Ringleader Fred Thomas also featured in the similarly super Flashpapr.
The first time I saw SLGTM, it was Fred Thomas, saxophonist Eliot Bergman and drummer Steve Middlekauff. This time around they brought along Betty Marie Barnes to sing the female parts.
Betty Marie and Elliot.
They also rounded out their sound with bassist Scott DeRoche - and full-time keyboardist Scott Sellwood.
At the time of the show I remember thinking Scott Sellwood could be a long lost Sproull cousin.
As you can see these pictures were all taken before I realized that getting in as little as possible of Irene's ceiling was a good thing.
I went out to Irene's patio to see if I could snap a decent photo through the window that looks in on the stage. Not really.
Daily action!
The band has been through a few lineup changes since then - I think Fred is the only remaining full-time member (which I gather is more or less the way he's always operated). They have a new album in the works, apparently due in September 2007 on K Records. Hopefully they'll head north again then, if not sooner.
- Show reminder: As The Poets Affirm, Mahogany Frog and Kyrie Kristmanson perform at Zaphod Beeblebrox.
