  1. I will man, I've been busy, then hit the road. Back on June 15th...4 months to hockey season!
  2. Hey all, I'm coming through Ottawa again, this time with a band I'm managing (and playing bass/mandolin with on this little trip). Jon and Roy are opening for the John Henry's at the Black Sheep on Friday June 6th. If you're a fan of roots/folk rock, Jon writes fantastic songs which you can stream or download at: www.jonandroy.ca. As well, though this is just spammy promotion, in march they did a tour of the UK w/ Buck 65 and just licensed the title track of their new album to Volkswagen, replacing Wilco during a nine month TV ad campaign... Be well, hope to see a few of you there. I personally have never played the Black Sheep and am really looking forward to it! Stephen.
  3. Yo Shane, Stephen Franke here. I'm at COCA with Jon and Roy. See you there. BTW, thw COCA slots are private as in no public allowed...We're there on the saturday. See ya man.
  4. Opening act will be Jon and Roy, from Victoria, withe me on bass/mandolin! (That being Stephen Franke). check out Jon and Roy: www.jonandroy.ca Chowder.
  5. I have to admit, I did it. You know what the cold does to a woman...front and centre. Haha. Sorry Mike. Sorry about the tub, what a weird thing, which HAS to stem from the company/employees/friends of employees somehow. Thanks again for the dindin and the wonderful music by Slash. We actually watched the Paco De Lucia one the next day on the big screen. F-ing hilarious. Check out the bongo player, then the rhythm guitarist...
  6. Stephen Franke here. I'm going to be in Ottawa during the last week of January, and I want to go to the Senators/Bruins game on January 31st. Anyone want to go? Got tix? It seems there's still lots for sale... Outside Ottawa it's widely known and accepted that Ottawa is the second best team in the league, second only to the Vancouver Canucks. As the Sens are also my second favourite team in the league, I gots to hit a game up. takers? PM me, or email stephen 'at' stephenfranke.ca . Stephen.
  7. Hello again from the Toolshed! If you're on the island and in Victoria this weekend you can find us in Centennial Square as part of Jazzfest. Saturday promises to be a sunny warm day, and what better to do than head downtown for a free show in the square? Saturday June 23rd, 3pm Noises from the Toolshed Centennial Square, Victoria BC On another note, this summer we'll be dropping around locations on the island and Canada, but notably: June 30th: Lesquiti Island, Lesquiti Island Arts Festival July 1st: Courtenay BC, Outside, but I must admit to not knowing the location yet) August 2-6: Antigonish Nova Scotia, Evolve Festival (featuring: Do Make Say Think, The Brazilian Girls, Keller Williams, Lotus and more) August 17-19: Cumberland BC, The Big Time Out - Cumberland Village Works (Vancouver island festival featuring: Corb Lund, Spearhead, Sly and Robbie, Sarah Harmer, Five Alarm Funk and more) Hope to see you at some of these. Be well. Stephen
  8. Well, Noises from the Toolshed are going to Cumberland, playing on the Saturday, and are thrilled to be there. This is a Cumberland thread...no point in comparing festivals, especially not in this thread. I'm personally stoked to see the above mentioned acts, and the ones not mentioned: Xavier Rudd (not yet announced), Mother Mother, Five Alarm Funk, and way more. Cumberland is beautiful, and the surrounding area is peaceful and full of lakes, etc. Killer lineup. I can't believe all these acts are making it to the island,let alone cumberland. Both festivals will be good times and good tunes. El Toolshed will be in Cumberland because we're islanders, we're stoked on it and because we're playing. An all around good weekend on the island the the sunshine coast. Stephen
  9. Sitting in Victoria, loving what I see. Love the Nucks, like the Sens lots, it'll be great to see the two together in the final. Although, and I've said it here before, Nucks over the Sens for the cup. Haha. After a killer series, including an oldtime hockey fight between Naslund and Alfredson, swatting at each other.
