Last night's gig

ElfDude · Post by **ElfDude** » Tue Aug 05, 2008 8:48 am

We were thinking of:

- The Band You're About To Hear

- Jimmy and the Heardsmen

- The Chordvettes

but definitely not The Tempos

So Gifted Shifter is definitely out then?

How 'bout Cake Batter Swing?

Actually, it might turn out to be Cap'n Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters...

How 'bout "Live Bait"?

(kicked that one around some years ago while in a punk band.)

"Live Canadian Night Crawlers" was already taken.

We settled for MTSOB, but I cannot EVEN tell you what that means here.

I'd have to PM it to you. It's sure to ruffle feathers if I post it.

Does it mean "Empty Sons Of Bitches?"

And indeed it will.

We had our one and only rehearsal last night. Those two kids we played with (the drummer is a junior in high school) are really good. Picked up on the songs really quick. Should be a fun little set, though a bit rough around the edges.

One moment made me feel old... the drummer was completely unfamiliar with the song Twist and Shout. Someone's parents aren't doing their job!

This gig sounds like it's going to be so much fun! I hope everything goes smoothly and you make some great memories.

So often I feel like the younger gen have missed out on so much. I mean, how can they survive without knowing who Sgt. Schultz is or being able to sing all the words to Starship Trooper? Dag.

Or...hearing "I Wanna Be Sedated" for the first time!

True. True.

Of course... I 'm sure my dad's generation laments how much I missed out on.

My 17 year-old went out and bought a best of The Ramones CD last year.

Musical "education" comes in many forms (except rap. Rap is CRAP.)
Good deal Elf! The torch is passed yet again.

I swear, for no reason, I was singing this song as I put on my socks this morning. Trippy.

And I have been singing it in my head since reading the first post about it.

The Question caught me completely off guard with this song tonight. I love this band!
Looking forward to seeing them again Saturday night and warming up for them as well.
