I actually have no info about this show.
Nor do I, but one of my favourite shows of '07 was this double bill at Zaphod's i believe it was last August.

I really like the two studio albums Matt Mays has done with El Torpedo, but must confess to being disappointed the times I've seen the band live. They're a good band tho, so maybe, as someone suggests it was just me/the mood/the volume etc.
in the last 3 years Joel Plaskett has really hit the dumps in both live shows and recordings.
For folks who like Joel's earlier work - awhile back there was a lad who started a small independent label called Gooseberry Records.
Their only release to date, as far as I know, has been a tribute album to The Inbreds called We Are Friends.
They have now put out a call for submissions for an upcoming tribute to Thrush Hermit.

Good luck guys. Hope it all works out.
Keep us posted.

Thanks Ad. Listening now.

Sweet!
Would love to be there.

Two boll weevils grew up in the south. One went to Hollywood and became an actor. The other stayed behind in the cotton fields and never amounted to much. The second one became known as the lesser of two weevils.

Caution Jam routinely plays Grateful Dead covers. The Grateful Dead played Watkins Glen in 1973 with The Allman Brothers. Gregg Allman was married to Cher.

Great room for them
Agreed! Really enjoyed seeing the band at this venue.
For the down east folks, I posted an update of this week's shows.
-
Update:
All shows begin @ 10 pm with a $6 cover.
All shows also include I See Rowboats, except the show at Elwood's which includes Penny Black's.
Because it's a CD release series for Rebekah and her home turf, I imagine she will close and The Spades will be on 2nd, but I'd double check with the venue to make sure.

I'm calling a "Police Cruiser" opener.
Heard a sweet version yesterday.
Looking forward to hearing another tonite and to seeing everyone!
I believe the band goes on around 10:30 - 11:00.
-
Baj, not sure where you and the Captain are in relation to these spots but if you guys are close by, take a break from the job/house hunt and c'mon out and catch a set. Good luck on the hunt btw.

I suspect this will be a multi-set show much like we used to see in the pre-Feldman days.
-
That's right.
Before heading to the east coast
and before stopping here
The Spades will be doing a show here
Hope some folks can make it out.
I gotta a feeling this one's gonna rock a little extra.
Cover is probably around $5 and start time is around 10 - 10:30.
As far as I know, The Spades are the only band on the bill.
-
Thanks for the thought DEM.
Perhaps it's fitting that their next gig is at Cafe Dekcuf (Cafe S.O.L. in legal circles ).
Perth, you say....

Also, I'm not entirely convinced that driving with an expired licence sticker automatically renders one's insurance null and void. If it did, I could never see a cop allowing a vehicle to proceed with a warning....ever.
-
Sorry for the short notice.....just realized this.
I believe she is with her band this time around.
Nov. 5 - Ottawa (Zaphods)
Nov. 6 - Guelph (Albion)
Nov. 7 - Hamilton w/Ohbijou (Casbah)
Nov. 8 - Toronto (Tiger Bar)

I understand what people are saying regarding one accepting responsibility for one's actions. Believe me that's a message I've preached, personally and professionally, for many years.
It's just that the amount of the fine struck me as being excessive compared to what happens in Ontario.....but maybe as Davey boy says it's Ontario that's out of whack!
-
I understand what you're saying StnMtn, but the range of discretionary power (a few days vs. $430) seems to be rather wide here. Am I wrong or is the fine for the same offence in Ontario like less than a third of that.
Trivial legal question

Only if your porch was in Quebec in which case you would be fined $4000.00
OR
It was Prince. In which case you would be sued
