@ 7:30 go to your computer and watch this...
tht can be the Supper Show for this week
it's our man Dave Hind with one of his percussive contraptions.
I remember the old days when i started playing music... Dave had a studio outside of london, i think it was an old gas station and we would go out there for Jams... It was usually cold as hell but there was a heater and lots of things to make rhythm on. And there would always be a very long version of the song "Wicked Style". A song where the pocket has been lost it was this hypnotic rhythm on a finger hammering d chord except the d was played 1 fret up... and then it resolved to an e major. I have the feeling it might have been one of those ideas that was never really that good in the first place... great for rhythm grooves and easy to solo over. It was one we always hit at those jams... i remember one time there was this weird bearded guy who was always on acid and we hit that song and he was dancing away in a trance and when it was over he said "that was wicked man, you guys should be playing the Embassy"... the Embassy of course was the shithole dive bar/ hotel/ music venue at the time. Now that i think about it i don't think it was the embassy... it's hard to remember anything anymore... I think the embassy is the actual good venue...
The place the bearded guy on acid said we should have been playing would have been about the same as where we were playing except we wouldn't be able to drink our own spirits rather pay for them at a bar... there of course would have been other side affects as well... = more acid eating beard men.

December 10 re-cap
well i didn't film the show and that made for a better week... Step one in making the supper show more manageable. I am a good employee... i stay on task, for good or ill.
So i guess i can now write anything, no longer bound by the truth... a first for me as a blogger. somebody is shaking their head out there... i can feel it.
It was a good show, there were no drums until i pulled Mule Hughes out of the crowd to play on the last 2 songs. It gave him a good chance to scope out our backs so he could find out where to put the knife... (small inside joke).
The supper show works well with a more toned down (not full band) feel. it gives people the opportunity to talk over the music rather than having to shout over it.
Next week (December 17) is the last supper show of the year, and on January 7 2009 i have managed to talk Cameron Dilworth and Jesse Matheson into doing the supper show... so you could say that the supper show just got stronger... they are going to do 1 Wednesday per month.
The plot thickens and the days go on, and The Super Robertson Supper Show will re-invent itself again.
Have a good Holidays and remember to enjoy all the good people out there.

The supper show
Last week was fun... we broke it up a bit... you see ace guitarist Willingdon Black was out of town so ace guitarist Snow Leopard brought down a guitar and Stupid Robertson went to Bass. It was fun, did i mention that the ever amusing and stellarly skilled Shawn Killaly was on the drums.
It got me thinking about our little tour a few weeks back, and more precisely the makeup of the band for the tour. It was essentially SR and 3 excellent guitar players with one of the excellent guitar players playing excellent drums (Shockk), and Alvaro (Snow Leopard) on bass (as per usual in 21TR) and WB on guitar.
So the supper show is closing out this year and is almost 4 years old now... anybody want to take the reins? i think i am kind of burning out on the old super show...
Just thinking... is the super robertson supper show worth anything to anybody? I say that in a very real way and i say it to a person like myself who does see a value in having a house gig in a good house with good sound and a good location with good food and all... are you somebody or do you know somebody who would like this opportunity, see it as an opportunity and treat it with professionalism and respect to the sound equipment. Perhaps we could go rotating weeks which would cut the load in half and bring greater variety to the show.
I'll keep doing it for now but you know, we will see.
so last week we did a fine number called "Jeff Younger drops a bar of soap and then eyeballs Raoule"
enjoy:

Nov 26 re-cap
Well 21 tandem repeats are back from their coastal tour minus guitar player Willingdon Black who is in Hawaii looking into a hotel gig for the band.
Brock Pytel came back to the supper show after a long absence... he played some tunes to an very chatty crowd
Brock then moved onto the drums and we were joined by our good friend Simian Special
Finding our groove we hit an old Knockin' dog number called The Drumheller Boogie where Willingdon Black's presence was felt when Alvaro played a variation of his "dish pig" riff
and then we closed the show with the key of 5, a song from out latest CD "no junk mail please"

now i know how we did last week
I watched the tape... and made it into mini song movies.
it was in fact the rhythm section that put on the clinic last week after all. it left me wondering about the idea of just replacing SR with a goat, a bucket of oats and a tarp (for the goat shit). Just let the goat eat the oats and call it a show.
Of course I'm joking... the SPCA would be all over that with some animal cruelty bit. if i were a goat, and i am from time to time, i would prefer a bar and a bucket of oats to a cold wet barn. How could i truly know what it is like to be a goat... as in the hoofed ungulate.
where was i... Oh yea the rhythm section stomped some balls.

I wonder how we did last week.
I haven't look at the footage yet which is an odd perspective in writing a little blogaroo, which of course is why it is an approach worth taking.... For the science of it all. Did you see this science experiment, these things are important for the grand "lessons"... which i had just typed "lesions". Almost another freebee there Mule, who for that matter was at the show eating a nice supper and thinking all of those Mule thoughts during the show.
It was a good night to pull drum duty as there was a fine kit on the stage for us to use and perhaps that contributed TO THE FUCKING RHYTHM SECTION MUTINY that occurred on the stage that night. Luckily the super robertson supper show is a place where one can get away with a rhythm section mutiny... from time to time.
where was i, the sound was good.. there was a SKA version of Bengal Tiger that i wish i could have back... i think there might be a fade out in the "official" online version.
Missed a chance to do "transmission"... not sure what i even want to do anymore.
damn the babies are up.

