lkp upcoming dates

Lots to talk about this week, as I kinda missed it last week. We had a killer weekend in Maine, tons of new faces and a lot of the familiar ones up there. we’ve got one more weekend coming up on the 10th and 11th of august, so make your plans early and come up to maine to play! We hung out at a private party on Winnipesaukee on Friday, and despite the heat, had a great time. Thanks, Brian and the crew for having us back after all these years. Saturday rolled in to Sunapee harbor for a little fun at the Anchorage. We had a great crowd, lots of folks in the harbor, a huge wedding up the hill, and plenty of revelry on the shores of Sunapee. Thanks to all those that came out and danced their heads off all night. We wish that the Ank went to 1, but the town makes the bands stop at midnight. I hope the night wasn’t too short, and that the 2 long set method worked better. We had a lot of fun, and the weather held out for the few that came by boat. More sun! let’s get some summer in here!

On Tuesday, I had the chance to go see the Police down in Connecticut. What a show. I want that light show. Um, can I borrow a couple mil and some trucks? The band sounded fantastic, the lights and sound more than made up for the fact that Sting, Andy and Stewart didn’t move much. Of course the fact that they are a 3 piece that sounds huge might mean that they have their hands full, so I’m not going to complain at all. My only negative was the tool in front of us in his white rimmed sunglasses – hello, the 80’s called, and they don’t want you back either – standing up talking on his cell phone trying to wave to his friends in worse seats. I guess I can’t fault him for being too dumb to notice that a band was playing, so we’ll just have to let him wallow in his own little world of loserdom. Copeland reminded me of why I like his playing – tight, snappy and dead on. Sting’s vocals were as good as the old days, despite 25 years, and Summers’ guitar was muddy at first and got much better as the night went on. Well worth the price of admission.

This weekend, we’ll be taking Friday off for a little r and r. Maybe we’ll get a chance to go see some other bands! I always have great plans, but end up asleep at like 9, and never make it out. We’ll be back at the Brimmer on Saturday, for the first time in a long time. Come on out and celebrate the dog days of summer and we’ll party like it’s, well, 2007.

The awards go to:

The better door than a window award goes to the above mentioned cheesy sunglasses at night wearing, stage blocking uberdouche.

The handy feature award goes to the showers complete with all the accoutrements at our gig on Friday. Made me smell like an old golfer, though.

The domino award goes to the birthday girl on Saturday, whose friends wanted her closer to the stage and proceeded to knock a bunch of peeps over in front of us!

The where’s my beer award goes to Julie. If it gets knocked over on top of the speakers, you can bet it is now far away from the stage.

And the narcolepsy award goes to the neighbors, hope we didn’t keep you up with our music!
