Thanks!

Lake Trout and Cracker look good too, but I'll definitly hit up JMP w/Derek Trucks. What an incredible free double bill that is!

atleast it's not a toll bridge.

got lawns!

this is good news.

Bringing Canadian bands to the U.S. is something I'm also working on, but there are only so many hours in the day.

Don't expect:

Keller

Umphrey's

YMSB

to be here anytime soon. They are all too expensive.

Nero will be playing in the states and so will Jomommas soon. GTB is only a matter of time.

Keep well,

Shain

I just e-mailed Particle and STS9.

That's about it. I've e-mailed 35 bands and 8 have responded. That's not bad at all.

YMSB is super expensive, so don't expect them at a place like the Comfort Zone anytime soon.

Here are the bands that have responded to me and are interested:

Dr. Didg [probably mid fall]

Lachoza [Late summer]

Wide Awake [fall]

Rebus [august]

Om Trio [October]

Addison Groove Project [late july]

South Catherine St. Jug Band [august]

Aaron Katz Band [ASAP]

Mountain Of Venus [fall]

Nucleus [fall]

All the others haven't gotten back to me yet. I'll e-mail Particle and STS9. Keller is too expensive and his last trip here wasn't great for him and Umphrey's may be too expensive. I'll keep working and hopefully we'll get american music here soon.

Uncle Sammy

Townhall

Psychedelic Breakfast

Expect these three at the cozone before september, hopefully. Uncle Sammy for sure.

Peace-

Add

Col. Bruce Hampton

to that list.

I wanted to bring Ween but they were too expensive.

That's awful, yet funny.

Hopefully, you will see many of these bands at the Comfort Zone in the next year or so. If you'd like them in Ottawa, Brad, e-mail me and I'll give you whatever contact info you want. Once they are here let's make it worth their while.

Any other suggestions of bands, let me know and I'll get on it.

Peace-Shain

I didn't realize someone already took the post.

aw well, congrads anyhoo

I'm starting a band called the

Bort Neilson Band

anyone interested?

I need a singer/guitar/bass and keys.

mazel tov skanktuary!

oh mei!

I wasn't asking for sympathy, I just did this to explain myself.

have a good time at cmtf

Oh yeaH!

Okay, many people have asked me if I'm going, and I continue to disappoint by saying no, and here is why.

I have to work. why you ask?

I work for a promotions and advertising company that promotes coke. Like the sprite zone in raptors games, taste tests and all that junk.

We're doing this big program where the target market is 19-24, thus we have to be out when those people are having fun. That is on weekends and nites. I'll be at Wasaga Beach on May 2-4, and crying that I'll be missing out on such a good time.

So please, think of me when you're enjoying all that great Canadian jam. And remember, read you revolving door.
