Naked Nate and actor James Lathrop challenged the face of the classic motorcycle rally by bringing together the great Northwest independent music scene with a motorcycle rally and camping weekend at the Rock Creek Lodge of Montana -- it was the sNaKe PiT Music and Motorcycle Connection (SPMC) of 2008 and 2009.

At the end of the day the SPMC Rally and Independent Music Festival was one of the biggest things to happen in the MM (Motorcycles and Music) world. We brought back the real rally while at the same time we pulled out the great Northwest talent from the small pubs and into the public -- and of course we had a kick butt time!

But nothing lasts forever, and after those first two fantasic years we had to pack up our bikes and ride home to the Rolling Thunder Saloon of Odessa, Washington. The brothers are planning to focus on separate aspects of the project over the next few years. Nate will continue and build up the rally as the SPMC Thunder Run in support of the Wounded Warrior Project (third weekend in June every year) at the Rolling Thunder Saloon of Odessa, Washington. James is looking for a new site to host the all orginal sNaKe PiT Music Festival. Contact him directly if you have a Washington State location that would be perfect for re-creation of this fest, and stay tuned with us as truly cool things will be happening!
