kc Posted April 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Tonight shall be a blast. Speaking of a blast. Beware that King William st. between James and Hughson will be closed. That is the block of street that we are on. You can still go down hughson though, and the parking lot right next to us is open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute_Route Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Wow what a great night. The new drummer sounded great and the band sounded really on. Second set really rocked. Great song selection. A lot of older ones that I haven't heard for a long long time. One or two fine sounding new ones I think as well.........Any one record this????

MarcO Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Ed sounded great, he demonstrated a lighter touch than Adam, which I appreciated. Best fat Cats show I've seen in quite a while actually.The soundguy at PJC - I believe his name is Doug (?) - is just awesome. He filled the room nice and loud but not obnoxiously so and you could hear the vocals and instruments with true clarity. Kudos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drawbar Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Thanks to everyone for coming out.We had a blast playing for you guys on Saturday. Murphy band was sounding pretty sweet as well. It was a pleasure to share the stage with those guys. It's also great to have Ed on board. Maybe next time we can mix it up a bit between the bands and have a big jam. Thanks again.

\/\/illy Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Any one record this???? Indeed. From my preliminary listen it sounds really good. I'll try to get around to converting/labelling/uploading to archive.org quickly but I'm pretty swamped these days so no promises. I'm going to need a setlist for sure. There were a lot of songs I don't know by name. BTW, I thought it was a great show too! What a blast. Ed ruled that kit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edger Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Hey folks. It was GREAT to get out the other night. Even though it really hasn't been "that" long, it had seemed like an eternity. I quickly lost my voice early in the night from trying to catch up with everyone.Soo good to get to rattle the ol' bones again. I unfortunately didn't get to see the second fattie's set, as I had to get home to my wee lad, but what I did get to see of both bands was great.Willy, I can probably help you out with most of the song titles...In the first set there were a few tunes we hadn't heard in a while including "Waiting for Spring", as well as "As Much as This" and "Too Many Choices", the latter of which are off of Cruelty's Cure. They also played Todd's "relatively" new song which I think he's called "Tryin' to Never Know" and Gatch's new tune, but I'm not sure what that is called. I know they closed the first set with "Doobie Break"' as well. Hope that helps for the time being.Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
