Happy Independence Day to our friends in the U.S.A.

Good gig at the Aspetta Caffe once again.

Brent, playing his 4th gig in 2 days.

Hey, we actually got a good photo of Immanuel.

...almost the whole band.

Port Restaurant – June 27

The Port Restaurant is right on the harbour at Frenchman’s Bay in Pickering. It has a gorgeous view and a really nice patio overlooking the harbour. We had the pleasure of playing there June 27.

Aspetta Caffe, June 20, 27

We played at the Aspetta Caffe again last night (June 20) and will play again on Pedestrian Day, June 27. Last night we played without a drummer and yet I was still able to ad-lib comfortably over the changes which is a testament to how tight Jon and Brent play together. Well done, guys!

We play again there on June 27 from about 5:30 pm until 8:00 pm.

SpiceSafar, June 9, 10

What can I say about our gig at SpiceSafar? It certainly was an interesting, if hectic, experience. Why hectic? Because we were asked to play 2 days before for one night and then we were asked to play again the next night. But the acoustics were great and we met some interesting people, including Dean the doorman and Greg the D.J.

Immanuel always seems to get lost in the photos. But he's there somewhere, just look closely.

Good acoustics and a nice ambience.

Greg the D.J. and Dee the doorman were interesting and amiable characters.

We will be playing at a preview opening of a new lounge at SpiceSafar, at 510 King St W. This was a last minute booking so a bit hectic managing the logistics. But we did figure out how to get two guitar amps, bass and guitar, PA system, full drum kit, stands, trumpet, music, and 4 musicians into a Hyundai Sonata

I'm loving the new mic.

Rose Theatre, May 28

The energy was good at the Rose Theatre last night. The guys were really into the playing and I think the audience was in a good mood because, again, we got a lot of good feedback.

Such a talented drummer at only 17.

Mr. Cool.

No he's not sleeping; he's into it.

Samples not working

I just discovered that our samples stopped working in Chrome and Firefox. Fortunately, a solution was found here:

We’re back up.

Speaking of which, we really do need to update those samples as well as get some that showcase Barry.

Last night we did the cocktail hour at the Rose Theatre’s annual subscriber appreciation gala. This was a nice change from previous cocktail gigs we’ve done because there were a surprising number of people who actually took the time to listen. We received some awesome feedback which is always great for the confidence of a developing band. We play there again today from 3:30-4:30 and again from 9:30-10:30.
