bald guy in a blanket Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Hey all. Jeff from Seth here. If you're looking for a fun show in T.O. tonight, this'll be the ticket. We've been finishing a CD and rehearsing a bunch. The band sounds, and looks, a bit different now. It's sort of a whole new direction for us, not that the old direction was breaking much ground or anything. Anyway, we're pretty excited about it. It'll be nice to share the vibe with folks. Cool, Jef P.s.-I've also been told to expect blistering sets from Grassy Knoll & The Magic Bullit and Vanderpark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If/when you're hanging with Vanderpark, if you get a chance to talk to Alan, the bass player, tell him Brad in Ottawa says, "Hi!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shainhouse Posted June 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 They are actually a ragtime act now. Nothing but Scott Joplin covers with Jay Moonah on harpsichord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Musicface Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Interestingly, I have played a real harpsicord. Truth is I'm really trying to push us into more of a gamelan-and-chanting direction actually, but Jeff keeps trying to bring in his gawddamn lute. And I won't even talk about Tara's fixation with the didgeridoo. - M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PalacePrincess Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 wow, grassy knoll, i haven't heard that name since about '95/'96? if it's the same grassy knoll i'm thinking of, they're really good! i won't be able to make this show, but whoever does, boogie down!

bald guy in a blanket Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 So that "alt-coutnry" thing was true? Not "alt-country"...avant guard-country. Think Willie Nelson covering Bertolt Brecht. "To all the girls I've deconstructed before..." Rock on. Jef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Musicface Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Don't know if it's the same band Princess but here's their site: http://grassymagic.com/ - M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PalacePrincess Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 thanks musicface! although i see it not the same band (this grassy knoll seems to have formed in 2000). although this band does look good and their band bios are funny (i.e. "born in a forest... prone to fits and temper tantrums..." hahaha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Musicface Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 Hee-hee, 'twas indeed! First time out with Uncle Seth as an electric 4-piece with yours truly on bass and Craig on drums instead. Craig luckily is actually probably an even better drummer than he is a bass player, so no worries there. For me, while I'd never played a full Seth-set on bass before it's something I've been doing on and off for years since '89 - I was slightly nervous about it, but hell I wrote half those songs so I certainly know how they go! It's still not 100% clear if we'll stick with the foursome (necessitated last night by a dearth from our usually healthy pool of sub drummers and bass players) but we'll see what happens. We certainly had a good time last night. Thanks to all who came out! Peace, Mr. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