Our guest last week was Clare Love, she was great and i made movies of her set and sent them to her. I figure that since she has her own video upload page then i don't have to worry about being responsible for the © issues... of course i always ask for permission. But i do want to do the right thing for everybody... you come and play the supper show you don't get paid in money... you are treated like a human and if you want you get some video of your set... for good or ill. Anyhoo, if she puts it up i'll post the fucker.
we did this... now there is a nice new red curtain @ the Railway club so i started thinking in terms of bright lights. Turn all the lights up i told the sound man at the start of the show, which went over like a lead balloon with the band, so the lights got turned down again.

We had a camera malfunction and the bulk of the show didn't get taped. This made for a nice easy week and i could focus on important things like American politics. On a night like this wouldn't it be great to hear a post from the late great Hunter S. Thompson? Oh well, at least those corrupt swine took a mean spanking... Ted Stevens and Alaska senator who was just charged with 7 felonies still has a chance to win... WTF?
Anyhoo Emily and I played a song we wrote last week and Shawn Killaly spanked some mean drums that worked out so well that we did a version of Bengal Tiger that was approved by Mr. WB... and Super Steve missed it.
Tomorrow our guest will be Clare Love, who last played the supper show the night the Detroit Red Wings beat the Pittsburg Penguins to win the Stanley Cup.
You can hear Emily Milliken fight the chatter playing a song her friend hank wrote here:
Oh yea you should digg this:
digg it man

last week and this week
Our special guest will be the lovely and talented Emily Milliken, who sings and plays the bass ukulele. She came by the house last night and we wrote a song so we will give that a go as well.
Last week our guest was veteran singer Jacqui Brown who is fresh back in town from a stint in L.A. She played some tunes, 21TR played some tunes and then we all got up together and pulled something out of nothing.
now we definitely have to get the light on the beautiful woman when we do these things

Vale, making their second appearance at the supper show put on a fine clinic. This is a band that the supper show people seem to really like... look for some gold medals to come Vale's way next April if you know what i mean... and if you don't (know what i mean) you should really get your head out of your ass.
Now where was I... Oh yea i was going to insult the readers, i guess i did that.
Next week, or more appropriately tomorrow, we have a special Guest by the name of Jacqui Brown. She is a beautiful woman with a wonderful voice and she will be performing solo. For our part, our man Simian Special will be on drums... is it time for POEM MOMENT?
Notice i got the fucking date wrong? I said it was the 14th... which happened to be election day... was i just hoping for a re-vote?

DCR was in town from Edmonton, but for some reason didn't play. It was OK because Klagg came back from the dead to reminded Vancouver what good songwriting is. It was a great show and a good lesson on the power of those songs. For me "Toyah" and "Skytrain surfin'" have been going through the head all week.
Super Robertson opened the show with a few numbers, and then a Beggars/21 Tandem Repeats hybrid finished the show with versions of "frusterated man", from the Roadbed Represented CD, "Wishing machine" a 21TR classic and a work in progress titled "Nothing was heard".

last week re-cap
The best part about last week was that i showed some films... (episodes of the Carl Fatman show) so i didn't film the set which meant that this past week i was spared the inane task of making internet movies of the songs and posting them for viewing for a few dozen people.
Which of course begs the question of WHY do i do it? I should probably let somebody like SMASH answer that question because he is more likely to come up with a righteous uplifting answer that would leave one with an overwhelming sense of patriotism towards one's music scene, perhaps even going so far as to use the phrase "National Treasure" in a summary statement that might make one feel foolish for even asking the question in the first place.
never let the truth get in the way of a good story
- J. Frank Dobie
It was a weird night to show movies as a whole floor from a female college residence came to the show to celebrate a birthday party... apparently they had heard a 21 tandem repeats song on the radio and heard about the show so they thought they would come down town early and warm up for the evening... But it was just me in a suit and a projector showing short TV like episodes of a show i made that are full of constant shameless self promotion.
Imagine a pack of young excited music hungry folks confused while Carl Fatman interviews Shockk on the merits of the band ROADBED.
I did play "what's in the bag", "the man" and "Robertson's dream orchard"
Next week (October 8) a rare and special treat Klagg... who have no NMC page that i can find???

I remember thinking about this post on the weekend shortly after swimming in the frigid ocean on Saturday morning... it was looking to be a dog of a blogaroo with me going on some self pitying tangent about how i felt bad last week. Let's fuck that shit because one of the things i felt bad about was being ill prepared for a wedding on the weekend... but i made up for it by getting totally smashed at the open bar.
Now where was i.
My man Shawn Killaly came out last week and put on a percussion clinic:
I never even got to share wisdom with super steve, and i missed the great action from the bands after the supper show which i believe my man Alvaro Rojas was playing in two of them... and i missed it because i was unprepared as usual.
Having internet browser problems as i write this blogaroo all the videos are here http://www.youtube.com/user/CanadaLynxRecords

another one for Super Steve
Super Steve likes the backwards Blog:
2:30 AM SR gets home
2:00 am SR and Simian Special part ways on Broadway outside Gigi's Pizza
1:50 am Sim refuses to let SR buy the Pizza
1:30 am Sim whips out a copy of "Simian Special- The cougar stands it's ground" and gives it to the waitress but not before pointing out a photograph in the liner notes taken at Gigi's.
sometime earlier Sim and Super start hitting a perfectly done pepperoni and mushroom pizza and suck back a couple of Canadian beers.
even before that- we exit the Anza Club after going to a show that was apparently titled "Dick Stump"... a dual CD release party for the bands the whiskey dicks and the Family Stump.
during the show- i make like Super Steve and hurl insults at the band and at one point (unlike Super steve) play the doctor in a song called "Have you seen my taint".
10:15 Simian Special and SR leave the Railway Club and Hail a cab across town to the Anza Club.
8:31 Pm bass player Alvaro Rojas goes over the state of his musical career noting that he just did a show with a Gay puppet
8:25 PM uncle Stan the puppet, official comes out of the closet and admits that yes he IS a Gay Puppet
8:15 pM The lovely and talented Land Of Deborah comes on stage to sing Blue skies with 21 Tandem Repeats
8:00 pm we do a song called the "Shockey Stan" which is essentially a "doom jam" version of an incompleted song called the shockey shock.
7:50 pm Uncle Stan answers the questions for the song Hey Rock's living room
7:45 pm Nick tries a new DI
7:37 pm we play the song jupiter
7:32 pm we open the show with "Never wanted to be anyone"
7:28 Pm still no Super Steve... the band gets together and decides to carry on none the less (the vote is not unanimous)

