Booche Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT???????? How close is this to the Radiohead site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blane Posted June 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 by taxi, 10-15mins depending on traffic. It's about 6-8 blocks north of the old Swimming venue. Pretty small hall (200 people max?). The show is part of the Montreal Fringe Fest and it's not up on the slip website or anywhere else. Maybe the Barr boys' attempt to get into the montreal market a bit more?

bradm Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Make sure you rotate the layers: the ones that have never been in direct contact with your groin don't count.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blane Posted June 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 i'll be interested in hearing what this sounds like. No bass? Could be ominous news about the future of the slip though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 I have a feeling that they could get a bass quite easily. Hiway Freeker's bass player seems to be tight with the Barr's. hmmmm ... guest bass ist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blane Posted June 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 (edited) http://www.montrealfringe.ca/fringe2006/club.shtmlscroll way down the page. Actually, I totally have last night's thunderstorms to blame for learning about the show. I was waiting for the rain to stop at a falafel shop and flipping through the free newspapers there. The fringe calendar was one of them and bingo, the slip show staring me in the face. kinda lucky since they don't seem to be doing any promo.

At that point tickets will only be available at the door of the venue. Once the central box-office closes (see schedule below), tickets are only available for purchase at the venue. There will always be 25% of all tickets reserved for sale exclusively at the venue. Over the phone, we accept VISA and MASTERCARD; at the box office, we accept VISA, MC, INTERAC and CASH; and at the venue, we accept CASH only. SERVICE CHARGES APPLY TO ALL TICKETS- Add $3 over the phone, $2 at the box office, and $1 at the venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 yup yup what? M are you coming? Yup to your guess correct re: bass. Thinking of coming -- was partying w/ felber (bassist) last weekend and he mentioned this gig. It sounds like good times. I may try and hop a ride back to Montreal w/ the other fella after the Radiohead Toronto show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
