bradm Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 I just checked the James McKenty And The Spades website, and they list that they're doing a free show at Mavericks in Ottawa on Saturday, July 1. Note to self: don't burn self out at THAT PLACE on Canada Day, save some self for The Spades.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gateaux Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Chances of me making it to a bar this year are probably 1 in a 1000. I've failed the last two or three years and i hope this one is different but i'll fizzle out guaranteed!!! Wether it's Calamity Jane drenching me with booze or knocking out my darlin something will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted May 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 In years past, it's ended around 10pm, or when the beer runs out. At that point, a lot of people head down to Parliament Hill for the fireworks.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freak By Night Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 I've yet to experience a Canada Day at THAT PLACE. Any word on when tix will be available? Or is it even happening this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted May 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 10pm ending = no schwa. thanks for the heads up.Is that because you wouldn't be able to get here by/before 10pm? (If it matters, the party usually starts about 1pm - 2pm.)Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeker Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 We will be hiring door security but it will be for you not by you CJ. For those interested in VIP access refer to 31 Harvey St. I repeat no one is allowed in the house on Canada Day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted May 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 I repeat no one is allowed in the house on Canada Day! One helpful addition would be a special area (ideally inside behind closable, if not lockable, doors) for bands to stash their music gear. Even a tent (not that it's going to rain... ) with a staffed table and check-in/-out tickets, maybe? Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted June 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 According tohttp://jamesmckentyandthespades.com/forum/index.php?s=4232bbb4e90bb89338dea3698b5b8d89&showtopic=988a band from Athens, Georgia called The Late BP Helium will be opening up for James McKenty And The Spades at Mavericks on Canada Day (night).Aloha,rad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the spades Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Dr. J here (on James' computer) recovering from a night of rock 'n roll madness at the Montreal House here in Peterborough. Bradm's previous analysis of the Late J. P. Helium Band was quiite accurate - straight ahead guitar driven rock with some interesting change-ups thrown in. Good stuff. Great new song by The Spades called The Next Round. Talks about sitting in the same places you've sat for years and promising yourself to leave right after the next round. To the folks headed to That Place today. Ask the boys to play The Sonics tune for you (I don't know the name). It's a shitload of of rock 'n roll fun! Have a good one, folks! Hope to see some of you tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. J Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Great night!Best version of O Canada I've ever heard. James atop a three foot monitor his guitar leading the way and everybody....and I mean everybody.... in Mavericks Bar belting out our national anthem with a force and a pride I've seldom encountered. I'll remember that moment for a long, long time. Salut Ottawa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 The Spades were a real treat at That Place yesterday. I was very happy to have finally experienced them. I got some more shots worthy of posting, but I didn't anticipate how many photos I'd take throughout the day. I have alot of work to do to get them organized for viewing.Dr. J, I was hoping to meet you but I guess we can't always be at the same place at the same time. Maybe I'll see you on the 12th at Maverick's after Bluesfest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll see you on the 12th at Maverick's after Bluesfest? Looking forward to the photos, bouche. Was thinking seriously of trying to make it to That Place, but being in Peterborough at the MoHo on Friday nite and wanting to be at Mavericks on Saturday, I knew if i tried to party in between, this ole body would start to kick up a helluva fuss missed seeing some familiar faces at Mavericks, but with the BNB show on Friday and an all-day party on Saturday, I completely understand why. Next time. And yeah still keeping the 12th in mind as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
