The Show:

A Paper Cup Band

Strange Friends

Running Scared

Fun Show. The last of the Strange Friends Mini Series. A Paper Cup Band is really great. Groovy and great songs. The Strange Friends have been a staple of my life as long as I can remember. I love their songs. The Running Scared is a new band featuring myself, Damien Tank, and Mike McCabe from the Fillmores. We sound pretty different. I like it. Rusty Detty from the Skinnys on vocals, and new comer Gloria Iacono on guitar. 

Tuesday November 18th Big V's

I need some new gloves. All I could find at Savers was a nice fur hat. I own a pile of hats, but this one was special. Had to buy it. So warm. 

The Show:

Big V's Big Music Trivia

featuring The Soft Rocks

Ron Rudlong, my partner in Mouth Babies, does a great Trivia night that no one ever goes to. This night we actually had enough contestants to do three rounds of Trivia. The questions are great, the prizes even better. The Soft Rocks are AWESOME. Check them out.

Sunday November 16th Dinkytowner Cafe

Its my brother Michael's 17th birthday today. I can't believe he is that old now. 

The Show:

Big Time Entertainment presents....

Too Many Hip Hop sets unbelievable. These shows are more of a head ache than anything. I keep doing them because A. I need the money B. I get a shift meal. By the way, to any local artists: Don't do anything by a "promotions company". EVER. Especially, if they contact you on myspace. No real booker books thru that. 

Saturday November 15th Dinkytowner Cafe

The Show:

Hip Hop

Wet Dragons

Ray Banderez

Kritical Kontact

and more...

Long night mixing tons of short hip hop sets. My friends The Wet Dragons are the rudest and silliest hip hop crew in Minnesota. Oh yes.

Friday November 14th Nomad World Pub

The Show:

10w40

Dallas Orbiter

Planet 9

The Nomad hosted a ton of gear. These bands rolled into the club with more gear than 8 bands. Sounded good(because I mixed it).  Thats all I remember.

November 13th Nomad World Pub

I drank a ton of coffee at May Day Cafe by my house and spent the day on the internet. 

The Show:

Military Special

Lucy Michelle and the Velvet Lapelles

Bouncer Fighter

Sarah Johnson

Lucy Michelle is doing what we can at the Nomad, the Miniseries. That means one headliner band plays every Thursday in a month. They book the supporting bands. Its a lot of fun. This month is Lucy Michelle. Sarah Johnson is a loud noise rock band, not usually my thing but these guys rule. Bouncer Fighter is great, Anti-Civ kids. They are epic and beautiful. Lucy is the Best. Ever. I love mixing their band. Its a lot to deal with on such a small stage. Drum, Upright bass, Cello, Accordian/violin/bells, Uke, Keyboards, acoustic guitar, electric guiar, 3 vocals. Some sound guys hate bands like that. But I like em. Holy Cap, I was blown away by Military Special. Good dance music. Fun Night, I wish they all could be like this.
