I found it interesting that, at the Folk Alarm show the night before, Kevin had a pretty big pedal board, including at least four Z.Vex pedals, and he used them, especially in the last tune, which got Lauzonic at times. But at Rivoli, I could see his tuner sitting on top of his amp, but there didn't seem to be anything sitting on the floor; it was blazing un-effected Breit tone all night long. Aloha, Brad

Any cover tune performed by Sisters Euclid. Aloha, Brad

The DoneFors, 2010-02-02, The Cameron House, Toronto, ON. The band is there every Tuesday in March, 6pm - 8pm, and it's pay-what-you-can, so if you're downtown around dinner on Tuedays, drop in for a pint and a few tunes. Ask them how they rock. Aloha, Brad

Werewolves Of London - David Lindley & El Rayo-X Papa Was A Rolling Stone - Was (Not Was) Play It All Night Long - Cooder / Lindley Family Aloha, Brad

That was one of the most jaw-dropping Sisters Euclid shows I've seen. With as much respect as I have for The Orbit Room, and their hosting of Sisters Euclid for, what, the last decade or so?, it's a tiny place. At Rivoli, there was a lot more room to fill, and Sisters Euclid did that, wallofsoundly. The bigger stage gave the band members room to move, with Kevin shaking what he had, and rubbing the rest of it against himself a lot, and a finale that had Gary step out from behind the drum kit to the front of the stage and full-bodily and lungefully conduct the other three members, in a blamp!, blampblamp! kind of way. The new keyboard player, Mark Lalama, was a lot more present, sonically and musically, compared to the show I saw at The Orbit Room in December. (I think I had a flash-side* of Jeff Heisholt playing keys with them, visually and musically.) My life may be complete now. Aloha, Brad * Like a flash-back, but not flashing straight back to the way things were, more flashing over to the side to the way things could be.

It should write nero log entries, with quotes of the day(s). Aloha, Brad

What time are the doors opening? I'd assume that with Electric Meat starting at 9pm they'd be open at 8pm, but the earliest door-time listing I've seen is 9pm. Aloha, Brad

http://www.jambands.ca/sanctuary/showtopic.php?tid/256038/ It's an early show (6pm - 8pm), pay-what-you-can cover, and the band is really good. I'm starting a three-night run with this tonight, then Folk Alarm tomorrow night, then Sisters Euclid (+ HPD + Electric Meat) on Thursday. Aloha, Brad

So how was the show? Aloha, Brad

I'd put Sam Stone by John Prine in that list, too. Aloha, Brad

Really good. Babylon was packed, more cramped than I think I've seen it before, and Souljazz kept the dance floor full and jumping the whole night. Aloha, Brad
