upcoming lkp dates

I heard the ad on the radio for our gig this coming Friday, and I guess we are the upper valley’s premiere dance and cover band.  Ok, if you say so.  We’ll take a good title when we can get it.  Regardless of our status on the list of bands that play in the upper valley, we are psyched to be back at Electra this coming Friday, and hope that we can see some old familiar faces along with some new ones out this weekend.

 

            The Brimmer rocked.  Simple, easy and the truth.  There were so many people on the dance floor that I thought they were all moving at once at some points.  Despite the fact that everyone starts out the night with the idea that they are out to have a good time, there are some tendencies to get bent out of shape when it is crowded.  I’m glad that the majority of people understand that people are just dancing and having fun, and that someone bumping into them is not a personal thing, and not to be angered by.  I’m also glad to see that the people who couldn’t play nice with others took their leave and got out of the kitchen, because the heat on the dance floor was pegged on high for the night!  Manchester gave us some old home days to deal with when former bandmates from college Keith and west coaster Andy showed up and made the night a cool little reunion.  Confirmation that my past statements may not have been completely accurate, I will accept my status as the true beeyotch, boys, and thanks for coming out and playing with us! 

 

Saturday night was looking a little slow at the matterhorn, as ski season is winding down, and the snow is starting to disappear.  Our next to last gig at the matterhorn for this season started off a little bit light, and then filled up as we got into the middle of the first set.  The ski bar filled up and was a blast for another night.  The interesting thing was our competition up the hill at the mountain.  National act, Blessid union of souls was playing up the street, and we would assume would be a big draw.  We would like to thank everyone for making us the band to see and the place to be at Sunday River.  My understanding was their gig was shut down early, and we had all the people that were out to have fun.  We’ll take our packed house this time, and I’m sure that a band with their national recognition will hand it to us on any given night.  We’ll just take our little night in the woods, and be happy with it, and hope that more people come and play with us again this weekend as we finish off the season on april fool’s day at the matterhorn.  We’ll be up and having fun this weekend, and we’ll be looking for your smiling faces in the crowd!
