zero Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Does anybody know what the deal is with the Join and whether they've been playing lately? Any chance they're playing tomorrow?Answered my own question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodRev Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 What're they all about? I'm headed into Toronto from Hamilton tonight, but I don't get off work until 8 so I might be cutting it close with those early sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted December 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 I gather it is similar to the New Deal- basically it's Darren Shearer from the Deal on an electronic drum kit doing the live electronic trip with guests often from other contexts like the New Deal (Dan Kurtz) or Gypsy Soul (Ewan Miller). At no cover it makes for a cool time. Plus it's in the lounge of the Drake Hotel which is a really cool performance space/ art incubator/ living quarters. If anyone is coming down and they have fumables I'm looking (Luke in the California ball cap). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamo Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Thanks to those who made it last night. I've been honoured to be playing keys with Darren & Trevor on the past few Join gigs. Lotsa fun Luke - Great to meetcha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mister slippery Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 now i get it. the drake was last night. glad it went well. harmony room tonight? do we know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamo Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 I'm pretty sure there is NO GIG at Harmony tonight. Harmony has eliminated their weekly and bi-weekly schedules of bands (even monthy if I'm not mistaken). They're now opting for a more "one-off" approach to their live music offerings... Check with Harmony @ (416)534-1987 I'm sure a request to have the band back would help! Peace, and happy NY!!! Dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted December 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 The Join was good but it was hard to appreciate against the backdrop of beautiful peopleness. I swear I looked around the room and could not find a single person that was listening to anything other than themselves! What was amazing was that the Woodchoppers Association was downstairs playing 4 sets with over 50 musicians! More to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamo Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Woodchoppers was very interesting indeed! I had a chance to watch for about 20 mins after the set upstairs. The Join is more a background thing at the Drake lounge...you're right, lots of pretty people looking at other pretty people. Not much attention on the music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
