Booche Posted July 12, 2002 Report Share Posted July 12, 2002 10:45 PM, we are getting there and I am DAMN ansy and somewhat pissed "They gotta be either onstage or getting onstage" They werent there. "Nothing's there." Not again. Holy DOY flashback Batman! We ask the doorman what the Deal is, he says he has talked to them and they will be late. phew . The Punk's green bad-ass mini-van pull-up and the sigh of relief was as great as last nights run in with our first Head that set us up for the night at a cheap-cheap cost with NO worries, pull into the Comfort Inn's. "Right on, brother's packin' heat......." We help them carry their gear in and then go off to the alley. Soundcheck.................hahahahahaha, none of the crew seemed to know it was soundcheck and thought they were getting the first song of the first set. Everyone is in high spirits, there is about 30-35 people there and we begin to realize we are actually going to hear Jeff play with another band, as he sets up his "partial" gear. Let me just say this now, he has made the PERFECT call on what to carry with Downtime. The first set was standard "HOLY SHEET! HAVE THESE GUYS EVER TAKEN A NOTCH UP THE LADDER!" stuff............... It was utter madness in there. You people are going to lose your stuff tomorrow night, but dance! Mr Clean Teatime Spanish Moon Travellin Matt Use Me (Bill Friesell cover, thanks E'rsch (sp?)) Hocus Pocus I dont know the spellings, and the order may not be exact, but you get the idea. This was fun fun fun until daddy took her teabird away with the booting of the band off the stage. I didnt want to see them stop, yes, I am officially jaded for the 3rd time this week! Jeff is way more than you understand with this band. I ended up learning more about the guitarist and drummer than I had ever thought possible. We all know that they are good, but most of you wont really know until you see the new line-up. Someone has added Kramer for 50 bucks! Solar Slowdown Zenith Space Command Quantico Dirt Jam > Drum Breakdown > Jazz Jam > Chank Once again, this is as accurate as a wasted Booche can do talking to anyone aside from Velvet. The band knew what was going on, but here and there, I had to say "Ummm, I think Blah Blah Blah was played before Blah Blah Blah" What do I know? I'll tell you what, The Scherzo is EASILY my favorite room for a band. If you get a chance to see Pico De Gallo in Kingston at this bar on a Saturday night, do it............ This set was liquidy-funkified. The jams went over the top and built to chaos. I have seen some crap this week, and these boys kept her growin'. I feel bad though, I have no idea how I hadn't noticed the profficiency of this drummer before. Pay attention, you WILL be blown. Sorta like a 1000 children dancing on a lawn-blown. As Treyter just said: Oh, Downtime are a force to be reckoned with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skelter Posted July 12, 2002 Report Share Posted July 12, 2002 yeah dude that was a great show...which song was it with the First Tube tease??? They almost slid right in but I think Jeff decided he wanted to stay where he was... i left after Solar Slowdown...i had to get sleep or trouble was abound...but what a GREAT song that was...my favourite of the night for sure...i'm guessing the rest of the set was pretty sick too... www.scherzo.ca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted July 13, 2002 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2002 HAHAHAHA! That 1st Tube tease was great. Got all those Skancs up dancing, and went back into its own groove. It was during Hocus Pocus I believe........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
