to hear you interpert a Knobs tune with me backing you up. Let me know what you want me to do.
Gina: Yes, Gina I'm aware of your continuing love affair with the Ren-Faire. I have observed your costumes over the years. I'm just thinking you may want to step out of the box this year, and emphasive your considerable assets. As for myself, given my on going affinity to all that is spiritual, I may be going as a man of the cloth. Really, it's only fitting, don't you think?

Gina (leather one)

September 26, 2011

John, as you know, I've been a Ren Faire slave for many years. Hence many, many costumes and accessories. What are you going to wear?

Linny Baughman

September 25, 2011

If you want to do a cover i could i suggest Blur Collard Man by Styx?

Linny Baughman

September 24, 2011

Johnny either a song that has already been written by you that has already been played, a song that you have been writing, or even a cover song will work. :) That's if you would like to do a duet.

Johnny

September 24, 2011

Well Linny let me know what you're thinkin'
DRJ... Nice Doors reference. Did you know that song was banned from the radio back in the because it was about Vietnam.
Gina... all this talk about your costumes is making my head spin. I have a couple of my own ideas. Of course only if you're interested!

Gina (leather one)

September 23, 2011

DRJ: Now I'm going to consider wearing my long sword and baldric.

Da Rodneys Jim - My real name is James L Blazowich - a.k.a. JBRD

September 23, 2011

Rick, why bring a toy when you should be carrying the real thing considering you'll be just blocks away from the crime ridden area of Biddle Village! The theme song for the night should be......Five to one baby, one in five, no one here gets, out alive!!

Gina (leather one)

September 23, 2011

R.K. OK Steampunk it is! My weapons are real, so I will leave them at home.

Ricknob

September 23, 2011

All good ideas, Gina, but my vote is Steampunk!
I'm probably going to have a sawed off shotgun (toy of course) in a scabbard, also tied.

Linny Baughman

September 22, 2011

Hey i know this is random and maybe odd but........ um..... i was wondering if johnny would like to or want to sing one of the songs that he wrote..... i like your songs and i was wondering if we could do a duet or something.

*another random comment* MY BROTHER IS LEARNING TO ROCK!!!

NHT

September 22, 2011

The reason there are no Serbs is because most of them have died off !! It hasnt had a Serb clientele for years. This thing about saving the club is a joke. Let it fold , there are plenty of other places to go. The Christmas party free give away ?? What do they get for free a piece of ham and a plate of haluski ? I think most Christmas Parties give away some free stuff.

Gina (leather one)

September 22, 2011

RK, hmmmmm. I have plenty of options:
Lolita Pirate
Steampunk
Renaissance Wench

How to decide? Hey I do have a question. Will the Legion allow me to wear a sheathed weapon? Like a dagger or short sword? Peace tied of course.

Nah, Jimmy, you are THE blast from the past!

Jimmy

September 22, 2011

Did someone say Gina? There's a blast from the past......

Ricknob

September 21, 2011

Hey Gina, the Halloween Party at the Manor Legion is going to be a blast! Have you decided on a costume?

MGT

September 21, 2011

NHT...Well we're not surprised you don't understand our comment. Go to the club Christmas Party and see whose getting free stuff. The club is open every Sunday for Steeler games. No Serbs. The club opens every Friday and Saturday at 7:00 PM plenty early, and way before the White Trash shows up. Again no Serbs. We never said the Police were never called. We said there were no arrests and it was never shut down. As far as it being "out of control" and "too big", well that's an opinion NOT a fact. There's a Serb picnic on Sunday. Hopefully it will do better than the other picnics this year. We'll see. Only time will tell, but I suspect the Club needs Biddlefest alot more than the the event needs the club. Now please if you have a fact, we'd love to hear it, if not go spend some money down there, because without Biddlefest, they are going to need it.

Gina (leather one)

September 21, 2011

OOOO, the Halloween Party looks fun...ish.

NHT

September 20, 2011

Hey Mgt. your statement makes no sense. Who are these so called Serbs that get something for nothing?? What are the so called events that give away stuff for nothing? The fact is that the place cant handle that amt. of people and was getting out of control especially in a Residential Area. There was plenty of trouble there and the police were called there numerous times.

Mgt

September 20, 2011

NHT... The fact that you didn't reveal yourself or list the any of the so called "cheap shots' speaks volumes as to your credibilty. The white trash comment is partially true. It was deemed by the board that there was too much white trash. Considering in 21 years there was never an arrest, or a request from the police to stop, that statement would be laughable, if it wasn't so pathetic. The Serbs always show up there when the're getting something for nothing. The key is getting them there when they actually have to pay for stuff.

Jr. Mgmt.

September 19, 2011

Calendar page updated. Put Biddle on the shelf for a minute, and get yourself some gigs, ya hear? Let's think Halloween for a minute.

NHT

September 19, 2011

Hey WTF first off there aren't any Serbian People left at the club anymore so quit taking cheapshots at Serbs you bum !!! Its the white trash that shut the Biddlefest Down. They ruined it for everyone.

Ricknob

September 17, 2011

Listen now....
There ain't nothin' wrong wid a little bit o' Biddle
As a matter of fact it's just the opposital.
There is no left or right there, why, it's right down the middle,
and it's the place you can count on for a musical acquital.
Oh yea, you're right about the decor and the lack of vittles.
As well as the unattractive rooms where you go to piddle.
But there ain't nothin' wrong wid a little bit o' Biddle.
If this was an auction and up for bid was a little bit o' Biddle.
I'd have no problem placing a bid on a little bit o' Biddle.
Neither would hey diddle diddle and the cat or the fiddle.
And God forbid, if ever someone wanted to enlarge a little bit of Biddle,
I know people who'd help me fight to keep it just a little bit o' Biddle.
Hey.. someone pass that thing over here.

Penned by the late, great Phil Falcocchio, in the before time, when people smiled on their brothers and sisters, and had all sorts of party fun at the Biddlefest. Now, there is a pestilence upon Biddle. Sad times indeed.

Da Rodneys Jim

September 10, 2011

Where will it lead?
And also, if I haven't made it clear already, I want to let The Knobs know that if there is anything I can do to be of assistance in putting some sort of "biddlefest" back together again for next year and many years to come, then please don't hesitate to contact me. I'd be more than happy to help out anyway I can.
Knobs 4 Life!

Johnny

September 10, 2011

Yes, WTF, the Serbian hierarchy, in their infinte wisdom, at the Lodge in Biddle, have deemed they would be better off WITHOUT Biddlefest. Personally I don't understand the logic, but I'm not breathing the rarified air at the top of the Lodge food chain. Only time will tell if this was a good decision, or a classic blunder like Hitler invading Russia, or launching the "New" Coke. Honestly though, I think I know where this will lead.
