Official debut of the new Nik Everett Group

Undertoad · 09-02-2004, 04:45 PM

The Point, Friday October 1, 7 PM.

This event is expected to sell out.

I am expected to play bass.

My head is expected to swell beyond recognition.

In theory, we are doing a benefit gig early to solidify the act for the October 1 gig. This happens on Sunday September 19 at Finnegan's Wake, some time between 4pm and 8pm to be worked out later. However, our sound guy is not doing sound for that gig, and also it is sort of a dress rehearsal, and so we may suck.

(On stage one week before we're on stage: Al Stewart. Yes, "Year of the Cat", "Time Passages", THAT Al Stewart. Guy's kind of a hero to me.)

So what's it like - well the easiest way to find out, you can go to the itsaboutmusic.net download store Nik Everett page and listen to the samples by clicking on the little animated speakers. The stuff we are doing is basically the whole "Summer's Gone" album. In fact the event is the record release party for it. (That is not me on the samples. The record was done with other musicians.) Or you could go to Nik's home page. Those of you who wrote to the guestbook before, thanks, but something messed up and he lost a lot of entries. No, I don't run his website...

(and those samples come from the server sitting next to the Cellar server)

My bandmate, Mike Nichols, would kill to see Al Stewart. Al is more than kind of a hero to Mike. Mike does about 50% of Al's catalogue, I think, and thinks that he and John Stewart are basically dieities.

Go get em, toad. xxxooo

awesome UT. congrats and good luck. and putting a really tight ace bandage around your skull will keep the swelling to a minimum.

DanaC · 09-03-2004, 07:52 PM

Woof! Good goin UT.

wolf · 09-24-2004, 10:25 PM

phew ... I managed to remember to order a ticket. Thank goodness for "will call".

Edit to add: Anyone know the firearms policy at The Point? It's been a lot of years since I've been to a club. Back when I was following Beru Revue and the Flamin' Caucasians from place to place there was no search policy or metal detection, but the world has changed ...

For those showin' up tomorrow - thank you! The show starts really directly at 7:00. I'm probably on your right-hand side, stage left. And, you can enjoy a fireworks display, as my mom, my girlfriend, my ex AND her boyfriend are all likely to be in attendance!

We are gonna be excellent, and put on a great show. I hope you give us the one encore because we have saved up the loud rockin' songs including one of Nik's older 80's-ish scene-ish songs. It's "Robert Hazard-esque"!

limey · 09-30-2004, 05:17 PM

Good luck, have fun!

When's the World Tour?
