  2. The Soloist

    in Soundboard

    Posted

    I just finished reading The Soloist by Steve Lopez. It's a true story about a black musician and paranoid schizophrenic. I enjoyed the book a lot, as it provides much insight into mental illness, living on the streets, and the power of music. Apparantly it is being made into a movie which is scheduled to be released soon.

    Has anybody else read the book?

    Peace, Mark

    OK, I've finally put my brain back together after Friday night and let me say "wow, that was some mind-blowing musicianship!" Those guys can play, and I totally enjoyed watching and listening as they go places that few bands do. It was definitely very intense and "notey" at times, and as a result I spent more time watching and listening than dancing, but wow, talk about brilliant musical chops.

    Peace, Mark

    Halloween Party tonight ... is going to be insane! Garaj Mahal is a sick sick band and you know the Fat Cats always deliver!!

    Advance Tickets are still available at pepper jack's or dr disc until 5pm.

    Tickets will then be available at the door when they open at 9pm but not a lot so don't wait till the last minute if you can. We "might" sell out.

    It's a wah, it's a volume, it's an envelope filter. It's made in Sweden and I think I want one.

    Anybody ever play any of these?

    No, but I'd love to try one out! Now that EBS has a Canadian distributor (L & M) maybe that will be possible.

    Peace, Mark

    Fatties are to go on by ten on friday, and off stage by eleven. So arrive early if you can folks! That should leave us with plenty of time to get a good groove on to Garaj Mahal!! Really been looking forward to checking them out!

    I definitely don't want to miss the Fatties, so count on me being there by 10. Stoked!

    Peace, Mark

    seriously..... Garaj Mahal is playing in Ottawa!

    I wish I could make the run to Ottawa for the Saturday night show, but no such luck. The same goes for tonight's show in Toronto. I'll have to pack it all into one night in Hamilton! Thank you to everyone who has played a part in bringing this band to Ontario ... it certainly has been a long time coming!

    Peace, Mark

    That's a good question. I don't see anything on ticketweb.ca yet. Hopefully we'll get an update soon. Maybe they're all sold out already?

    According to

    http://www.nufunk.ca

    advance tickets for the Oct. 30 Toronto Garaj Mahal show (which apparently has The Chameleon Project opening up) will be on sale starting Oct. 7. I'd assume hope that advance tickets for the other shows would also be on sale on that date.

    Advance tickets for the Hamilton show are definitely available at The Pepper Jack Cafe. I know because I bought some the last time I was in Hamilton. I'm stoked ... it's going to be a fun night!

    Peace, Mark
