Earl Parrish recalls

It's always hard to play a show on the same day that Canada gets eliminated from the men's Olympic hockey tournament. It makes for strange feelings. The lone good thing is that we can no longer say that head coach Pat Quinn is the greatest coach in the world, which is something that has been painfully obvious for about 4 years.

Anyway this is a supper show blog... so let's get on with this dog.

Great crowd tonight

No drummer for 21tr this evening but onstage was enough gear to sink an ocean liner. A few touring bands were in town and so their gear was up on stage lined all around the perimeter. This made a more intimate environment, S Robertson brought the damn drum kit anyway... just in case.

21TR played a fine set that perhaps was a bit too quiet and somber for a large crowd of depressed hockey fans.

Next up was Interior design who also was a bit thrown off by the kayos of the day. Fortunately it is impossible for Interior design to play badly.

To finish off the night S Robertson jumped on the drums with Alvaro on bass and Willingdon Black and Shockk on Dual guitars. The moment was to expand on the concept of Dave P. you can't always be like Dave P. but every once in a while you have got to think like him. The music was fantastic... they were excellent!

One of Dave P.'s Goals is to become the I world record holder for indoor rowing. The concept being that thinking along those lines is possibly a little extreme. It's a noble cause for higher beings which is great, and it's not for everybody, but that doesn't mean you have to sit in front of the TV and eat a box of bugles.

The night ended and we all went home still a little unsure of what the hell happened that day.
