After a bit of a break (since Hallowe'en), Inglewood Jack is bringing the funk to Ottawa South this Saturday, February 17 at The Thirsty Toad (Bank St., near the Billings Bridge mall). Sharing the bill with us will be The Pejoratives (who used to be the rhythm section of Stairwell K). The cover is $7 at the door, or tickets in advance can be bought from members of either band for $5. (If you want an advance ticket, and can't get hold of a band member, send a Private Topic to me with your name, and we'll put you on an "advance ticket" list for the cheap price.) As a bonus, the first two people who send a Private Topic to me will each get two free spots on the guest list. The doors open at 9pm, and The Pejoratives should hit the stage at 10pm, for an hour and a half, with Inglewood Jack starting around midnight. As well, this Thursday, Feb. 15, during their usual (free!) Thursday night slot at The Clock Tower brew pub (Bank St. and The Queensway), The Pejoratives will have members of Inglewood Jack sitting in; I think our DJ D-Mass will be bringing his turntables, so that should be a fun mix with The Pejoratives' jazzy/funky playing, as well as a nice tasty appetizer for the main dish(es) on Saturday. We're really excited about this show, as it's a new venue (as well as a new neighbourhood) for us; we're also going to have a bit more time to "stretch" a bit and make the funk a bit jammier, so if you can make it, we'd really appreciate it.
