the spades

Thanks for posting Bouche! Great to hear this. I went to see The Hip in the Day for Night days in Syracuse at a Theatre. This was my band, I was maybe 16-17. I asked for an autograph from Downie and the guys after the show. I had a crazy embroidered hippy jacket with gold leaves all over it. Downie said "wicked jacket man" and signed "Enthusiasm conquers all" Gord Downie. Back then my first few attempts at singing were not good, I remember someone saying once "you will never be a singer,ever" but I always came back to what he wrote. I never forgot it for some reason. Years later my band did a show with them. He was looking at his setlist backstage and said "I can't show you, too embarrassed". He said "My setlist has the chord changes for my guitar parts ...I am just learning". I had a "smoke" with him and then I went side stage and watched The Hip as they killed it! I thought .. what a fuckin guy.

I to am looking but for the 5th. Would like to get 2, but could easily settle on one or three!

I am in Quebec today and can not recall my moho log in, but for some reason remember a very old spades log in I once registered. Any way this is a note to anyone going to Bob Wiseman tonight at The MoHo in Peterborough: IT IS AN EARLY SHOW! Starting at 9pm rather than the usual 10:30sh start. Hope Bob freaks the moho out! Wish I could be there. James

Just popped in here, glad to see some discussion about this. The name The Spades has been used many times,there is a great picture of a 60's garage band on the net somewhere. We had to change our name to James McKenty and The Spades. I edited my post about this on our site, as I thought "Logo" was not the right wording for what we are trying to find. The challenge for us is the length of our name and having it in a design that is original. If I can figure out how to post a picture here I'll give you the look of the album cover minus band name. Booche, I like your idea. We've used the card symbol for the spades suit lots.
