"I had the opportunity to swing by TBC Hot Rods and Bikes in Fayetteville, NC and check out the shop. Every month the guys at the shop pool their funds together to bring in a band, food, and drinks for "Garage Night". It is something that really gives back to the automotive community in Fayetteville which is what it is all about. Tim Bradham is one of the nicest people you will meet and is a master fabricator. He creates a lot of things out of raw materials and it is amazing to see something start from nothing.

For those of ya who don't know about the Road Devils Car Club and one of it's chapters called the Devil's Brigade which is made up of Veterans and active duty soldiers. Here is some footage of our good buddy Jefe on missions in Afghanistan and from our race across country earlier this year to Viva Las Vegas. Not only does he and the rest of the Devils Brigade put their lives on the line voluntarily for this country, he is a damn good friend of ours and we are always conjuring up some kind of shenanigans to get into. This is a rough draft clip he put together for the upcoming Road Devils DVD entitled the "Road To Recovery". The DVD will show the double
life of Hot Rodders who transition back and forth from War to Home and
use Hot Rods as an outlet.

Ohio brethren, the one and only Porkchop of the Road Devils will be hosting his annual bash on Saturday, October 15th. Do yourself a favor and get out to one great event.
Thanks to Jefe of the Road Devils for posting up the footage from this years Heavy Rebel in Winston-Salem, NC. Once again it was another great fest and lookin' forward to 2012 but rollin' up in our '51 Chevy Shop Truck.
Dearest friends, miscreants and scumbags, for those of you about to rock, please don't forget your cameras, cell phones or whatever it takes to send in images and video from past and present shows. We and the bands need your support to help keep the flame lit for this underground scene we call home. Huge shout out to Tams Higgins for mailing in a usb drive with footage of Flat Tires, Hellbound Glory and Ronnie Hymes jamming with JB Beverley. We will post as much as we can and put up the best footage.
Sound sometimes doesn't turn out due to cameras small microphone, which allows all the tones to sound like mud. If ya really want the right sound from live shows, ask Mr. Soundman to give you a feed from the main sound board and put it on disc or usb drive. You might have to buy him/her a few drinks but it will be worth it and we will reward your good deeds. Also, the show in which the imagery stems from was a big show put on by our good pals over in the Road Devils Car Club. Pat Brown went out of his way to put on one hell of a shindig so we can't thank him enough along with the folks in Justified Defiance and LedSled Customs for rollin' over to the show.

Fan dedication comes in many forms. It could be going out to shows, buying cds, buying a tshirt to support a band or just getting back to basics. Yep, you got it, sending over "naked" photos of yourself proclaiming who is your favorite band is also a dedicated and age old way to get folks to listen. Clint and the fellas in Flat Tires are enlisting legions of new members into their army, so ladies the sign up sheet will be at their merch table nightly. Get out to their shows and especially the one this weekend in Fayetteville to witness one hell of a party about to take shape for the Road To Recovery. Rory Kelly & Triple Threat, Octane Saints and Flat Tires will be playing the Black Cat as the launch party for two weeks on the road.
What you are seeing here is the recently finished Coupe that will be tearing up the roads all the way to Vegas in April. Yours truly will be riding shotgun and after the initial test ride the other day I can attest, its loud and damn if it ain't comfortable. With the chassis by Tim Bradham Chassis Works its a certifiable race car and ready for two thousand miles of abuse to Vegas and then another two thousand back. All this effort will be for the Task Force Dagger Foundation to help wounded combat soldiers to ultimately help raise money and awareness for the armed forces. More details on benefit shows to come and details about the trip, stay tuned.
The Devil's Brigade Chapter of The Road Devils Car Club has teamed up with Task Force Dagger, Rusty Knuckles, Gangster Billy and many more local busineses from the East Coast to bring you on the "Road to Recovery" to help Combat Wounded Veterans and their families get back on there feet after a loved one has suffered severe wounds in battle. The Devils Brigade will be driving to "Viva Las Vegas 14" and raising money along the way while filming a documentary about soldiers and how they use hot rodding as therapy after returning from combat. You will see what "COMRADERIE" really means in a Car Club of combat hardened veterans. You will also see behind the scenes footage of the builds and life at Tim Bradham's shop right here in Fatalville, North Carolina, or as we call it NOCAR. The song on the clip is "Arson" by Demon City Wreckers. RIP Jason Mashburn...