OK... just for reference we have the Curtain pull to beat for the gold medal... in the Men's tandem pull 2008
this is a curtain pull that could easily be beat... you can see the pullers getting in frame and there is a slight mix-up on when the curtain pull is to start. this team really made up for it with an excellent "curtain seal" however. Now i don't want to come down too hard on a fine curtain pull but i think when we see the Russian, Chinese and King Dinosaur teams, with their technical perfection we might see the scores up a bit.
Genny Trigo put on 7 song clinic
21 tandem repeats it Mr. Greenie
Uncle Stan had some ideas:
Everybody got in on "Fuse lit bombs":
and we finished with "Wishing machine":

What happened last week
Super Robertson, Alvaro Rojas and Simian Special represented for the full show... well most of it and if i could find out how to spell the drummer who finished the show's last name i would tell you. given that i have lost a half an hour already i am going to give the fuck up for now. Shit now a baby is crying...
We did a version of Samson and Delilah:
as a result of this process i caught a mean version from some guy named Charlie Parr
Check out the song 1922...
Back to the supper show:
We made up a song for Michelle Pollard that went off the rails lyrically when the fictitious side burned man and the fictitious moustache man turned out to be a couple of homo's and then the ad lib author rescinded that realizing that that is not "appropriate" kind of material and re-labeled them bi-sexual. Let's not post a link to that one.
working on this one... it would apply to... say if there were a group of humans that new better but it wasn't to their immediate economic advantage to listen:
and a finished number that needs to meet a capo:
Oh yea we spanked a mean WASTELAND... and old Knockin' Dog number written by the Rev D Badcock.

well well
I was culling videos the other day and came across this one.
not too bad. i remember doing that one as i had talked to Smash a few days before and through our conversation i was reminded to push the grand slam elements of the supper show (it's free, good eats at reasonable prices, it's free, good beer, it's free... you know)

No Supper Show Last week
got the family dinner wrapped up and looked at the clock and thought wow... if there was a Supper Show i would have to run out the door now. i then though "How do i do it?"... and then i took the fists to myself for uttering such self pitying drivel. I think i caught myself with a good shot in the bugle and perhaps broke a bone in my nose.. or at least cracked it. The twins saw me hammering myself in the head and joined in with much excitement.
Never take the opportunities you have for granted... sure you are going to blow a few of them but that is life. Chin up old Robertson and no more of this off topic wallowing... next time it will be the groin.

Fire-Man gets balded
And Super Steve thought the last blog post (or Blogaroo) was downright mean.
I nailed him with a little ether and we balded him and it's all good.
don't worry Fire-Man and i are all good. It is only hair people... and he got a free ether buzz.
it was a great show
and there is no show on Wed Aug 27 so have a good one

Check this
So on Wednesday August 20th we are going to have this happen:
Many ill Habits..which, after we have indulged our selves in them, become incorrigible. - Steele, 1710
He needs to be punished for the first 20 seconds of that dog. The tune is good but could you be any more annoying?
I have had it with that guy... If he shows and trys to fuck with me tomorrow I am gong to CHANGE HIM!
I guess i need to dig up some of the old footage to make my case on why i have spent my lifetimes worth of tolerance for him. No more Mr. nice guy... i need to react.
Last week this was our crew doing Mr. Greenie. The Poem Olympics are online if you feel you need them.

