True but strange

the three of us have gotten together once in the last 6 months but
two of us have played music at least 6 times in that time and it's possible
that we'll be playing as a band again!!!
Maybe not that strange but possibly true.

forgotten sparkelers

Thanks to Rash I've resurrected some old recordings and re-kindled some old forgotten sparks:}

Archives

I've been digging thru some old mixes of Quantum Mechanix era recordings and beginning to re-master some to diggital. Quantum Mechanix is the band that Michael and I were in the late 80's and there are hundreds of experimental/folk rock/jams and other pieces we recorded on 4 track back then. Some with other friends, some layered multi-track, most quite primitive but many are dear to my heart and ears.

I expect we'll be producing a retrospective sort of QM disc sometime.
If you're curious, Michael has posted some songs from those days plus a few newer ones for free download at soundclick.com

Muriel, Boh, Ceceilia & I


Glad to see some friendly faces! Marisa, Mike and Michael C.



We presented the minimalist rocky versions of our tunes and I'd do it again in a minute!
Thanks for the chance to finally perform,,in public,,, in front of the whole world(so to speak)

Matirx with Milroy Holler

Some pix of the show. Sorry about the poor lighting.

Smallish crowd but a good show.


TripleDogDare(the incredible shrunken band)



We made it thru as a duo with a few rough spots, and our usual quirkiness and then
Milroy Holler was phenomenal! Best I've ever seen them by far.
They played as a seven piece band with sax, 2 women singing backing vocals, some flute, keyboard, guitar, drum and bass and they were HOT.




Milroy Holler



Thanks to all and what a blast!

changes, again

It looks like we'll be performing as a 2 person trio called something like TripleDogDare, most likely for the last time under that name.

Michael and I rehearsed the tunes last week and they sound good this way for the most part.

So this will be the first time just the two of us have preformed together live. I'm excited about it.

It's more of a minimalist electric folk experimental rock formation. duo ( is that a genera?)

At any rate, it will be the last of one thing and the beginning of the next and I hope you can be there to bear witness ;-)

Milroy Holler has also gone thru a bit of a metamorphosis and is now a 6 piece band with keys, flute and more singers. I'm excited about hearing them too. It's going to be a completely different show than I originally imagined!

"a Dynamyte Show!"

Flutterby's anyone?

It's confirmed! We're on for May 3rd.
Come on over and Trip the Light Phantastique.
What the hell, life is a cabaret!

May 3rd at the Matrix!

We've got a gig lined up with MILROY HOLLER on May 3rd. 8pm show I think.
We hope to record it again.

random Feb. bloggage

Tomorrow is TripleDogDare rehearsal day. (still ambivalent about that name)
Pete has been in contact with Moon from The Matrix about setting up a gig. Scheduling 2 bands/ containing 7 guys with work and life schedules is more complicated than we wish it were.
It’s looking like it won’t be till May sometime now. We won’t know for another week since Pete left for Arizona Tuesday. I’m hopeful that all these little setbacks are for a good reason and when the show finally happens that it is gratifying.
We'll need to assemble more Virtual Radio cd’s and I'm going to put together a limited edition jam disc too. Say 10 copies or so. 

Michael’s laptop crashed last week and he’s lost a bunch of work from the last couple months. That also probably means we won’t be uploading much more to the Dreamtime in Dreamsville project before the deadline on the 29th. I haven’t been able to bring myself to focus on recording my Fever Dream song anyhow. Too many distractions and other projects that need to be attended to. Many others that I haven’t yet gotten to as well. Car issues, job issues, pottery, house and garden need work, etc. etc.

Next weekend we’re going to Leavenworth with my parents for a couple of days too.
