yay! yay!

Quick shout out has to go to DJ Mike Cherry of CHLY 101.7 , selector for the awesome "reggae, rocksteady and dub" program 'Roots Train.' Sadly, the show is going off the air after this weekend... I'm hoping only temporarily! Mike's brought Jamaican music to the airwaves for decades and decades, and his professionalism is second to none. He wears cool shirts and knows a lot about the Skatalites. Hope to hear from ya soon!

Thanks to all who came to the Malaspina show... not very often are there hour-long lineups to get in to that place! The people danced, Andrea kept filling up the pitchers of Vitamin K, and Tyson talked about teabaggings in Tim Hortons afterwards. Thanks also to DJ Bunny Dub for spinning some cool dub and ska tracks in between sets. Bernard, we salute you.

New tunes on the way..I love it. Gotta finish off the tunes about:

1. dating the principal's daughter
2. the crew of "Futurama"
3. standing naked with Jean Chretien
4. tequila
5. bass, not bombs

See ya on Saltspring next Saturday!

arrrgh

farkin' snow.

Saltspring Island show cancelled.

Poor Doogie...trapped on a snowy island with chucho and the stone broker, looking for the skinniest guy to share a cot with...

Kiltlifters w/ DJ Bunny Dub at the Mal Pub! Thursday 9 PM! Bernard rallies hard!

yay yay

Excellent gigs at the Queens! Thanks to all who came out and braved the blizzard... as blizzardous as it gets 'round these isles.

Our new songs and covers went over well -- who woulda thunk "Boys Are Back in Town" would have rocked as a shuffle ska with Motown horns?

Two new originals went off well -- "Sacred Cow" (not about John's wife, thank you, Scot) and an untitled one that the boys seem to want to dedicate to the Swedish Meatball. Nice 'hummer' shirt, by the way!

Gigs comin' up... this Saturday at the Anise Restaurant on SaltSpring Island, and Thursday Jan 20th at our home rink - Malaspina's student pub, youuuuuuurrrrr Velvet Underground!

Now, we rally.

happy new year!

Honestly, who looks better in red vinyl pants? Me or the dude from Loverboy?

Big ups to 2005...should be quite the year. We're starting it off with some cool gigs:

Jan 7-8 at the Queen's
Jan 15 at the Anise Restaurant on SaltSpring Island
Jan 20 at the Velvet Underground! Good ol' Malaspina!

The fine folks at Shaw are still diggin' on the Extreme Joe theme song and video... check it out!