Where were we
Wouldn't it be neat if the blog post worked backwards... I still have a few beers in the fridge so let's give it a try.
I stumble into my house at around midnight, check that all the doors are locked and go to sleep.
I Fix the back of the Matrix... that is a co-op car signed out by a good friend to ferry myself and a few others to the beach.
we drive back from 3rd beach with myself riding shotgun making wildly inappropriate navigational decisions.
confusion everywhere
The impromptu "legion of flying monkies horn orchestra" rehearsal session comes to an end when a rebellion breaks out among certain individuals.
Fire-Man seizes the jam and begins what appears to be a sudden rehearsal for a show on August 20th to raise money to save hippo's... if you can believe that.
Chris Banting and SR start strumming guitars
Jason shows up with treats that include chocolate
Smart people brought beer... we begin hitting the supply
the crew tries to warm up
Everybody is naked in the cool Pacific Ocean
Chris Banting and Cam Dilworth rush into the ocean... all follow with Robertson bringing up the rear talking about cool water and oily deisel.
all have arrived
our smart navigation puts us on 3rd beach first.
we leave the club and find our car... i immediately take apart the back of the car to look for the thing that will cover the trunk so that one could leave something valuable in the trunk and it wouldn't bee seen
we finish the picture
we clear the gear
the show is over... on principle we did OK
21 Tandem Repeats plays a set without our 2 ace guitar and bass players... Super Robertson and Chris Banting are joined by Daniel Vallee and the three suffer a bunch of bad song calls by the idiot Super Robertson and manage to play a decent set... at one point Fire-Man leads the crowd in a version of Dish Pig... this goes well and Fire-Man begins to leave orbit.
Cameron Dilworth plays a set with SR and Chris Banting joining on a few select songs... S Robertson misses the first song as Kevin Smith explains again why he thought it was a good idea to turn Robertson's back yard into a "biodegradable" sludgy wasteland.
During the set up we notice that somebody has smashed our drum kit.
I arrive at the club
Is it time to bring back the sprint?
I stumble into my house at around midnight, check that all the doors are locked and go to sleep.
I Fix the back of the Matrix... that is a co-op car signed out by a good friend to ferry myself and a few others to the beach.
we drive back from 3rd beach with myself riding shotgun making wildly inappropriate navigational decisions.
confusion everywhere
The impromptu "legion of flying monkies horn orchestra" rehearsal session comes to an end when a rebellion breaks out among certain individuals.
Fire-Man seizes the jam and begins what appears to be a sudden rehearsal for a show on August 20th to raise money to save hippo's... if you can believe that.
Chris Banting and SR start strumming guitars
Jason shows up with treats that include chocolate
Smart people brought beer... we begin hitting the supply
the crew tries to warm up
Everybody is naked in the cool Pacific Ocean
Chris Banting and Cam Dilworth rush into the ocean... all follow with Robertson bringing up the rear talking about cool water and oily deisel.
all have arrived
our smart navigation puts us on 3rd beach first.
we leave the club and find our car... i immediately take apart the back of the car to look for the thing that will cover the trunk so that one could leave something valuable in the trunk and it wouldn't bee seen
we finish the picture
we clear the gear
the show is over... on principle we did OK

21 Tandem Repeats version of the song "On Frozen Pond" to win the hundred thousand big ones.
It happens to be track 8 on our New CD titled "No Junk mail Please"
If you want to hear it check this But the ROGER DEAN YOUNG cover song isn't there... CBC radio 3 doesn't do cover songs... a good thing.
to commemorate the return of our new CD we performed 21 Random Poems last week at the supper show... it was actually a pretty good show... there were definitely some dogs in the mix and my unfortunate mumbling disorder.. but the band of Rojas, Macaulay and Banting put on a clinic. In fact i talked to a beautiful French woman after the show who loved it even though she missed the words... there could be something there... alas lets go with this poem and you can find the rest if you have a stomach for Jack assed poetry and some time to kill.
Next week look for Genny Trigo and Baboon Torture Division (July 23) and on the 30th of July it will be the King Dinosaur Supper Show. On August 6 look for the return of Super Robertson at the supper show with special guest lined up Cameron Dillworth

this blogaroo is representative of 40 minutes of work... hopefully i can shit it together in 15 and then stretch
I wonder if i spelt stretch right... no red line under it, which means old robertson is a good as gold... why is there a red line under robertson? That is the more pressing question at this juncture... what about "there". Robertsons have their red line when things are left un-capitalized.
OK
Last week's supper show had moments of fine merit
who lost their mind putting together the "bird trivia" clip?
look for B) Zalwonkion.. to end up on a future exam.
On Wednesday July 16 we are going to attempt 21 random poems. Surly it will take 21 disguises and 21 poems and of course 21 musical numbers pulled from the archived minds of the great Willingdon Black, Alvaro Rojas and Chris Banting.
The following week will be July 23 and set to play the Supper Show are Genny Trigo and Baboon Torture Division.
The following week (august30) will hopefully be somebody reading "Songs of the Doomed" by Hunter S Thompson, for an hour... Just have to find the person. Or if somebody wants to do the supper show send me an email
Super Robertson is off for a 2 week stint to play supper shows in the famed cottage country of prosperous Ontario.
Too bad the CD's aren't back from that sloth duplication company who i erroneously gave my business to.
I'll leave you with Hey Rocks Livingroom...
the rest of the show is there with the rest of the lot. If you want some subtle comedy check out the one titled "the devil"... great song sounds good but watch the bass player (Jack Snape... brother of Gordon) just "shit the bed" on that one. At one point he interrupts the singer who is in mid verse and asks if he is sure he is in the right key... you hear the singer say a firm but polite YES " and then continue to sing the song (quite well i might add). The the bass player moves back to what looks like a music stand and freezes... still unable to jump the train he continues for a while and then after a long time he tries to discretely remove his sunglasses and stare down at the music stand.
shit that took like 50 minutes... I am a failure and i know it

.. THE FAMOUS UNCLE STAN...
Trying to remember what happened last week... took a good shot in the head playing hockey tonight... things have gone weird! Oh shit i remember i brought down ice cream cones. DRUMSTICKS! One of the SRSS Gold Medal winners had a birthday, in fact she won the best attendance. Usually i bring cake, but i think July is a good ice cream month.
In fact there are 2 people who frequent the Supper Show who have a birthday this week... perhaps more ice cream. We need a COSTCO run, because that shithole safeway that is on my way to the supper show sucks a large turtle private organ.
OK so it's ice cream... and maybe those fucking CD's will be ready one day. I believe it was June 10 that the latest 21 tandem repeats CD went to press... and we are at July 9, and the company talks about a 15 working day turn around... sounds like a "spin" to me.
and last week we were blessed from a visit from Uncle Stan: and HIS original song "sexy times".
21 tandem Repeats opened with the classic Never Wanted To Be Anyone... notice the fine curtain pull from the stalwart Kevin Smith:

June 25 re-cap
Gentle Infidels put on a fine CLINIC last week... and the show started on time, which pleased S Robertson very much so as that scrappy hound jackel was was trying to niggle him over that very point. Word has it that Super Steve won't be at the Supper Show this week as he made a point about saying I'll see you in two weeks.
anyhoo the supper show blog presents the Gentle Infidels:
21 tandem Repeats opened the show with ace drummer Chris Banting on guitar for a few instrumental works:
21 Tandem Repeats saw S Robertson on Bass and the concept worked out rather well and believe it or not they got to work a STOKE and a Snake Island Salvage number into the set.
And at the end of the show after we played the Roadbed classic BENT we started into Mr. Greenie and Shockk jumped up on guitar thinking we were about to play "surrounded by patch cables"... a neat fusion indeed, and always nice to play with Shockk in any capacity.

