bradm Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 No. I got to Divan Orange about 8pm, and it was closed, locked, with the lights off and nobody home. I stuck around until about 9:45pm (with jahdawg and his wife showing up about 9:15pm) hoping someone (the band, the bar staff, whatever) would show up, but nobody aside from a few other disappointed fans did. There was no note or anything saying what had happened to the show (e.g., that it had been cancelled, or had been moved). The display case at the entrance said their hours were 4pm - 3am (Divan Orange is a neighbourhood watering hole, open most of the day, more like Irene's, than a dedicated music venue that only opens at showtime, as Babylon does), and they had a calendar print-out which said Marco Benevento for Sept. 27; their website also still lists the show.If anybody needs me, I'll be over in the corner, growling.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsamuel3 Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 hm i remember last time the trio played in montreal in may, marco told me they had some trouble at the border which is why the show was late. maybe there was some REAL trouble this time...doesn't seem like the kind of show that will be re-scheduled given its marco's only canadian stop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that it's a neighbourhood watering hole that's open every Sunday night, I'd have expected it to still be open even if Marco had called and cancelled.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blane Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 very strange indeed. I dont' think i"ve ever come across the Divan shut on a regular night. Perhaps some issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I e-mailed Divan Orange, and they replied that the band had a problem with a visa when they tried to enter Canada, so they had to cancel the show. They apologized for not having any notice put up at the bar.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
