mrsomethingx2 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Mr. Something Something will be opening for Baltimore's Kick-ass soul/funk messengers Fertile Ground tomorrow night (Feb 1st) at the Babylon in Ottawa. You don't want to miss this night... Added Bonus: due to a promotional error tickets have been dropped to $15!! Eventhough it's a Wed- you should be there. Mr. SS kicks it off around 9:30pm.www.mrsomethingsomething.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Sweet! IIRC, Nick Ali is sitting in on trumpet with Mr.SS, which just adds to the bonus.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothedShredder Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 I might actually make it up for this, and may stick around for the SoulJazz Orchestra the next night... Ottawa roll call? Gotta make it back for WTTS and Chameleon at the Gypsy on Friday though, so it's going to be brief.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Gotta scope this out... it might well be one of us or the other....(Some day they'll let 5-year olds in to dance, like you'd expect any civilised country to do.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothedShredder Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 I know... this whole, waiting until 9:00 or later to go see good live music, only seeing music in venues that have liquor liscence, 9-5 culture really bothers me. But it's gotta start somewhere... hope to see you out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Hey there,whoever went to this, do you know where William (SmoothedShredder) ended up last night? He is staying at my house but another guest locked the door and he wouldn't have been able to get in.... Let's hope he crashed with someone else?Anyone know?AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Oops! It wasn't a warm night last night either. Here's hoping something worked out. What a great pair of bands! We only caught the tail end of SS's set, but they were spot on, and I throughly enjoyed Fertile Ground - holy polyrhythm! I had the hardest time deciding whether to dance and lose myself in it, or sit perfectly still and have my mind blown away. If they come back, I do hope the room is fuller than it ended up being (granted, cold Wed. night and all, but still).How'd the recording turn out, btw?

meggo Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 ya! although i did opt for the sit, had a good time. that singer was something to watch! also a sighting of snelly and Old Crazy Snelly in one place... eeeeeerie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 I found Will, he's alive and didn't have to sleep in his car.In case you were all wondering...AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Good to hear a few Ottawa peeps were able to check out FG. Hopefully you could see the hype was justified. They're an expensive band to bring up AND are virtually off the radar for the concert going public, this board included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 I was very impressed by FG (although they sort of face-planted into cheeze at one point late in the show, when they had people sing "Fertile Ground" along with them; it kind of broke the abstract/spiritual thing they had going). The keyboard player flat-out floored me, especially because he was also doing the bass lines.It was a short set, though, probably about one (full) CD. I managed to clear recording with the promoter, and I think it came out pretty nice. It'll be mono (due to the mic placement), but I think everything'll be there.I'm going to send a copy to the band first, and then let them decide what, if anything, they're cool with me doing with it. If they don't want me to copy it for friends, I won't.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_rawk Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Only caught one song of Mr. S², but yeah, Fertile Ground was pretty cool. I agree with bradm, though ... the whole getting the crowd to sing/chant the band name is super cheese, and I wish they (or anyone else) wouldn't do it.Definately worth checking out, and man oh man, is that woman comfortable in her body or what? She's got the moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Jane Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Definately worth checking out, and man oh man, is that woman comfortable in her body or what? She's got the moves. like I said...incredibly delicious eye-candy, that's for sure. That ultra-sexy mama had me so hot by the end of the night, ALL meanings intended!ps glad Will didn't end up in his car. How lucky didja get Will?
