Hey man,

I honestly don't want to steal anyone's thunder. I just didn't want to post the same pics in two threads.

If you met me in person you'd probably be a bit surprised. I'm pretty gentle a guy and tend to have a very positive manner when interacting with other players.

Your pic looks great by the way.:food-smiley-004:

Little known fact:
This was taken at this past weekend's Vfest.... If you look closely, my lip is swolen.. I was stung by a bee on my lip 30 mins before our set time. He was just chilling on a can of redbull i had in my hand, went for a sip, and WHAM! I was stung and my lip swelled up like a retard.

Its cool... some people pay good money to have plump full lips. No pain no gain!

The Jett shot was taken at the Empire Hotel in Timmins. The Empire was long one of the standard stomping grounds for club bands touring in the 70s and 80s. The place got packed every night.

This is another shot from the same club.

The Wellington in Barrie every six weeks for years. Also the Talbot Inn (Mingles) in London every six weeks. Then the occasional Ridout gig mixed in with the odd Fryfogels night. How bout the Downtowner (Towndowner) in Owen Sound. The Knob Hill (KNOBBY) in Scarborough and of course the Gasworks.

Well I've done Mingles, and the Gasworks, but we used to travel a lot so we really didn't play ANYwhere every six weeks, more like every sixteen weeks.

I did a lot of touring up north and out west throughout the 80s.

How about The Eastgate in Sault St Marie, The Westfort and Sleeping Giant in Thunder Bay, The Alexanders in Brantford, The Brig in Dover, et cetera, et cetera?

Jesus, I probably saw you at either Mingles or Fryfogels. Loved Fryfogels, my wife and I met there come to think of it. My wife was good friends/went to school with the guitar player from the Little Boy Blues band, who used to play there quite a bit. Great guitar player, nickname was "coon", real name I think was Dave McClean.

I played there with many bands, Sweet Blindness, The Virtues, etc. but mostly with Lizzie Bordon. Sort of 1980-83' for that band.

It is.

I was born and raised in NB and in apite of having now spent more of my life in Ontario than I did in NB, I still see my self as an East Coaster and wanted to pay tribute to my roots and heritage.

Since that picture was taken I have also had a new Tatt applied which reflects my Mi'kmac heritage. I don't have a good shot of it yet.

:food-smiley-004:

[Milkman]

I'm just curious, I've noticed your drummer wearing headphones in most of your photos. Is that just for monitoring, or do you guys sequence stuff?

My drummer has a congenital problem with his inner ears. He has had numerous surgical procedures to try and offset and correct the problem. Those are hearing protection, not phones.

We do not use sequencing or tracks of any kind at our shows. I don't believe in it. I'd rather hear a band with some missing musical elements than a quasi-karaoke performance, but that's just my tastes.

The only reference feed we have ever used is a click track in the studio.

[flashPUNK]

Man, it really bugs me when I see bands bringing in a huge road case filled with computers, sound cards, etc etc....

I can think of specifically one time in Hamilton at Club Absinthe (a relatively small venue, with an equally small stage) where the band we played with carried in a huge road case with a Powermac G5 computer + all the hardware most studio's would LOVE to have.

My apologies to the band if you're on this board, but I think it added much to be worth rigging the whole place with all your hardware etc.

+1 to Milkman for keeping it real!

Thanks man. I'm all for technology, but I draw the line at playing to tracks or using sequencers. Every note you hear at our shows, good, bad, or otherwise is being generated by one of the guys on stage.

[Milkman]

That sucks.



I kind of figured that, with the type of music you guys play, sequencing would be rather odd. I'm OK with in in certain contexts, but not so much for a rock show. And certainly not for a folk show. I just saw Buffy St. Marie at the Edmonton Folk Fest this year, and she relied very heavily on prerecorded parts. Talk about inappropriate! She had a full band with her too. I was completely disgusted when the guitar player air-guitared a solo that was obviously prerecorded. Lame.


I did a benefit on Saturday for cancer research. Most of the performers used tracks.

I got up with my keyboardist and we did spartan arrangements of seven or eight songs with no tracks or fake drummers. I guess it's a matter of taste.

We went over very well.

[Paul]

James Taylor has used a reel to reel for backing tracks for one or two songs. It's on a table right next to him. In his show, in context, it works.

There was a YouTube of a guy playing all 5 parts of Les Paul's Lover using a looping pedal. That's pre-recorded, if you consider the notes you played less than 3 minutes ago pre-recorded. That's a cool use of technology, and I approve.

The sax player I work with and I have decided that we will NOT use tracks. There are lots of acts that do, and there are lots of reasons to use them, but none of those reasons apply to me. I refuse to become the next Guitaraoke Hero.

I fear 3 things:

1) Change.
2) Groups of teenagers and other young thugs/ruffians/hooligans.
3) Technology going bad. The performance of Jump at the opening night of the current VH tour is evidence enough to me to avoid any reliance on that kind of technology.

That said, In the Air Tonight would not work without the drum machine. In that tune it's part of the vibe. The creative use of tape loops by Pink Floyd and others is a cousin of backing tracks, but much less objectionable to me.

I prefer real music played by real musicians.

