bouche Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 The end of the year and an indefinate end for one of Canada's top independant jambands, nero was celebrated in Ottawa last friday night at Maverick's. Many people travelled a very impressive and flattering distance to experience Dec.31, 2004 with friends, new and old. We've posted a SHOW REVIEW and PHOTOS of the evening. Have a read and look to revisit the evening and remember how magical a night with nero is. You can download the show from archive.org RIGHT HERE Thanks nero!

meggo Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 ... what a nice read, andre, thank you. some quotes which were most poignant to me: "Just for good measure, the boys banged out an encore of Condor, which completely crystallized the room. We dreaded this moment as much as we embraced it." that's bang-on... i don't think i will ever forget how i felt during that song... and: "You have each enriched our lives in many ways and a family was born, thrust from your music." *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balogna pogna Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 That article and photos are amazing...and fill in some fuzzy spots. Thanks again to the nero boys for all the fun over the last few years and for all the hard work done by the brothers booche (bouche) in documenting this memorable night.

M Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Thanks for such a phenomenal night everyone. The music and the company kept were stellar. Extreme kudos as well to the Bou/oches for providing a summation of the eve and a forum for us all to express our impressions in. As well to the 40 main mainstays who made sure the party and the music never stopped that eve / ensuing day. (Did it ever stop?!) Cheers to the nero boys & Velvet for being such rockin' lads, both in musical wizardry and in spirit. I wish you all nothing but the best. Take care and thanks for the memories... you're a fine bunch indeed. Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esau Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Well,I've wanted to post in this thread for a couple days now,but wasn't sure what to add here,so instead I decided to post what I posted in the thank you thread of Howler's.Massive thanks to nero for the years of fine music,laughs & friendship.I probally wouldn't have met so many of the friends I have now if not for ya'll,another huge thanks.Hands down the best dam after-parties ever!I love ya guys,the friendships aren't over,but as a band its not going to be the same without ya.All the best to you guys in the future,see ya soon.(feb) It’s these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudesNothing remains quite the sameWith all of our running and all of our cunningIf we couldn’t laugh we would all go insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Great review and pics... That night was truly magical. Thanks to everyone involved, the band and the people who came out and partied. We'll miss seeing nero, I'm glad I got to be a part of all of this. Good times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guigsy Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 so, maybe i think too much... BUT.. i got my itunes on shuffle right now, and i just heard the intro to the 2nd set from nero's eve... "this set will be all steve miller songs"... the last time i was a little torn up about losing an awesome canadian band that i thought was just kinda coming into there own and could really turn some heads and blow some minds, it was 1999 and it was Thrush Hermit. they're from the east... the punk's from the east... once upon a time, thrush hermit did an all steve miller set at one of the earlier edgefests.... tip of that hat? odd coincidence? a fan who goes way too deep into music to find sh!t like this? who knows... (not to hijack the thread, but at any rate, did anyone here catch that thrush hermit/steve miller set? i didnt, but have heard the legend of it...)