Tuesday night update (June 24 2008)
Well i just got an email... and it was MINE the one that talked about the show tomorrow... you know the "Entertainment and Supper Option". We are looking to move toward cell phone user group alerts for the hottest new concerts... but that will be next year.
Ye old Robertson special... send out the email with a link to the site and then quickly shit together a blogaroo. This old blog that hasn't heard from any of the other delinquent posters that have the passwords and all.
the email is this:
On Wednesday June 25th
Special Guests... The Gentle Infidels
http://www.myspace.com/gentleinfidels
and 21 Tandem Repeats will debut some new sounds and instrument configurations.
http://radio3.cbc.ca/bands/21-Tandem-Repeats
And perhaps a few quick notes on wheelbarrow's... or a poem moment, if there is time.
The Super Robertson Supper Show
Every wednesday night from 7:30-8:30PM
No cover, kitchen is open
@ the Railway Club 579 Dunsmuir Street
http://srsuppershow.blogspot.com/
Ah yes i can feel the server being flooded as we continue.
OK, Last week Vale put on a fine clinic... at 7:30 i was ready to start the show... just couldn't find the stage lights... and then the sound man JL Delinquent flew in the door and threw mic's on the lads... good thing i didn't start the show without a vocal mic. The drums and Amp could have worked in the room without mic's, but it was far superior to have them. JLD is a fine sound man with a master ear and a quick paw... a veritable lynx among mortals.
Vale
And the lovely Genny Trigo sang for 21TR with the pro bass work of Cory Curtis
The end
I know you are all thinking.... how can i get on the email list?

June 11 re-cap
Jake DeNiro and Moustache Man took up the call of the Supper Show and knocked one out of the park last week. In terms of true art and culture, their show captured and presented an element of the Super Robertson Supper Show using a minimalist electronic remix and award winning photography.
It was what I would call KING HELL.
So 21 Tandem Repeats had to play Bengal Tiger
all for free baby
Later i headed down to Fake Jazz to catch Baboon Torture Division... i even ended up mosh dancing. I did cost me 3 bucks though, but well worth it.

June 4 re-cap
Before i start i should note that our guest next week (June 11)... i guess which is actually this week has a press release:
"Come and listen to remixes of your favorite 21 Tandem Repeats tracks all jumbled up by Jake DeNiro and his suite of looping software, MIDI controllers and an amazing light table. Visuals provided by MoustacheMan. Yesssss."
What happened on June 4... besides the Detroit Red Wings winning the Stanley Cup. i missed that as i was watching a lovely an intimate performance of a songbird named Clare Love. She opted out of being filmed so i can say if you weren't there then you missed a fantastic free show.
imagine this on stage
21 Tandem Repeats had their ace drummer Chris Banting back... i thought we played great

Hey Rock took the Bait
Well Super Steve was overjoyed to finally meet Hey Rock in person, and hear what a fine singer he is.
Didn't even get to hang with Hey Rock much... didn't even attempt a swirley. A Swirley is when you shove somebodys head in a tiolet and flush. Shockk and i use to play that game with Hey Rock for years. We came pretty close one day... i would say his head was about 2 inches from the water when he summoned a "hail mary" energy surge and broke loose back away from the tiolet and through the shower doors.
Ahh the good old days when boys would be boys and men would be men, and it can get harder to describe when you don't really have it... like another broken soul who never made it to the end of the Road. Bed time in the city of fallen heroes!
OK what is that from?
First right answer gets a Canada Lynx prize pack.
So Hey Rock and his band Ross Vegas came out and stomped down a set. He had a Killer guitar player named Alec Macaulay, or something like that i think... The bass was operated by Smash and for a moment it looked like we could be in for a STOKE medley... oddly enough we did touch on an In 3's medley to close the supper show.
Smash and I got to hang out for a bit later on in the night and i almost got the feeling we might have a winner for the "best comment from the supper show 2008-2009" Gold Medal... but there are still a lot of Supper Shows left so let's not get too hasty. I always tend to view life from a different perspective that sees more opportunity after talking to Smash, so cheers to that.
well lets cut the chat and get to the STREAMING DIGITAL VIDEO!!!!!
Now Smash left his bass affects up on stage so Alvaro was like a kid in a candy store.

