Good to know

Let's start the day with some Good2Go pictures. I took a bunch of the band at their Irene's show, and only posted two; one of Maureen, one of Gilles. Here are some more, starting with guitarist Christian Lapensee.

Here's one of bassist Reg Allen, with Maureen Hogan adding some extra percussion.

Gilles Mantha and Maureen got rhythm.

Reg sings a song, quite probably one about beer.

And finally, more Maureen, raising the roof.

Enough navel-gazing, it's time for a bunch of new shows, starting with the abovementioned rockers:
  • The Hi Lo Trons and The Double Pumpers are playing at Barrymore's April 5.
  • Speaking of Irene's, Z'howndz from Toronto are playing there April 12 with Mono Hum. Z'howndz features James Payment from Do Make Say Think on drums. Also on board are guitarists Ryder Graham and Ben Boles (tetrezene) and Shelton Deverell (Tangiers) on keyboards. It's like a New Glue showcase band.
  • The free Mighty Eagle Band/Jesus Mullet show at Zaphod's April 18 I mentioned earlier now also features appearances by hardhitting cow-rockers The Agriculture Club and Layiterslayit.
  • The mighty C'mon will be rattling the floorboards in conjunction with Maximum RNR and Iron Giant at Cafe DeKcuf, April 20.
  • Good2Go will play at Zaphod's with The Tradeoff April 22. Come celebrate Earth Day in the peaceful and loving environment of Haslam's club before we blow it to kingdom come - the Earth that is, not Eugene's digs.
  • Also on April 22, there's a night of instrumental music with My Dad Vs. Yours, Pawa (from Montreal) and J'Envoie (who played at the Club SAW Happening) at The Roxy.
  • The aforementioned Z'howndz are playing at Zaphod's May 4 with The Golden Famile (whose CD release show with Gris Gris you are going to on April 6, right?).
  • Golden Famile are also playing a musically feline show June 4 at Babylon with label-mates Mono Hum, Weapons of Mass Seduction and Reverend Glasseye.
  • Looking far, far ahead The Rheostatics are appearing at Babylon June 15.
  • Show reminder: Ukrainia, The Empiricals and Nashi play the Black Sheep Inn tonight. Huzzay! You can also catch the Rolling Tundra review with The Weakerthans and Constantines, plus Kelp Records artists Recoilers and South of '78 at Barrymore's.
