Blane Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 (edited) ok, admittedly less impressive than Jaimoe's thread...I was at Barfly here in town and watching a great jazz band, and met up with Brad Barr (of the Slip). Chatted with him for a bit and it appears he's trying to line up a number of both one-off and regular gigs around montreal for both the band and himself. The most concrete one being a Slip show at Mile End Cultural Centre in March (about 3 blocks from my door). HE's also working on some more regular gigs here with a sax player (who also plays with Broken Social Scene and the Stills) and solo in a tiny cafe down the street from me. I hope to hell these things pan out! Edited January 20, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms.Huxtable Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Blane, I'll take that over Robin Williams any day! You didn't happen to mention to him how much I love him did you? Good to hear he's thinking locally. I was starting to really wonder about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blane Posted January 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 yeah, I did give his ass a little pinch Apparently one of the reasons for the reluctance to play much locally so far is because of the paperwork which hasn't necessarily gone through yet from their move here and causes some potential issues. Anyhow he said he'd email if things get finalized so I'll be sure to keep you clamoring fans notified. Seriously though if solo acoustic gigs at Esparanza happen (the cafe) that'll be amazing. The place is sooo small. Probably could have a max attendance of 40 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Assuming they get their paperwork sorted out, is there any chance they'd consider playing Ottawa? It's only about a two-hour drive, and there'd be no border crossing issues. It'd also be a good (semi-)mid-way stop between Montreal and Toronto.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
