The Super Robertson Supper Show is cancelled on Wednesday September 27 due to a private party at the club.
Also on October 11... while we are on the subject.
The fine people from Canada Lynx Records and S/N Ratio put on a free show every week in Vancouver's best live music venue, The Railway Club. The only rule is to have fun.

Sept 20, No sour limes here
Baboon torture division put on one hell of a funny puppet show... There were aliens and an appearance from Ronald Reagan... And unfortunate visual.
21 tandem Repeats had their first promotional special... Buy the new CD "Never wanted to be anyone" get a slice of Key Lime pie. The deal was that any pie left over was going to be eaten by the Stalwart Willingdon Black, and in the end the ace guitarist went home hungry. This is good news of course, as the CD's were selling like cold pies... Or is it hot cakes!
The set saw some numbers that have been out of rotation for a while, and there was even some improvisation. A few songs were made up on the spot as the puppet booth was being constructed.
It was a good crowd, and good times were had by all.

Sept 13, A Smashing Night
Scene kingpin Smash came out and brought half of Vancouver with him. Most notably Carly Jepsen of Carly Ray Jepsen and Blue Morris... a beautiful young songbird who inspired Super Steve to say, "wow she is really good, and a lot easier to look at than king Dinosaur". She played one song solo and was then joined by Ali Siadat, Smash and Jeff Younger on drums, bass and guitar respectively. A proper clinic was had until somebody called it a Jam. Super Steve was showing signs of stress and said to the guy beside him "it's not a jam it's the Super Robertson Supper Show"... It was about that time Robertson shouted the same easing Steve's worries.
21TR had Shockk as a drummer and played a rocking set. During Bay City Kitty they were joined by a man named Alex on saxophone. Alex hosts a jam at the Anza Club on Thursday night and he is one king hell player.
The new 21 Tandem repeats CD made it's way around the club, and everybody was happy.

September 6 Re-cap: Roadshred
There was a nearly full moon in the sky (called the moon), and I arrived late, almost halfway through the lunatically skewed orchestrations of Robertson and crew. It was Roadbed on stage playing “Bent,” making a fine sound to end what was apparently a five-song set. I thought Super was making up fresh words on the spot, but looking at the lyric sheet right now, I see that it was a verbatim reading of said number.
21 Tandem Repeats (Robertson/Rojas/Hobbs) played next, running through “Dishpig” and “Woodstock.” Rojas—ruling in a full jeansuit—filled in for the missing Mr. Black with a couple bass solos in the WB style.
Interior Design followed, but after one ambient-type selection, Shockk’s old pal/nemesis The Motorcycle Man showed up to put on a one-man thrash/death/grind metal clinic, minus his customary showboating, Vancouver dissing, vinyl tossing, and biker regalia. Such a stripped-down presentation was a bit like seeing KISS without makeup. Nevertheless, the Railway crowd “Licked It Up” with gusto.
