lkp upcoming dates

This is a busy one, and a fun one to boot. After a weekend off, consisting of painting the hallway on a Saturday night and hitting the couch before the start of the first set, I guess it’s time to crank it up. Halloween weekend was nuts. We had our first Friday at the Sky Lounge in Nashua, and it was a tough sell. We had a great time in the room, but sandwiched between Sox games and Halloween parties, we’re hoping that more people come out this month to check us out in this club. It should be a blast when there isn’t so much other stuff going on to compete with! That being said, the Blazer was filled with great costumes, lots of happy faces and some crazy antics. More in the awards as we get there…

This weekend should be one for the record books, Friday at Whips in Londonderry, Saturday at the Blazer with no costumes, and then a benefit on Sunday in Laconia at Goodfella’s tavern. The benefit is for the Vayda family. Some of you may have heard the story, some may not. Last fall, Bob Vayda was in a motorcycle accident that disabled him. His son Jerry came home to help run the family construction business. On New Years Eve, Jerry was struck and killed by a truck that was being driven by his best friend. The family is looking to finish an over the ground apartment to supplement their income, and LKP and other bands have been asked to help. Boston musician Gifford Campbell has organized this event. Some of you may know Gifford from playing in the Laconia area with the bands Lulu’s in Crisis, The Replicators and Grounds for Divorce. Gifford is one of those guys that has his heart in the right place, and we’re looking forward to helping out. By the looks of it, the schedule will be a sports memorabilia auction from noon to 1:30, and then bands throughout the afternoon and into the evening. Giff will be starting the day off, then Ground Cover, which consists of Jason’s brother, Keith; Kyle’s brother, Logan; and most of us from LKP. Their singer can’t make it, so Eric and I will be splitting the vocal duties, and Jay will hit some guitar to fill out a bunch of songs that we know, but never play in LKP! We’re looking forward to this midday set, and then cranking it up to finish the night. The event should be winding up somewhere in the 7 to 8 pm region. Donations at the door are slated for $10, and I’m assuming there will be the auction, raffles, etc. throughout the day. If you have the chance to come play with us and support a good cause, please do so. Check out the full press release link on our website, and additional info at www.goodfellastavernandgrill.com.
