1/14/2012 - Death of KBK Live @ The Rutledge + 2/4/2012 - Windi Jones' B-Day Show @ The Rutledge
... We hated to say good bye at least for the meantime to KBK Live. We’ve had many great times with Kasy. Our trip to IL to open for Soil comes to mind right away. Great times! Our job this night was to send KBK off in style and that we did! It was an electrifying show! The crowd was hyped and we fed off of them like a Piranah should. LOL! The set was as follows: “The Growing Pain, Mutation, Drug Wars, Face the Day, Let Me Live, Orchestrated Noise, Crashing Down (1st time ever playing this one), Snap Your Fingers…, Counter Attack and I Am.”
February 4th we were called upon to help celebrate Windi Jones’ birthday and to deliver a rocking show. Mission accomplished! We played to a very large crowd who seemed to really eat up the “Blue Collar Metal” we were serving up. We made lots of new friends and introduced them to our brand of metal. Great night with expanded set which was: “Crashing Down, Let Me Live, Mutation, The Growing Pain, Drug Wars, Orchestrated Noise, Insomnia, Snap Your Fingers…, Face The Day, Counter Attack and I Am.”
We’d like to thank Andy and the staff for taking great care of us off both nights, Brody for the great sound, lastly but not least Kasy & Windi for inviting us out. Much love!
Huntsville, AL...You’re next.

1/3/2012 - New Year Update
Well as you all probably know we didn't win the Project Independent contest. Oh well...it sure would have been cool, but we gave it a good shot. We just wanted to thank everyone that voted for us and to all the people from other bands who showed support and those of you at radio (both traditional, internet and Sirius/XM)... everyone was awesome! We did have fun with it and gained ALOT of attention. We came in at #15 out of the Final Top 20 from a list of hundreds of bands from all over this great country of ours, so not all was lost. THANK U ALL SO VERY MUCH! We have a new CD coming your way this new year (Late spring...we hope) and we will be knocking down alot of doors in the process.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! - Chris

12/2/2011 - Buzz Bash For Kids @ The Rutledge
First off, who in the world has a Christmas parade on a Friday night at 5pm? CRAZY! Well we finally got there and we were to open the show as the original opener had a case of the lame ass and bailed at the last minute. Thanks guy’s way to get ahead here in “Music City.” Anyway, we sat up our gear while having a good time with Frank (Mr. Sound-man). We were going to have to extend our set and finally nailed down a set of 10 tunes and prepared to rock! The set included – Drug Wars, The Growing Pain, Face the Day, Mutation (w/ Mikey Mindsplitter), Dead, I Am, Snap your Fingers, Snap Your Neck, Orchestrated Noise and Santa Claus Is Coming to Town. This was probably our best show at Rutledge this year. Good energy and good playing. We were on! Lots of toys were collected as well as money for those kids who are less fortunate here in Nashville. Don Carr did an excellent job with bringing the show together. Don, you rock!
SEE YOU ALL IN 2012!!!

"WE'RE A METAL BAND."
11/12/2011 - Live Loud Event @ The Nashville Outfit
This was a VERY different kind of a show for us. Michelle “Body Painter” Thornhill threw one hell of a party! We had inter- active body art (checkers on a hot chick), belly dancers, burlesque dancers, Iggy Tate was there getting her hoop on, we had an acoustic performer, many different artists/vendors and bands including us (Piranah). Ha! Ha! Ha! Many WAY HOT girls walking around in next to nothing all painted up by Michelle. WOW!!! When we got up to rock the house we had the attention of the crowd and we brought it! Great energy, good performance…it was ON! We even got some shots from someone in the crowd…FIRE BALL ANYONE!!!!! LOL! It was so cool to see everyone having a great time and getting off on the music.
11/11/2011 - National Metal Day/ Veterans Day @ Rockbar, Nashville
Fresh cup in hand on a cold, rainy day in November and some “Sad Wings of Destiny” on the CD player seemed like a good time to write the latest Piranah reviews.
11/11/11 National Metal Day was a great success in most respects. We started off with one of the best flyers ever by Don Carr.
Anyway, after an hour long delay (thanks congressman) and the poor decision making and planning by the coordinator of the Veterans Day charity event going on in the Cadillac Ranch country room we were able to get going. Gotta give Crash (manager) & Matt (our sound man @ Rockbar) a lot of credit for getting the needed monitors and mics over to Rockbar after the Molly Hatchet cover band finished playing next door. REALLY? LOL!!! I guess they have their fans too, but why does metal always have to suffer for what in my eyes was crap!? One badly ran program after another over there on that side, but I digress. Ha! Ha! Ha!
The show got kicked off with a great performance from Noisecult, complete with a mini Stonehenge and Spinal Tap cover of “Big Bottom” as it was National Metal Day as proclaimed by VH1 Classic. Ray from Oblivion Myth and Nashville Metal Bands fame and I both got up on stage to dance around the mini Stonehenge, but the life of the mini ‘henge was short lived as Ray’s metal foot connected with it and crumbled it to some degree. Sorry Mikey. LOL! It was good to see our bud Austin jamming with Noisecult again. Great set guys!
We in Piranah hit it next and man we were on fire!!! The set included: “Drug Wars, Dead, I Am, The Growing Pain, Face the Day, Gimme Some Blood, Insomnia, Open Mind, Visions of the Damned and Your Supremacy.” We meant business and the people there were excited and ready to receive it, which just fueled our performance even more. Thanks Nashville, u rocked it with us! Great time and great set!!! New Piranah converts...CHECK! \m/
Harlott was next and delivered a strong Aeorsmith sleaze orientated set. Good job. Nice drumming Jay.
Our friends from Destined came up to rock us and did just that! Those still in attendance were treated to a shortened yet KILLER set of metal from Huntsville, AL. You all most definitely won over some fans. Let’s do it again.
All in all a great night of metal performances. Thank you Crash and again Matt for the sound.

10/31/2011 - Piranah on Playboy Radio, Sirius/XM

Thank you! - Chris
10/21/2011 - Fiend Festevil 4 @ The Muse, Nashville
Don Carr’s 4th Annual Fiend Festevil, although it was not attended as well as prior years, this year was still a mighty rocking show and those there know they got their faces melted! Thanks to Don for having us on the bill. Man, it’s funny how you might feel totally tired and/or uninspired to play, BUT when it’s your turn to rock the stage, well…you do just that and remember VERY quickly that this is why you play. It’s what we do and what we love to do. Thank you Lord for the abilities You have given us. This night we brought a ten song set and were cheered on for an encore. The set was as follows: “Counter Attack, Criminal, Dead, Drug Wars, DTA, Face The Day, Growing Pain, I Am, Let Me Live, Orchestrated Noise and One Wish.”
