Full Throttle Proprietor Michael Ballard releases statement following fire that burns iconic saloon to the ground

September 9, 2015

Full Throttle Saloon has captured the hearts of many over the past couple decades and has known as the World’s Biggest Biker Bar. Proprietor Michael Ballard created the saloon in Sturgis and would host thousands upon thousands of bikers who traveled to Sturgis, SD and became known for the show Full Throttle Saloon. Michael Ballard offers the following statement: “Over the last two decades, The Full Throttle Saloon has been the epicenter of my life.  Walking the grounds following this tragedy is simply devastating.  We created a destination that resonated with working class America, and became over time a landmark for this great town which is Sturgis.  Over the last several years, I’ve taken the success of the Full Throttle and made a significant investment in rebuilding my hometown of Trimble, Tennessee (where the Full Throttle S’loonshine distillery is based). Because of that large financial investment I am not in a position to just start rebuilding today. Right now I have to process what has happened and then figure out the future. As our plans [Read More]

Our Aftershock Spotlight Band is Eagles of Death Metal

September 4, 2015

Today our Aftershock Spotlight Band is the Eagles of Death Metal.  I have heard people erroneously ask me to check out the new band Eagles of Death Metal. I then proceed to tell them about their history and how they formed over 15 years ago and of course, welcome them in to the EODM world and turn them on to all of their three albums. They always wish they knew them sooner but I am just glad that they know appreciate all the bad ass rockin tunes these guys have been delivering for years.  They are set to release their fourth album, Zipper Down on October 2nd. Check out a teaser video for it: Many might be familiar with Joshua from his work with Queens of the Stone Age but I remember when Joshua worked with another of my fave bands, Screaming Trees in the late 90’s.
