Sweatin’ Bullets

admin — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 13:41:55 +0000

Sweatin’ Bullets is a rock and roll band located in North Carolina. They play alternative and Classic rock music. The band consists of Curtis Hammond on Vocals/ rhythm guitar, Chuck Haigler on lead guitar and background vocals, Rick Rosetti on drums and vocals and Jeff Rainwater on bass guitar. Our strength is in the high energy setlist that gets the crowd on their feet dancing and singing along to a mixture of classic rock, 80s rock, 90′s alternative hits and current music of today by such artists as Nickelback, 3 Doors Down, Buckcherry, Sublime, Staind, Theory of a Deadman, Kid Rock, Limp Bizkit, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Drowning Pool, Disturbed, Velvet Revolver as well as classics like AC/DC, Van Halen, Def Leppard, Creed, Rage Against The Machine, STP, Bryan Adams, Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and more. Add to this a penchant for throwing in a little Tone Loc, Beastie Boys, Wildcherry, Cameo, Los Lonely Boyz and Stevie Ray Vaughn and you get an infectious evening of danceable rock and roll hits that the club patrons enjoy and never get tired of hearing.

Sweatin’ Bullets began several years ago in Gastonia, NC and played several gigs with a different lineup.

Upon answering an ad for a lead singer position, Curtis Hammond joined the lineup and brought along with him former Wax Gurus bandmate, Chuck Haigler and the talented and energetic, Rick Rosetti playing drums. Rick has many years of experience and provides background vocals as well. This new dynamic lineup has taken over and brought new life to the Sweatin’ Bullets band. For the past three years the group has consistently provided great live performances at clubs throughout the Charlotte area and have developed a following of supporters who enjoy the energy and playlist that appeals to the new younger crowds as well as the classic rock crowds.

It is this unique ability to integrate dance and rock into an fun filled exploration of styles that gives Sweatin’ Bullets an edge. The band is able to cover such a wide variety of styles due to the great musicianship of its players and attention to detail that makes them so special.

Carbonara

admin — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 13:03:02 +0000

Unabashedly decadent, pasta carbonara is a simple dish. Like many classic dishes, it’s elegant in its concept – bacon, eggs and pasta are tossed with great cheese to produce a final result that is over-the-top delicious. Best of all is that it is quick and easy to prepare.

Because there are relatively few ingredients, the quality of each is important. Stick with good bacon and cheese, and anyone to whom you serve this will fall immediately under your power. Perfect for date night…

Ingredients

• 12 slices thick-cut bacon, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, halved
• 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
• 1 lb spaghetti
• 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan
• ¾ cup freshly grated pecorino
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Preparation

1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, and cook spaghetti according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon, garlic and rosemary until bacon is crisp.
3. Discard the garlic. Remove from the heat, and pull out about a quarter cup of the bacon to garnish.
4. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, cheeses, parsley and 1 teaspoon pepper. Drain the pasta, reserving 1/4 cup cooking water.
5. Return the skillet to medium heat. Add the pasta and toss until hot throughout, about a minute. Remove from the heat. Add the pasta water to the cheeses, and pour the mixture over the pasta. Toss well, to cook the eggs and melt the cheeses. Taste and adjust for seasoning. Top with the reserved bacon and serve.