  10. Hellloooo everyone, We're happy as hell to be coming out again! It's been over a year in coming, and we still haven't finished our upcoming instrumental release, but we're coming none the less. Actually, we have alterior motives. We wanted to come see the Rheos do their last show because we're big fans and wanna pay hommage, but also, what is a band if not to play shows? Hence, here we are. In fact, we've been doing three days a week in the space, working on new stuff, revamping and rewriting old stuff, etc., so we've got lots of new things about. We hope to see a bunch of you at some of these shows: Wed March 28th: arrive in TO, find gear, find live music and beer, make fun of Leafs to Jeff Carter. Thurs March 29th: London, Fanshawe College, Noon show Thursday March 29th: Peterborough, The Red Dog (evening show), w/ openers: Makita Hack and the Log Rollers (great oldtime acoustic act). Friday March 30th: Toronto, The Now Lounge (189 Church St., a block from the Massey Hall Rheos show) w/ openers: Beyond the Pale. We play after the Rheos are done. ( http://www.jambands.ca/sanctuary/showtopic.php?tid/238786/ ) Saturday March 31st: Ottawa, Cafe Dekcuf, w/ our friends Inglewood Jack. That'll be all for us, because we fly out sunday afternoon, back to home, after destroying Mike and Sharon's place. Huxtabooyakasha! Stephen, el diablo del Toolshed.
  11. Hey, I can't read through all the pages to figure out what's going on, cause I'm just writing a comment about Slowcoaster: My favourite canadian band. Great band, great songs, catchy as hell, fantastic live show, great voice. Go slowco. I'm still not bored of them and I've seen them about 20 times, cause we've done a few joint tours with them. Glace Bay junior high basketball. Stephen del toolshedio.
  12. Hey there, If you're in the area and didn't already know, Noises from the Toolshed will be playing in victoria this friday: Friday March 16th Steamer's Pub Hannah Georges (10.15pm-10.50pm) Noises from the Toolshed (11pm-12.15pm) Maurice (12.30pm-2am) We'd love to see you and have a few new songs in the repertoire, so come enjoy a night of music. Stephen.
  13. Hmmmm....how did my undergotchies get in Ms.Huxtable's closet? Must have been the time I brought over a female of a certain eastern ... persuasion. I don't remember too much of that night. If I piece together my patchy memory, I think the two of them kicked me out of the bed while locked in embraces and I, still in shock from the overwhelming experience, walked the streets of hull, and later ottawa, naked. That must be where I lost the gotchies. I deny the watch. Next you'll tell me I left lipstick there too. I swear it was Bouche's and I just borrowed it. Can't wait to come back. Got the tub covered again? Stephen.
  14. Noises from the Toolshed will be opening, and as the person who booked most of the west cost tour, I can tell you the date has always been the 27th. I think the date mixup was just a case of telephone. Stephen.
  15. El gigo es este Vierdes, Janiero 12, 2007. Tocamos con nuestros amigos 'Hey Marmaduke'. El baro se llama 'Steamer's Pub', Calle 570 Yates. Hasta Luego. Stephen. El Toolshedo.
  16. (sung to the melody of Bryan Adams 'Heaven') I'm finding it hard to believe, you're Eleven. Haha. The underage thing only matters if it's a young girl. Recently after a hockey game, we were talking in the lockerroom, and one of the guys mentions he's about to become a grandfather. Well, he didn't look that old, so after quizing him a bit, we found that he'd 'put the puck by the goalie' when he was 13, and she was 23. Everyone laughed. No one thought it was wrong, or that he'd been statutorily raped. Then again, they grew up in rural alberta. I'll save you my farm animal comments.
  17. I don't know why the Leafs are 30-1 and the Canucks are 40-1. The Leafs won't make the playoffs. Haha. It's funny because it's true. Suck it up leaf fans. The Canucks will make the playoffs, finishing 1st in the Northwest division (where they're currently in 1st). Sorry Ottawa. Canucks over the Sens in 6 games for the cup.