103 posts... or Blogaroo's, if one wants to use the proper terminology
What happened last week... our hero tries to recall shortly before he is to hit the ice for a fine high-paced hockey game. i was thinking about that... i made some pretty good plays last week... perhaps i should promote my rec hockey rather than the musical ventures... it's entertainment right! and it's free... The crowd could drink spiked hot drinks and weigh in on the weather
I'll just leave that.
For the second week in a row a man named Cam came down and laid down a fine clinic. It was Cam Owens and he was telling stories and warning the audience that they might have to listen for some clues in the songs. Excellent stuff!
Then it was 21 Tandem Repeats turn and old SR had his head up his ass calling the wrong configurations. Should have hit Bengal Tiger after Bent, then perhaps Carolina and Scarb Jacket, Mr Greenie, i scratch my head...
live and learn
after the show Super Steve was down right depressed from our general negativity towards what we did... in an effort to cheer up old SR he had this line "And on Wishing Machine you had the crowd singing along with the la la la la's... Well it took them a minute!"
Good times all around

Cameron Dilworth put on a full clinic this night. This guy is good. The Show was called The New Music Super Robertson Supper Show and it was called that in jest because a festival called New Music West was starting in Vancouver that night. The festival had to change it's name from Music West, because it was run by a bunch of shifty hacks that knew a few things about soaking indie bands for bogus application fee's all the while pushing the same old same old.
My Old Band ROADBED use to loose 20-30 bones per annum, trying to get heard through that industry outlet. It was always the same bands that got to play. Later, like a few years ago... Shockk, who was with me in Roadbed, and left to play in Mongoose, ended up getting a show there with Mongoose. The only problem was that Mongoose was on tour in another part of the country at the time. Mongoose never applied... they were just a big band in the city who got to the head of the line without even trying. i recall Shockk saying "I have become what i hated". Beware of industry things... they are like a bucket of leaches that latch on to the hopes of music folk and suck them dry.
Probably why New Music Super Robertson is one of the finer festivals in town... no money is exchanged.

Is today may 8 or 9th?
i set in on my pathway to sign into blogger and got completely derailed trying to find the meaning of the word "erudite". It seems to be a term used to describe a person as learned or scholarly...
where was i...
too many distractions around here.
now we are clear.. looks like i might have about 15 minutes.
Just lost a few minutes trying to put a link to a news story that has expired on the 24 hours website... apparently you can get it for 10 bones.
First.
On May 7 2008 we were 15 minutes late starting, which is completely fucking unacceptable. i take responsibility for that fiasco.
Uncle Stan came out to do "running puppet commentary", which is apparently a very brave thing to do... Uncle Stan is a pro so no worries. We had a "Stan Cam" running so there will be some good footage shortly.
this is not from the Stan Cam
We did our monthly Blog review the other day and have fined Earl Parrish $400 for his savage attack and unfair blaming of show start delay on a person who shall remain anonymous... for the sheer continuity of the blog. Lets go with this one... Now i can't, as the "Rule of Robertson" states "delete something in the blog" as it is a record of a state of mind, others may disagree. Too bad i wasn't Dick Cheaney.
So if you read this blog lets update the paragraph from the last blogaroo that starts "It's what happened before the show that is interesting to note..." and replace it with this better and more accurate "If Super Robertson ain't going to take the bull by the horns when he is in the ring then he shouldn't be whining about it after he gets gored. And you think that is a gore.. it is an insignificant nick you sissy"
the Main reason the show started late was because that Fucking idgit Fire-Man was causing feedback with his fucking corn fed "monkey with the microphone" bit... then he had the audacity to try to call Deuce up to the front to work the curtain. For fuck sakes you call the guy in the tuxedo up to work the curtain when the guy who was just 20 minutes away from winning "the most reliable curtain pull" is sitting stage left.

April 23 re- cap
Supper Show 3rd year anniversary show photos by Peter lolley is a good way to get an overview of what happened on Wednesday April 23 2008. I would suggest watching it as a slide show. Notice William Lee gets shutout yet again going home without gold... mostly due to the fact that we didn't have time for all the awards like "best slide show presentation"... others who were shutout include Melissa and Bethanie... we didn't have time for the "myspece award" or the "soundman assistant award"... we also missed the "most annoying realtor award".
It's what happened before the show that is interesting to note. There was a guy, a one man band, who needed an hour to set up before HIS big show later on in the night... so it was up to us to make sure to be done by 8:30 PM. Now that's all good and i'm always up for keeping us honest. i heard about this the night before, as this was clearly a big concern. So the dude shows up when we are setting up and spends 20 minutes holding up the sound man to emphasize he needs what he needs and of course to talk gear... the result being that we are late getting started. At 8:30 we stopped and cleared stage with our usual stealth tear down with this dude standing over us to make sure we don't inconvenience him.
Come up for a name for this ignaramus and you could win a Canada Lynx Records shirt.
Here is the show in 10 minute segments (the maximum i can upload)
Part ONE
Part TWO
Part Three
Part Four

At 8:30 we stopped and cleared stage with our usual stealth tear down with this dude standing over us to make sure we don't inconvenience him.
Come up for a name for this ignaramus and you could win a Canada Lynx Records shirt.
Here is the show in 10 minute segments (the maximum i can upload)

Now if i was smart i would have edited the tape so the announcement happened and then the curtain pull happened and then we did the song.
The following was written as the original post... the stuff above was added later.
the good news is i played guitar for the better part of this evening once the children went to sleep. Better than going over the tape and festering in my own disapproval of my actions.
After the show i was standing next to A. Parker when a friend left and said "good show"... i thanked the person and muttered under my breath towards A Parker "but was it", to which he replied "that is for you to think about for the next few days". indeed. You can't become too predictable... like the guys at work knowing that i am about to come across something that will surly stoke my anger so they set up a stack of bins for me to punt at Roy's head. Actually the term should be "place kick" at Roy's head.
The show will go online later this week so the truth will stand... but i would like to take a moment to go over the show's failures.
1) I hate the blues
2) should not have played "Rain"
3) should have played "banting tree"
4) Lincon Park was mentioned
5) i took the touque off for the song "The Duke of Touque"
the successes
1) somewhat recovering from the blues
2) good audience interaction ( Fire-man makes the best audience member)
3) we played pretty good for the most part
4) the audience wrote a song and we performed it from nothing
5) a picture of beer arrived on the stage

