whiteymuseum Posted January 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 You shouldn't discriminate against sick people dude, it's wrong. Haha. Indeed. We actually have a glass box in the FRONT of the venue for the sickies. They can weez and cough all over the glass. As much as they want. We call it "The Victim Box".

TheGoodRev Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Mo Jan 24 - JOEL PLASKETT EMERGENCY (indie-country)whiteymuseum I have to ask you about this. I remember seeing this listing in one of your posts a couple months ago, but since then, all the press I've read (including Plaskett's website, and Pollstar) indicates that the show is at the Underground. Can you straighten this out please? Wouldn't want to be at the wrong venue on the date in question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteymuseum Posted January 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Plaskett is DEFINITELY at Casbah. He's played Underground the last 5 times, but this time Casbah. Tickets on sale now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodRev Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Thanks, man, I appreciate the prompt reply. The folks at his management and label seem to think that the show is at the Underground, as that's the listing on his site and on Pollstar (probably as a result of the site listing). They have obviously been misinformed. I'll try and spread the word as best I can. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodRev Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Bringing this over from another thread, thought it belonged here better: Plaskett is awesome. I have seen him a number of times (at least 5 with the Emergency band and once solo) and he never disappoints. I always tell people, however, that if they're bringing newbies out to see him, it's best to lend them a disc and let them dig it for a couple weeks beforehand. He grows on you in a MAJOR way. Here's a little history, off the top of my head. Plaskett hails from Halifax, where he was the frontman with Thrush Hermit, beginning about the time he was 17. They were considered part of the post-Sloan Halifax Pop Explosion, and their earlier work does hint very strongly towards the Sloan side of things. Their last record together though, Clayton Park, moves far and away from anything remotely related to mid-90's Halifax (except the lyrics). The record is packed with pianos and layered guitars and runs the gammut from heavy Sabbath-like rockers to quieter country-rock ballads. Neil Young's influence was at its highest on this record, compared to the other Hermit records, which are hit-and-miss for me. I highly recommend it. Sidenote: Thrush Hermit was booked to play the 2nd stage at Edgefest 1995 in Barrie, due to the strength of a single from one of their early records (I don't remember which one). They hated being treated like "Canada's next-best thing" and being asked in every interview whether they were trying to follow in Sloan's footsteps, so they thumbed their noses at the press by using the set, an opportunity to play a high-profile gig, to play an entire set of Steve Miller Band covers . Anyway when all was said and done, Plaskett released his first solo record called In Need of Medical Attention. It was partially recorded on the road while on tour with Hermit, and partially recorded afterwards. It's a pretty heavy singer-songwriter record, a complete departure from the loud guitars of Clayton Park. Sort of sad-bastard countrified folk with light at the end of the tunnel. A good dose of pedal steel and accordian adorns the record, too. Following that, he put together the Emergency band, comprised of Dave Marsh on drums and Tim Brennan on bass. His second solo record (first with the band) was called Down At The Khyber, and was a happy medium between the heavy Zeppelin/Neil Young with Crazy Horse vibe of the last Hermit record and the vastly developed songwriting of his first solo disc. Plenty of guitar, bass, and drums, but some excellent use (again) of pedal steel and guest vocalists, among other things. I suggest that any interested parties start with this album, it's just been re-released by MapleMusic and I found it at HMV for $14.99 (before the reissue, the only release I could get my hands on by the time I got into Plaskett was a vinyl copy of this album). His newest release is Truthfully, Truthfully, it came out around the end of 2003. It continues in the same vein as Khyber, and in my opinion is an equally fantastic record. Tim Brennan has since taken somewhat of a hiatus from the band, and Ian McGettigan - producer of Khyber and Truthfully, and former Thrush Hermit bassist - has stepped in on bass. So much for being brief, eh? As you can tell I'm quite a fan. I find that for some people, his voice takes some getting used to, in the same way that Neil Young's does. It's raw and emotional, but in a Rick Danko sort of way (as opposed to an At The Drive-In sort of way). In my humblest of opinions, Plaskett is one of the best Canadian songwriters to emerge since Gordon Lightfoot. Make no mistake, though; if you're going to see him with the band, you're going to see an upbeat rock and roll show. If you decide to check him out, have a good time. I'll be at both Toronto shows and the Hamilton show. Here's a great promo pic taken around the time that Khyber was released. That's Tim Brennan on bass.

TheGoodRev Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 Right on, Seamo, looking forward to hitting either the Toronto or Hamilton show. Esau I PM'd you about Duke vs. Plaskett. Like I said, if I'm bringing people to see him who have never seen him before, I will lend out one of my discs (or suggest they pick up their own) so that people can hear what he's all about. If you like what you hear on his studio records, you'll love seeing him live. Because he's more song-oriented than instrumentally-oriented though, I find that people who don't know his stuff generally have a good time, but the show won't rank among their favourites.
