bradm Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Slammin Jack, from Vancouver, is hitting the road in the new year (I think to support a new album), and doing gigs in Southern Ontario. They don't, however, have a gig set up for Ottawa. The last time they played here was Wednesday, March 31, 2004 (download it here), and, well, the turnout wasn't great. ISTR there being fewer than 10 people at the show; it was one of those best-show-nobody-ever-saw nights.They have a date free in their schedule, namely Saturday, Jan 28. If an Ottawa show could be set up, would it be worth their while to play here? The "slammin" part of their name is apt: they bust out serious music, with great songwriting, kiler musicianship, and some great jams.I think that if there was expected to be a decent turnout, and maybe with some postering done from our end, it could be a really good night for us/them, but I'm a little leery after their previous show. (I realize a Saturday show will usually draw better than a Wednesday show, but it's still possible it could be disappointing.)Your thoughts would be appreciated. I'd hope we could set the show up with a local act, if that adds to the draw.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentlemonkey Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 well, Slammin Jack could sign up local Jam-kings, Inglewood Jack... the show might result in a showdown of sorts... a Jack-off, as it were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted November 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 OK, let's assume that Inglewood Jack was the opening act; call it "Jacks Are Better", and no Circle Jerks covers.Would people show up for it?Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentlemonkey Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 I'm sure plenty of people would be interested in a good ole fashioned Saturday night jack-a-thon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gentlemonkey Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Jack Jokes aside, Im sure it'd be a great night!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Ya gotta figure. Whatever happens, and I can't speak to Slammin Jack, Inglewood Jack needs to get more Ottawa gigs because I think we're going to be at the Lanc in KW that night. / . At least Inglewood Jack Merchandising hasn't pulled all their shows off the Archive... (I see Slammin Jack has a couple up there too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomFoolery Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Slammin' Jack is a kick ass band folks. I don't think I'm going to be Ontario then (better not be), but if I were... I'd hit the jack-fest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-towns Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 You guys back east need to support bands touring from the west, and they're awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatpatguy Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 At least Inglewood Jack Merchandising hasn't pulled all their shows off the Archive... (I see Slammin Jack has a couple up there too). [color:purple]I have it from a source close to the band that Inglewood Jack has been in some very serious talks with their record company about whether or not they can keep their shows on archive.org. So far so good, but there may be some conflicts when they release their entire catalogue of live shows as actual records for purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeps Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 This double Jack bill would be great. Inglewood is a great band!On the subject of East support.Slammin Jack and What the Thunder Said --- Thursday, Jan 26 2006Peterborough, ON@ the Underdog Apparently Slammin Jack were spawned in Guelph.