April 2 re-hash
well last week i remember being behind the curtain and not really wanting to play so i touched the guitar and there was some feedback so i figured i should play a bit to work out the sound kinks. It was about that time that somebody opened the curtain and the show began. Fair is fair... it was a bit past 7:30. Shortly after that fiasco chris banting and Willingdon black came up and we were then a trio. I pulled the curtain shut again for good measure and i heard some people mutter something about "what kind of clown show is this". Then we cut into "Never wanted to be anyone" and played a good part of the song behind a closed curtain... never a bad idea. Did i mention that WB was on bass. anyhoo the curtain was opened by King Dinosaur and the show began again. Just as the song ended Cory Curtis blew into the club (Cory Has played bass for us before and is one King hell player) as the band was aggressively scanning the bar for our ace on bass Mr. A Rojas i mentioned the Corey was in the club. I think some people could see the wheels turning which created some comedy. A few songs later Rojas was present and on Bass and we rocked the old Knockin' Dog number "Wasteland".
Then before you could say "super robertson has the mad temper of a lunatic" Margaret Taylor was on stage with us.
Some pundits mentioned that the show was like one of those hockey games where the team that got it's balls stomped in the first period comes back in the third to force overtime

March 12 Re-Cap
Supper Show aside March 12 2008, will forever go down as the day the wrong thing happened in a cruel and incompetent manner and left an eternal and visual reminder of the ugly stupidness.
About 3 hours before the Supper Show one of my idiot neighbors hired a incompetent, hate-full and utterly stupid crew of greedy hacks to top 3 large cedar trees on our block. Now perhaps i could be considered one of those "Fucking Loon tree-huggers" you hear about from time to time, and if you were stupid and ignorant you could see that as an infringement on your human rights (the right to make $1000 in about an hour climbing up a tree with a chain-saw, or the right to be paranoid about a tree falling on your house and your ability to make your wrong choice in dealing with that fear that oddly enough will increase the likelihood of that tree falling on your house).
lets go to the situation, then to the optimal solutions, then to what happened, and then finally to how a human can no longer exist on his block under the presence of this nasty mammoth beacon of stupidity.
Guy worries about his neighbors trees being blown over on his house in a windstorm. Now this could happen, but I happen to have a certain "thing" about this man vs nature battle in where man beats nature but loses by robbing himself of majestic diversity.
I think he met the swine that did the job and the swine got him paranoid.
He told me about it before it was going to happen as we got talking about trees, i told CT who went into scientist mode and figured out the best solution... But his guy was giving him a deal (insert long swearing frenzy here).
CT makes good decisions.
When she was pregnant with the twins they tried to book her for a C section saying there was no way... that is just not done anymore... the usual bullshit. She had to fight like a tiger and in the end there was only 2 doctors in B.C. who would even attempt a natural birth. One was on the Island and one was here in Vancouver and the deal was that she had to be induced while that doctor was on call because if she went into labor and another doctor was on call it would be an automatic C section... no questions asked none answered. All went well of course except for the illegal epidural that was forcefully administered after reassurances that they would not force that... which i should mention almost screwed thing up.
After the birth the 11 member birth team thanked CT for allowing them to witness something that is never allowed to be done.
They play the fear card "oh you wouldn't want something to happen to the baby would you... we had better split you gut open in a hospital that has proven high concentrations of "C difficule" and other "super-bugs"
Is this still the Super Robertson Supper Show Blog?
somewhere along the line there are good decisions and there are bad decisions and there are the people who have to live with those decisions, and those who will remember and recall all things said and done ... like that pudgy hate faced asshole who saw me come out of my house and immediately put his hand up and shouted "we are not going to hurt the tree, just taking a bit off the top"
The solution of course would be to really assess the problem (will tree fall on house) and either take it down an replace it with an appropriate tree or brace it, or do what they call a "spiral cut" where you thin the tree from within it so that more wind can pass through it. the thing not to do is to top it. Search tree topping on the internet if you give a shit and you will perhaps see why this represents the death of all hope on the block where i have chosen to raise my family. where i use to see 5 majestic tree tops i now see 2 and 3 brutally savaged trees that are still big enough to wreck a house.
So that's way i was a bit weird at the Supper Show that evening... my brain just kept going over the failure again and again and again... well if i ever need to be reminded of the fucking stupidity i can just look out my window.
Juniper Watters opened the show... she was great
this is a nice piece that our new drummer Chris Banting came up with... I have titled it Banting Tree.
There was also a spelling b (sorry to Pete who would have much rather sat in his chair an enjoyed other's pain... and shame on Mule for not challenging)... speaking of that i came inches from calling Mule up on stage to ask the questions in "Hey Rock's living room".. but i had no confidance due to the tree fiacso... i guess while we are on it i should say Kudos to WB for taking the reins and nailing Heidi Stopover and bringing the group back together in a time of crisis.

no supper show on March 5 due to 6 bands playing the club this night.
Last weeks show was a good one... the great failure being not having the camera zoomed in on Uncle Stan the puppet

