I can't even begin to describe how good this show was! Hopefully someone out there can gather their thoughts and write a review (with pics?) for those of you who didn't/couldn't make it out.

I have to go back to sleep...

I had them at Elixir in June and it was goddamn fuckin amazing. Great guys, absolutely killer live show, awesome party. They played til well after last call and people were with them the whole way.

In my humble opinion, the PDs are Canada's best live act going right now.

And yes, that Kingston show was RIDICULOUS!

let's see...

Herbie Hancock - Flood

Mark Taylor - Where The Wind Witch Resides

Thrush Hermit - Clayton Park

Bill Evans - You Must Believe In Spring

Frank Black - Teenager of the Year

In no order, and always subject to change...

Sloan - Twice Removed

The Slip - Angels Come On Time

John Scofield Band - Up All Night

Thrush Hermit - Clayton Park

Pavement - Terror Twilight

The Inbreds - Kombinator

Bill Evans - You Must Believe In Spring

The Superfriendz - Mock Up, Scale Down

Weezer - Pinkerton

Radiohead - OK Computer

belleville, eh?! awesome!

indeed!

We're gonna try and put on a few rad shows at The Penguin, and if we get enough support we should be able to make this a monthly thing. So tell your friends...

[i happen to know the chef at the Penguin quite well and I'm sure he can hook you up with a vegan meal].

Howdy Folks...

THE RHEOSTATICS will be performing live at The Bohemian Penguin (upstairs) in Belleville, ON on Friday, March 11th!

The doors open at 8:00pm and the show starts at 9:00pm.

Tickets are $20 and the ticket entitles the guest to $10 off their bill downstairs in the Bohemian Penguin restaurant.

* The $10 bucks off doesn't have to be used the night of the show *

The Bohemian Penguin is a world flavours fine dining restaurant, with tonnes of options for every diet (most entrees under $20). There is a hall upstairs with a capacity of 120.

For ticket info, call (613)969-9555 and ask for Bruce. I'm not Bruce, he owns the joint.

Watch for more great shows at The Penguin in the coming weeks as our "Live at The Penguin" series continues (lots of Canadian Content!!!)

Thanks for your time - L8's

Thank you. Jared has answered all of my questions

I can't remember if I asked this already, but is NSG OK with taping? (Tala and PressWon are, so I'll be taping at the show regardless.)

Aloha,

Brad

Taping at Groove shows is encouraged! Hope to see you there!
