Velvet Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Yup, The John Henrys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 (edited) In Ottawa, The John Henrys for sure, as well as Lure, Real Gone Daddies, and Soul Jazz Orchestra. I also have a great like of Inglewood Jack, but I may be a bit biased on that one.. Edit to add: and, of course, David Lauzon. Aloha, Brad Edited April 19, 2006 by Guest Add David Lauzon.

StoneMtn Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 BAKED POTATOwww.myspace.com/bakedpotatofunk Blending enthusiastic stage prescence along with psychedelia, jazz-funk fusion and extended jamming in the spirit of the Allman Brothers and the Grateful Dead, Baked Potato provides a staple of fast and furious arrangements of well crafted, jam-laden, horn fuelled jam-funk explorations.Also, of course, I'll always be a big fan of themasses and Slow Nerve Action.

ollie Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Real Gone DaddiesDon't know if I have a favourite but this just reminded me of their great set on Canada Day and then... nothing!

bradm Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 RGD did a couple of gigs later on in the year at The Bayou, IIRC (one in August, and one in October, I think), but neither were well-attended. I don't think they've done a gig since October or so. Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

questcequecest? Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Occasionally, my friend Jay and I will get drunk, climb on a roof somewhere and drum with our hands. We're called Rooftop Deadtour. We're pretty good, but lack a fan base.I used to like The Silver Hearts, but they don't reply to my questions so I'm bitter.
