Stoolshed Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 First off, we’d like to thank everyone we met in our august travels for the great times. We made an unbelievable amount of new friends and got to hang with old friends. The maritimes rocked our world, and now we’ve recovered a little and are heading out on the road again for a few more shows in Ontario and Quebec. We hope to see you because we love to play music and we love to play for people. In other quick notes, we were nominated for ‘Outstanding Instrumental Recording’ at the Western Canada Music Awards, and had a blast in Calgary doing a showcase there. We’ve decided to start playing more of the upbeat jazz clubs in cities, especially the ones with pianos, so if you know a good room for us, please let us know. Input of all sorts is always appreciated. Lastly, sorry to anyone who emailed me last week. Our website and database crashed hard, and all correspondence sent to me never arrived. BUT, it’s all back up and running. Oh yeah, we’re giving away a pair of tickets for our show closest to you, and a CD to the first person to correctly tells us what Madonna song we reference on our album. If you know, email us or post your answer on the forum on our website. Our october schedule: Sunday Oct 10th Victoria Legends w/ Antibalas Thurs Oct 14th Toronto El Mocambo w/ The Slip Friday Oct 15th Hamilton Pepper Jack’s w/ The Slip Saturday Oct 16th Sudbury Townhouse Tavern Sunday Oct 17th Toronto The Rex Jazz Club (194 Queen st W) Afternoon show: 3.30-6pm, doors at 3, www.tojazzseries.com.

zero Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 I'm pretty excited to see Stephen Franke but not at the prospect of two one set Slip shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaggyBalls Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 hear here...now i won't feel quite so bad about missing the slip...as much as SF&NFtT are a new band that are impressing audiences across the country, I'd have wanted more slip. Looks like I'll be able to save some more dough for moe.. best of Luck, Stephen! you guys had better have the times of your lives (and i'm not avoiding the slip shows cause of you...i'm already planning on missing them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcO Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Wait - The Slip are doing one-set shows? Is that just speculation or is that the deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U.FProductions Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 that is just speculation at this point. i don't see why The Slip wouldn't play 2 sets starting at 11:30pm and ending at 2am. but i'll comfirm with there tour manager later today. we will be getting at least 2+ hours of Slip eash night!

zero Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 There's no rhyme or reason as to when they play one long set and long encores or two sets. Typically though if they have an opener they opt for the one long set. I really prefer the set break though and they are somewhat ambiguous. Penguin boy should go to bat explicitly for the two sets as the promoter if that's what we are wanting which of course it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penguin boy??? I will ask. but if they feel comfortable playing one long 2+ hour set that's fine. I'm also a fan of the two set slip show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Thanks for taking that one in stride Shane. Seriously though based on the last couple days setlists (10/10 and 10/11) they are off the hook right now. They seriously never go that far into the back catalogue and they dusted off some total rarities like Phase One, Highlands and Joe Higley! Which leaves the Melon, Ernie Mickey and You Might Say for us. Bwahahahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U.FProductions Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 i did talk to there tour manager his going to ask the band what they want to do. there's lots of time each for them to play 2 sets each night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U.FProductions Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 oh ya this will make a total of four Slip shows i've done and not made it out to see the show: ( i'm stuck in Halifax working on next big event witch will cross three cities in Alantic Canada. Its going to huge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bONES Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 i'm all about the 2 sets, but... the show in Montreal in May was one long set with encores and it rocked everybodies world, so those not attending are definately missing out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairySari Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Two sets would be awesome - if only because it would give people a chance to go out and have a smoke without missing any of the set. BTw - this show is downstairs at the El Mo, right? Not upstairs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 I couldn't possibly dissappointed with one set if it was anything remotely similar to the Montreal show in May. It's nice to get a break and collect your thoughts and all, but christ, their music is so important and incredible that time stands still for a while. 2 sets can easily split up the magic that comes out of one long marathon set. Too bad you aren't coming shane. It would have been good to see you and your massive balls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U.FProductions Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Too bad you aren't coming shane. It would have been good to see you and your massive balls i'm so disapointed i've only seen The Slip once in the last year and that was at evolve witch wasn't there best set. i think i'm going to have to do a alittle Slip tour in the U.S. this winter sometime.

bradm Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 I remember downloading the MP3s on Franke's site, and liking them a lot, so I'm looking forward to his/their two opening slots for The Slip on Thursday and Friday. And I'll note that I found their record in Sam's on Yonge St. yesterday - in the "New Releases" rack in the jazz section. (I don't know know whether that warrrants a or not, but it at least lets us say we're seeing a jazz band this week...) Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoolshed Posted October 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 At Sam's on Yonge St eh? How much were they charging for the CD? I can tell you that as an independent label/distributor going up against all the major label bastards, I'm glad Sam's stocking it. Curious how much though...Most people have to order it in, and then it's like 16-18 bucks or something. Anyways, see y'all tomorrow. Remember: Martin Tielli's an alien, the good kind. Randy Bachman's an alien, the bad kind. I can tell, although I'm sure they both smell bad, but I'm one to talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
