We're bringing the Surly Young Bucks out of retirement for this show and we'll be playing all the hits as well as a whole bunch of 50's favourites for your dancing pleasure. DJ Top Down aka Mike Long will also be spinning 50's dance hits in between acts. We'll have shirts to sell for the first time and a new pressing of Dan's record Stars and Satellites - it's a super shoestring tour so we'd really appreciate your support on this night!

bradm Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 (Sat Apr 12 - TBA)Wasn't this already announced as being at Cafe Dekcuf, with James McKenty And The Spades?Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodRev Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 (edited) Indeed, but that date has unfortunately fallen through. The Spades will still be playing though, but I won't be there.I should mention that we're still looking for a show the night of the 12th...we'll play anywhere between Fredericton and Ottawa. Anybody who knows anybody out there - or who's out there themselves - and has any suggestions, please let me know.

dave-O Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 It's a shame your Moncton show is head-to-head with Buck 65's cd release, but I'll try to make it to both and say hello. Shotgun Jimmie is a hoot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What say you jambands? does one go on this tour and jeopardize finals?It'll be awful lonely on stage without you buddy...and I'll have to play a lot more guitar to cover your parts. But you gotta do what you gotta do, and Brad's right, there will be other tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Good news. I just looked it up, apparently the Buck 65 show starts at 8:00. Knowing the Paramount, your openers won't hit the stage until 11:15 or so...On another note, any chance you need another band for the Capital show in Freddy?http://www.myspace.com/TirelessSedans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodRev Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Yeah I was wondering what that was all about, e-mail from the promoter said first band at 11! Crazy.PM sent re: Fredericton, dave-o. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodRev Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Sorry Dave-o, looks like our bill in Fredericton is all sewn up.In case anybody is curious, Construction & Destruction and Shotgun Jimmie are on the Fredericton show as well, I simply hadn't realized.Is there anybody on this board from Fredericton?