[flashPUNK]

Not really speaking about "background music" for within songs..... but I effin' love it when bands have opening music....

I think one of the most immersing concert experience i've had was at an Our Lady Peace concert on their "Naveed" tour way back in the mid 90's... They started the show with a short film, and carried the theme of the film throughout the concert, showing clips of this movie....

During our concert series with 54-40 over the summer around the GTA, they opened every show with the "Darth Vader" music from Star Wars, then jumped right into a song.... it was pretty cool, and caught everyone's attention.

We've used opening music, actually more of a spoken word kind of thing, with the sound of birds as a show opener a few times... I think its gone over well, kind of lets the audience know that the main act is coming on, and aligns them with what is going on, on the stage.

[Starbuck]

I checked out your blog.. And now I have to ask.. Did you get the magic Bullet? :smile:

[iaresee]

Not really speaking about "background music" for within songs..... but I effin' love it when bands have opening music....
Hell yea! Nothing focuses a crowds attention quite like some interesting visuals and some intro music. With The Apollo Effect we'd use extended versions of the droning keyboard off our tune Your Finest Hour (http://theapolloeffect.com/2.0/media/mp3/album/clips/01-your_finest_hour.mp3) or the keyboard/noise sample introduction to Away (http://theapolloeffect.com/2.0/media/mp3/album/clips/04-away.mp3) and some NASA footage of the moon and stuff going into space and things blowing up with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin's audio clips mixed mixed in. Worked like a snake charmers flute on a cobra for grabbing attention. (Man, that was a horrible analogy!) There's always that tension about all that technology falling apart right at the start of a show, but man when it worked it was awesome.

We use recorded bagpipe (and drum)music to walk on and for larger shows we actually use a live piper. You want to get people's attention? Have a piper lead you on stage. It's bloody amazing! It's a bit like Moses parting the Red Sea.

It also get's the band's blood up pretty good.:rockon:

I use a stand for every gig. In my line it's acceptable. Brian Setzer had an interview in International Musician the other month. Some of the new Brian Setzer Orchestra charts are so involved, (30 to 40 pages), he's using a stand on stage.

But Milkman wil agree with you!

It depends on the genre and how you want to present yourself. For jazz or classical music it's fine. For a rock show I think it looks pretty mickey mouse, but that's just my opinion.


I prefer to have the set list on the floor where I can see it but the audience can't. Lyrics? I do the best I can without the stand. For the type of show I present it wouldn't be the right image at all.

Also, what I do is what I do, not what I think others shouls do.

No offense taken. :food-smiley-004:

One thing this forum really lacks is a sense of humour. Your comment just gave me an idea to poke some fun at myself. We live for this kind of stuff at another guitar forum I belong to.

Which forum - it sounds like a lot of fun? Not Harmony-Central, right ?

I take it that's Annette hovering above the singing drummer?

[PaulS]

She's looking good..... :D

I think it might be Yvonne Craig.

......and of course one great looking, playing, sounding EB/MM Albert Lee guitar. Still enjoying it I see !!!!!
On another note.....Do I see Dave Clarke on the bass!!!!!! Dave is an old friend of mine. Used to be our FOH mixer. I haven't seen him for years. Please say hi to him from Pete Faragher. I'd love to get in touch with him.

Cheers

Hi Pete. Yup , the Albert Lee MM is my favorite guitar, after my Wolfgang!
Wow, you know Dave! He has been our bass player for a year now! Great guy!

I see a jc - 120 in the background, cool amp. I had one back in the 90's, i loved the chorus , but wasnt too happy with the overdrive. I a/b'd with a marshall with good results for a few years.

So did I and I suspect quite a few others did as well. The JC120 for cleans and a Marshall for dirt was one of my favourite conventional rigs and served me well for several years.:food-smiley-004:

Yup, that's exactly what my co-guitarist is using is his setup, JC120 on the bottom and JMP 50 on top!

[Mooh]

Brings back memories doesn't it! That dual amp set up was probably the best I ever had except mine was a Jazz Chorus/Princeton pair. Slowly working my way back to a similar arrangement.

Peace, Mooh.

Nice shots Torndownunit! Very old school! I like it!

What venue is that?

[Bob Rock]

My band Classic Havoc on New Years Eve

[torndownunit]

Ok, venues

a club in Montreal I can't remember the name of
the old El Mocambo
The Blue Moon (Queen East)
and the black and white is from the Horseshoe

We played pretty regular at those places (and Sneaky Dee's, Silver Dollar, Tequila Lounge, The B-side) for about 7 years. We have been on hiatus for 3.

flashpunk i saw a bunch of your pics man, very cool stuff! I love the opera house! We were going to play there in early last summer but the gig fell through... as usuall. Hahaha it looks like you've played with some pretty big caliber bands, and it looks like you're in one yourself! I'm going to check out your tunes this aft when I get some time. Who have you gigged with? The only toronto bands we've played with are illscarlett and down with webster, never ending white lights but i think most of them are from windsor?

[darreneedens]

Here are some photos of my show last night in london ontario. First time I have ever played 2 shows in one night... I was pretty sober for the first one at about 9:30.... But I was on at 12:30.... and had a few by that point, so needless to say, none of those pics turned out lol.
