Biggest Fan Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 bradm thanks for the link... I know where I am going to be 12/01. Fantastic. My wife has been wanting me to take her to a (any) show for a while... PERFECT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevO Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Ahhhh I was hoping this wouldn't happen -- I'm just missing the Ontario tour. I'm coming home on December 14th... UNLESS that show on the 16th happens in Southern Ontario somewhere. Fingers are crossed!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Photogeek Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Just noticed that on the nufunk website that the 16th is announced for Mavericks in Ottawa...should make some folk on this board happy KevO not so much :crazy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 The Slip @ Mavericks on Saturday, Dec. 16, then Lauzon @ Swizzles on Sunday, Dec. 17. Should be a good weekend. Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 The Elmo is a perfect venue to see a band, especially for the first time. I can't wait to see The Slip, a band I know nothing about other than owning one average CD and reading many testimonials over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Here's hoping the Slip blows up huge and I can see them at a decent venue in Ottawa sometime.December 16 is gonna be messy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 For the size of crowd they'll draw, is Mavericks not a decent venue? (And if they blow up huge, what would you think would be a decent venue for them? I guess the next step up would be The Rainbow or Barrymore's; would they count as decent venues?)Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Barrymore's has a stage and sightlines, multiple bars, professional staff... Rainbow is good too.Maverick's has a crappy sound-dude, one bar which is understaffed, poor sightlines, barely a stage, and sometimes a shower overhead.The last Lovely Feathers show at Maverick's was sold out in advance with a lineup down the block. Now they are opening....Just seems odd. The unadvertised Slip show during Bluesfest half-packed the bar, now there's promo, a new album, a heavyweight opener...This isn't sour grapes, I'm glad the band is coming back. I just think the venues people book them in suck. Good thing the rich folk get the publicly funded multi-million dollar concert hall on Elgin, and the rest of the populace still have to go to Babylon and Maverick's....(Is that concert hall still a go, or has it been cancelled?)Big ups to the promoter for thinking of Ottawa, regardless of where they play I'll be there.

Equally pleased and fortunate to have them in town. Would really have loved to have them play on a proper stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 I'm not sure which dates Lovely Feathers are supporting. I don't sense it was part of the offer for Guelph can't say for other towns. I'd rather a really short opener and two sets of the Slip. We've earned it.JayMan> I'm not sure if you'll see this or an email first but off the top of my head there are these errors in the release:Berklee College of Music not Berkely"From The Gecko" not "Geko"Collaborators not however the fuck it's spelt.I think those are the only errors I can think of off hand. Also you formatted MarcBrad and Marc's name is missing below - it's just chunked on above it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Yeah, it would be great if someone could look into the Lovely Feathers dealio.Confirm or deny that they're playing, that kind of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weirdness Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Damn!!! Looks like we're going to need a bigger bandwagon here... (no pun intended)Now then, should I sell my MMW+Scofield tix for Saturday night in Chicago or consider that seeing The Slip repeat 3/4 of their show each night will be too much to stomach?A fun little run regardless and a good excuse to check out O-town for a change as well...

bradm Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 I'd be tempted to do MMSW, Weirdness, especially if you can do at least one of the other two nights of The Slip.And if you come to Ottawa for Dec. 16, David Lauzon is playing the next night at a little place downtown.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 I think those are the only errors I can think of off hand. Also you formatted MarcBrad and Marc's name is missing below - it's just chunked on above it.Yeah, I did that when I was trying to float the images (fixed). I also added the Jambands.ca partnership for Ottawa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Yeah, it would be great if someone could look into the Lovely Feathers dealio.Confirm or deny that they're playing, that kind of thing.I'm certainly trying to find out that information. I'm pretty sure The Slip could nearly sell out Maverick's on their own for a Saturday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
