2021 - we're working on booking it now. As usual I'll be giving a double pass away to a lucky forumite in each town ;-)

17th of October at Sky City Casino - which happens to be my wife's birthday, so I'm in trouble! If that show sells well, we'll do a second AKL show, I think on the 18th.

For sure. The coolest thing for me is the journey - I first talked with our bass player about this project something like 5 years ago, and we've actively been working to make the thing happen for at least a year and a half.

To see it working after all that is a very cool feeling, but there's still a lot of work to be done ;-)

You too can play covers songs - just dress it up REAL pretty, give it a brand and you're off!

"You too can play covers songs - just dress it up REAL pretty, give it a brand and you're off!"

Yes true, the hard part is finding like-minded band members who want to do the hard yards. I did 10 years in our covers band "5th Quarter", I think we peeked in year 1 & slowly went downhill until the second divorce which has been permanent. Probably lack of real talent too. Oh well, we got paid for gigs (a Pro band :))!

finding the right people is 100% one of the hardest things - that's why this band has taken so long to get going. Sounds like you should start another band, you'll know the classic tunes already!
