Free passes to the festival eh? If I can be ballsy enough to quit my job early, and work some deal with you to pick me up in O-town....I'd definately do this on impulse and go with you Cully.

God damn would it ever be worth it.

Arghhhh

Steph

For sure rockin show last night. Impressed by all the musicians. Here's a few Lauzon pics I managed to drunkenly take.

Peace - Steph

Haven't seen Marc Charron solo, only with Lure, but he's definately intriguing, can't wait to hear what he's got to give. Mike Sasso sounds interesting too. And Lauzon, this is going to be a marvelous evening of talent. See ya'll there

Steph

So are you looking for someone to take up just half the house? Or do you actually have 3 bedrooms to give up? Cause me and a few friends are currently looking for a house, planning on moving by Nov.1st. We're in the Ottawa, and as long as your cool with a few guitars, this may be an option. Hit me up with more info if possible. Ciao for now.

Steph

Aww Alexis thats too bad, I would have really liked to party with you down in the east coast! Moe. down perhaps?

Cheers

Steph

Shitty news to hear.I guess that means you Toolshed boys will have to start thinking about fall or winter east coast tour... haha.

Either way, yes Evolve is going to kick major ass. Word from the promoters are saying there's extra amount of work going into it this year. I've got real good feelings of it being almost as good as E5. And with this lineup, can't really go wrong.

Get ready to Evolve baby!

I'm impressed with this years lineup. Can't go wrong with a weekend of impressive musicians like this. It'll be good too be exposed to new acts I have yet to hear, and I'm sure will be gems in the scene aswell. It's really great Moe is giving an opportunity for a lot of these up and comming bands to get their name out aswell.

After getting a taste of them last thursday I'm going to take up any chance I get to groove to these guys. And a free show friday night, can't go wrong!

I fucking love it...gotta watch that movie again soon.

Very impressed with the show last night. Ultimate funkyness, got down pretty hard. The guys are a lot jammier than I expected, but definately no complaints with that.

And yeah Alex Grey was doing live painting at the Cheese and Ratdog show in NYC too last weekend, a few friends were there, said it was incredible. Then again how could it not be.

Sounds like a groovin good time to me. See ya'll there in a few.

Counting down the days, getting pretty damn excited. Was on the evolve website and saw Stephen Franke and Noises from the Toolshed are on the lineup. Rockin. Any of you cats on here planning on making it this year? 17 days... yeehaaaw!

Woohoo! So good to see the boys comming back, and definately a nice treat to get me pumped for Evolve. Hope to see ALL of you out.

Cheers

One month from today and we'll be smelling the sweet scent of east coast air, sweeping our feet in moist antigonish soil, and basking in hot east coast sunshine. Can't wait!

Definate huge Kudos to all of you who put so much hard work into making such a fantastic shin-dig. Everything did turn out so perfect and I'm so glad I was back here in Ottawa to make it out finally this year. So fun groovin with all of you, music blew my mind, and the weather was remarkable. HUGE thanks to Trevor who was running around most of the day doing such a fine job keeping everything running so smooth. And all the other kind volunteers who busted ass aswell. You guys deserve huge pats on the back! Can't say there would be a better way to bring in the summer. Cheers and much respect.

Steph

Happy Birthday girl!! Definately was a pleasure having u down this weekend for sure. You totally know how to rock the boat, we'll be partying again in the near future i'm sure. Much love and warm wishes cool girl.

Peace

Capt' Steph

3 days of Moe. Umphrey's. UMelt wiggling in there. Beautiful scenic area. That's a recipe for a damn good weekend if you ask me. My 3 biggest bands of interest at this point. I couldn't really ask for more. Getting ancy...i'm in dire need of a dose of these boys...blood is getting low. Get ready for some soul driving orgasmic solo's.....*drool*

See ya'll there

Steph

Wow, amazing shots man. Ecspecially of Umphrey's. Good work! Extremely jealous, thanks for posting them....and making me kick myself in the ass for not going again this year.

Oh well....

Moe Down!

Nice to see them comming to Ottawa. Gonna be a groovin show. Hope to see ya'll shakin it out there.

Cheers,

Steph

Thanks Brad. Listening to Vanderpark right now, and really digging them. And now Dave Lauzon gets announced. Can't wait for this shindig. Definately a good idea on the camping. I'm sure we can round up enough bands to make it a fest of a weekend. Waahhh yeah. Cheers

Steph

I had the pleasure of experiencing one Canada Day here in 04'. Lots of hale and Nero, made for an eventful day. Not farmilar with too much of the lineup this year, but I sure know I'm digging Lure, and am excited to discover some new music while I'm there. Much thanks for putting this on guys. Can't wait to take part in the festivities. Hell yeaaaahhhhh.

Steph

I've been thinking recently about how much I need to see Claypool again. After reading this post, freaky thoughts are going through my head. God I hope they make it up to the north east. NY or Boston for sure. Wiiiiicked.
