Lake (sapphire remix)

Joe, it’s time for you to rock the Jheri curls and white lace gloves my friend…

Boyd Shropshire played a great set as usual, Bandname was actually alright despite hailing from Philly (and the bassist played her bass upside down and lefthanded!) and I had fun playing yesterday!  I got a massive tambourine bruise on my thigh during the FTR song.  I guess we were really rockin’ out.

Sunday night was one for the ages.  We played a free show at Bruar Falls the way shows ought to be: with handpicked friends filling out the line up!  Last King of England opened the evening with gusto and Boyd Shropshire followed us with a gorgeous set.

Bob, our portable recording device, recorded snippets of our show from the soundbooth.  Here’s a new song we debuted at the show called “Lanterns”: listen to the mp3 while you read and viddy the pictures..

Here’s Last King of England, who kindled the Sunday evening fires with solo songs,  then shifted gears half-way into the set when our own Tyler backed him up on drums and Collin (Last Year’s Model) manned the keyboard-bass for some blood-pumping punk.

Then we did our thing! We enjoyed some great sound stewardship from soundperson Isabella.

We also enjoyed the enigmatic blessings of the Artist formerly known as Prince (we didn’t ask questions about the deco and neither should you).

Boyd Shropshire took over after us:

Boyd was cool enough to accept our invitation to play this show with us, and was flanked by pals Chase on guitar and backing vocals and Stirling on lap steel and bass.  Backlights are big fans of what Boyd & Co are doing.  They played cavernous, psyche-flooding songs full of meandering imagery and devilishly original vocal harmonies.  Look at me losing myself to verbosity just trying to describe it.  And a good lap steel player can put me in a real tizzy.  Which I was in.

So thanks to all who came out, thanks to Angelina Yang for the photos, and we hope you all had a Happy Mother’s Day.

PS: Album soon!
