We've got a "reunion" gig in Austin, TX (our hometown) on February 17th at a place called Trophy's (it's a dive bar on South Congress, but it's where some of the first gigs were played and it's one of our friends/family's favorite places.

It will be the first gig for the band with me as their drummer - we'll be playing a lot in Austin through March/April, then doing a stint in the Northeast in the late spring.

Sunday, February 13th @ CBGB's (NYC... duhh). very excited, never played there before.

Any Toledo or Southern Michigan DC'ers?  I'll be at "Prime Time" in North Toledo Friday and Saturday 3/11,12/05 with JADED  www.jadedrocks.net  Check it out, I'll buy you a beer.

[TheAudiophobe]

Only gig worth mentioning is a 4-stage music festival at my college on April 23rd.  Both bands I'm playing for (one adult alternative/pop, one Springstein-esque) will be playing on the main day stage.  Less Than Jake, Allister, and Hidden In Plain View will be there too.

Woot.

[KevinD]

For any NY area DC'ers. The band Doctor Son has asked me to sit in for their absent drummer on Saturday night, 3/26 for a headlining 11:30 show at the C Note in NYC. So it looks like I'll once again be bringing my hackneyed style and mediocre skills to a live venue. They are a really  good band though, good songwriters too, they've been making a name for themselves in the tri state area, which makes me wonder why they asked me to play with 'em???

[Bart Elliott]

OK, I'm pretty sure nobody on this board is close enough to come to Athens, Ga for this show but, I'm pretty psyched about it so, I'm going to post it, anyway.

Slippery People, the Talking Heads cover band, is playing at the Georgia Theater in Athens on Friday, April 22nd.  http://www.georgiatheatre.com/

This is our first real concert venue (as in not just another bar) kind of show and we're headlining this show!  

(the sad news is that there is some possibility that this might also be our last show together - a couple of our players are leaving town earlier than we expected.)

Anyway, if you want to be on the guest list, send me a message.  (Sorry, I do not have a place for you to crash.)

==================
after the show update:
Wow!  This place gave us the "star treatment" - never had that before.  Dressing room with stocked 'fridge, towels, plasma TV, private bathrooms, etc.  The sound was incredible!  For the first time ever, I had my own monitor - the monitor console (on stage with a separate sound guy) was twice as big as the biggest house console we'd every played with!  

When we came down the stairs to take the stage for our show, we we're shocked!  The place was packed and the crowd started going crazy - never in my life have I gotten such a reception BEFORE we played a note!

Truly one of the best times I have ever had playing and I didn't even play that well.

Any of you guys who are touring - come to Athens and play the Georgia Theatre - you will love it!

I have an advantage over some! I have a web page just for the dates! Just point, click and ROCK ya'll!

My band is playing a local Bowling alley this Friday around 8:30.  Lots of relatives/ people i know will be there.
I'm a little nervous, but not really about my playing.  We've been doing the same songs for about 5 months now, and our lead singer still is forgetting lyrics!  
All should go well.  If the lead singer does make mistakes, the rest of the band will go on with the song, so its not like the embarrasment would be on MY playing.  
This is also a good opportunity for me to get myself out there as a musician for other bands looking for "new Talent".  It's also nice to be playing with people twice my age and playing FOR people in that same group.  It lets me prove myself, and that i can keep my own among more experienced players.

Anyways, that's our earliest up-coming gig, and the first one in this particular city.  And Prom is the next night!  Plus i play with the school jazz band tomorrow and wednesday.  I'm having a good outlook on this week! :)

[rdmitch]

Sounds like a busy week coming up for you, wish you the best for the gigs, don't let the singer messing up throw you. Just keep your ears and eyes open and the band can hold it together.

Just got word today that we have been selected to kick off the TOPS Great American Rib Cook Off and Music Festival at Tower City Ampitheater in Cleveland on Friday May 27th.  Sponsored by Tops Grocery Stores and WGAR 99.5 FM this will be our second year at this event.  Anyone in the area is welcome to come on by.  We have 4 gigs this weekend and it should prove interesting.    With over 110 jobs booked for 2005 to date I plan on NO rest !!
