gentlemonkey Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 (edited) I'm filling in on drums again for the J22s, at Barrymores, Dec 16th. Opening for the Eric Eggleston Band- who have apparently been touring all over Europe and North America this year, and are supposed to be great.. I've been rehearsing with the 22s and we're having fun playing together and we're going to have a tight set prepared for the Rock Hall.. We'll likely be starting between 9-10. Afterwards, I'll be getting beligerently drunk. There will be a Xmas songs portion of the show as well.. Edited December 16, 2005 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 gentlemonkey, I'd love to be able to come out and record this (ideally all of it, but at least J22). What's the best way for me to handle getting permission?Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Great band, played a couple shows with them way back when. Glad to hear you're getting some drumming in Jay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the best way for me to handle getting permission?Aloha,Brad bradm, They have actually asked about you, and mentioned that you have given them recordings in the past. I am sure they would be more than happy to have you there taping. I'll clear it up tonight and let you know. Also, no, not on the website mugshot, as I am playing with them on a fill-in basis. They have a ridiculous drummer (jeff asselin- of organix and ottawa wonder twins) and he is just really busy playing with some serious projects. aaand, we learned a few covers this week- including a Toto number..

Guest Low Roller Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Glad to hear that J22 are still around. They were probably the first bar band I saw in Ottawa, along with Henessey and Nectar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentlemonkey Posted December 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Did you have a crush on Hennessy Pam? She's an awesome singer/preformer, but i think they only get together to play once a year or something. Nectar is still around though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Hell yeah I had a crush on Hennessy Pam. Very attractive lady.Nectar were good but trying to be a little too prog rock or something... too many pirate shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gentlemonkey Posted December 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 So, J22 is on by 9:30pm, if you were thinking of coming. I will be festivley dressed as Santa's hetero-elf lifemate, Bloato; if thats added incentive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Low Roller Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 I don't blame you. However if Pam would *happen* to go on stage with them for a song or two it would be wise to tape that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
