BLUESFEST!!!
-
Love their tune 'TOW'.. one of my favourite new discoveries this year!

RIP, amen brother.
Not the most timely news, but damn, talk about giving the heart strings a painful tugging Jay Dawg!
I'll always remember Wheels as the awkwardly good-natured, pink-sweater wearing bass player of Zit Remedy. He brought a lot of people joy and happiness with his music.
He also stood by his glasses, for better or worse.

I don't even want to talk about 'School's Out!'

This just in!
Doors are at 9pm!
Music around 10pm!

Best comedy record of the year- 'Lulu' by Lou Reed and Metallica
HANDS DOWN
-
Everyone should REALLY try and catch this next week! The performing area has been moved to the floor and it's nice and vibey. The sound is great and man can these guys play together!
Also, Velvet doesn't smoke until after the show, so its a chance to see him really edgy!

Sad anniversary- but great to see the love remains.
-
Wow- I immediately thought 'Glory of Love' as well..
but I prefer the Peter Cetera version

'oh maaaan, my favourite bowl is busted bro... Bummer maan!! I must call upon the jambands community for repair advice and compassion to help me through these harsh timez'
Welcome back AD!

I'm kind of surprised to not see any discussion of this growing movement on here..
What do you think?
I think it's really exciting! It seems like a perfectly gentle and directed campaign.. I like that it's intentionally leader-less.. although ambiguous as to its 'end-game' expectation- I think their statements have all been sensible and anyone that's come forward to speak for the movement has been fair and eloquent.. A continually growing peaceful show of power that might continue for a long time can only result in some kind of change.. it's about time USA!
Do you find this exciting?
Do you feel like this could bring any change?
I have a big respect for people dropping their lives to support this movement.

I've got a CRAvery for some good live musik!!
-
Happy Birthday Fluffy! I hope your day is filled with meat-related treats and quirky internet links!
big love!
-
oh man. I think I'm in.
-
I haven't seen the Jicks either, just love their records. I also haven't been to this venue, so I'm looking forward to the unknown. We picked up our tix at Vertigo a few weeks back.
-
is this sold out?
No ! You guys should come! It's the album we listened to coming back from Superball.. dude from Pavement.

Very stoked for the Ottawa show!! Enjoy T.O. New Rider!

I thought it was a pretty fun show! K and I were on the floor next to the soundboard and found the sound to be somewhere between shrill and ear-splitting, but once my brilliant wife produced some toilet paper to shove in my ears, it sounded pretty nice. Amazing though, how low the overall band mix is underneath Eddie's vocals. He is the still the star of this show. That said, it's awesome to see a true front-man rock the eff out like Eddie. Is it me, or was he looking a little Bruce Springsteen-y with the slicked lid, telecaster and black jeans.
They are a definitely great rock'n'roll band with super dedicated fans- I haven't heard Scotia Bank place that raucous in a while. Highlight for me was definitely 'Breath' from the Singles soundtrack... and it was a treat to see the other tunes I knew I liked... and ride between the rails of enjoyment and boredom/distaste for the others.
Lots of clean cut dorks screaming along with 'Better Man' was pretty funny.. as well as the number of 'Tabernacs!" the french dudes behind us dropped through-out the set.

Jesus Bonehead rules.
He's also drunk on power.
6 October in Ottawa.
are you asking me out, sir?

I've seen them a bunch of times, but I once saw the Dayglos at the SIlver City in Banff when I was working at Sunshine Village- in the season of 95/96. Cretin wasn't there, so it was just Jimbo on vocals. Might have been the little man in a canoe tour. It was their tour ender and they were doing a shot at the start of every song. in the middle of TwoDogsFucking, the rythm guitar player spewed puke all over himself and his guitar and didn't miss a note. I was very impressed.

I think you nailed it fluffhead77- moedown needs segregation! lol. Its actually kind of true.
It was a great time and moe. played great. They have reworked some of their newest tunes and Billy Goat, Suck a Lemon and a few other new ones are really getting good. It was definitely under attended too, so strolling to a great viewing area between the soundboard and the stage was easy for any set. The weather was actually pretty good for the most part.. until Sunday, which was total crap, and kind of brought the vibe down a bit.
Don't have much to report in the way of the other acts- I thought Ween phoned it in a bit. TVOTR was fun, or at least what I caught. Bruce Hornsby was great but made a strangely timed remark about Robbie Robertson and his songwriting affiliation with him- and kind of poked the crowd into applause- before playing a song they'd written together, right before Levon Helm's set.
Overall though, a great famoely reunion.
Security was a bit annoying the first day for sure.

i mean, awessssssssome
Bob Loblaw + Death Cake @ Irene's (Ott.) Sept. 15
in Soundboard
Posted
What a nice re-counting, we love you too SpecialB! I nominate Fluff as a new Toronto jamband.ca contributor!
Let's get some more Fluffing going on round here!
Thanks to everyone for coming out, and I agree- Bob Loblaw is always such a treat to see (and hear!) in action. It's almost like being simultaneously aurally pollinated by four musically pent up bumblebees, but truly, much more so like being fucked, in the ear..
.. and Death Cake had a blast playing our second show.. Still working out the bugs and writing tunes, so I'm sure we'll have more in the months to come!