The weekly post
Sometimes i laugh at myself and other times i just shake my head. I remember when my dad told somebody that i was "different"... he was right, but alas if we going to do something let's do it.
For good or ill i have begun taping the shows with a device that makes it somewhat easy to document. The main crushing honest observation would be that my singing sucks one pretty large tortise cock. it is a correctable problem that will need me to remember some basic fundamental things, like to be ready to sing. The minute i forget that i am a singer (something that oddly happens all the time) i am doomed. perhaps i just need a new genra rather than being a singer/songwriter i could be billed as a Goat imitator/songwriter... i could rule that market... if i cared about markets other than the idea that Market trends encourage "heard like stupidity", which happens to be a pet Peeve of mine.
Oh i should mention that the Supper Show will be cancelled on Wednesday March 5 as there are 6 bands playing the club as part of the Main bill. I'll take the break, perhaps a vocal lesson that night.
Ok
finally got that Carving hearts video fixed... this happens on Wed Feb 13
Now King Dinosaur played last week... A great show with giveaways, trivia, and the usual King Dinosaur wit, playing a traditional, a kinks song, a Dylan tune, a Rolling Stones number i think there was another and a medley thrown in at the end.
I wish i had taped "Samson and delila" as i believe it is a traditional song which would allow me to post it without fear of breaking the law... i know it did get recorded so i will work on that. There was a lunar eclipse that night Feb 20 so i made a small movie with credits, the lunar eclipse, some clips of King Dinosaur banter and then the Rolling Stones song with a fade into the crowd, but then i got all paranoid about the © issues i edited the song out but i did it from within quicktime and now it's all out of sinc
I really hate myself when i cause problems like that... don't worry the twins are fine.
Of our set i would say the Robertson's dream orchard had the best vocals... which gives you an idea of how bad the others were
we ended the show with failure.. we need more curtain pulls.
If you were at the show last week and you happened to be paying attention to what i said was going to happen this week then it is time for you to forget what you heard, and feel confidant that we will have music and a puppet guest, and perhaps a few guest singers (one for sure)... remember the show is free and it starts at 7:30PM

Feb 13 re-cap
It was the day Before Valentines.
Remember that line from the ROADBED song "cost plus 10" that went like this "People tell me Super you should sing about love but i don't like love i like food". Apparently some German Band wants to cover that song... which is odd and unrelated except for the fact that the Supper Show has never been known to buck to the commercial season.
best to go with the video. A wonderful band called Carving Hearts opened the show and the small movie i made of their show had 20 seconds of the song Jupiter at the beginning so i will re-try later.

Jan 30 2008
hindsight is 20-20, so the saying goes and i guess on this night if i knew what i know now i would have done things differently. you see i decided not to play so as to give the 2 acts more time, but for some reason no music was played until 7:53... how could this possibly be? completely unacceptable.
I guess it's my fault as i showed up late thinking it was under control. A supper show really needs a draconian taskmaster and that was the lesson for me.
When the music did start, Canada Lynx Records artist Interior Design put on a fine clinic... that's when i realized my other failure i forgot my camera. One of the fine comedies of the supper show is the incredible talent of the core crew and the lack of documentation besides this narrow minded biased blog. Interior design turned heads with some rave beats and i believe he was using a remote control to get some trippy sounds from the guitar... it was at that time that Super Steve walked over and announced "well i sure picked the right night to drop acid". Shockk (who is Interior Design) then went into a more groovie segment that was packed with euphoric swells. He played a short set, knowing there wasn't much time.. the sign of a fine person.
Kirsten Starcher was up next singing and playing solo bass. A great bass player with varied styles and a nice warm voice to carry some well written songs. It's a hard gig playing the latter part of the supper show solo with all the bands coming into the club and dropping shit next to the stage and greeting each other but she did good. She recorded the set with a video camera... she reads blogs and perhaps we can get a small clip.

January 23 re-cap
Genny Trigo put on a full clinic as per usual singing some Chilean numbers and then Super Robertson played drums and battled 3 puppets in a war of rhymes. He schooled them rather severely.
21 tandem Repeats played "Fuse lit bombs" with the puppets joining in on the chorus and went into a "dream sequence" in the middle where a puppet recounted a dream. It was, i believe, a gorilla puppet.
Then they made up a song about beards which really stimulated some of the female member of the audience who later came back to watch the hockey game (which the Canucks won in a shootout) and caress some facial hair.

Dick Cash is a great band and we found that out @ 7:30 when the show started. A nice tight sharp unit that knows that "it's not how loud you play, but how well."
Super Robertson was ill so we had Simian Special singing which worked out well... and on the drums JLS (sound man, bass man, cable builder and drummer).
all in all a good night

what happened last week (Jan 9)
Connor Mcguire opened the show, and did the middle as well, with a fine set of acoustic based folk rock. A generous crowd came to see him and listened to the show, which was nice to see... kind of odd if you know what i mean (People listening in Vancouver). Then around 8:13 21TR was trying to set up in amongst a maze of musicians worrying about themselves dropping gear on the stage and taking it off and trying to figure what the hell is going on. The show after the supper show brought a ton of people ( Winston was the main act) so there was much chaos and little time. Sound checking and confusion faced 21TR for their opening number (Never wanted to be anyone), but then King dinosaur requested On Frozen Pond and a round of bass and drum solos tuned in the folks. Then the lovely Land of Deborah came up to sing "blue skies", and after it was time for Poem Moment... the reading of the poem that the audience wrote... it went very well. And just for laughs since the room was packed we did Mr Greenie with a full set of push-ups and sit-ups... that old bit.
My man Deuce said it was a great show, and he has seen a lot.

January 2 Re-cap
The show started about a minute late as a result that the tables had to be moved to create a more open space to bring in the new year. the obvious choice was to relax with the ancient technique known as "beer yoga". Deep breathing, stretching and heavy swilling is a fine combination on any night and the capacity crowd at the Railway agreed. Willingdon Black, Shockk and Snow Leopard set up a fine spiritual groove while Robertson led the class. you can use breath and beer to cure any stress you have accumulated throughout the day... "Imagine you are a shark swimming in a ocean of beer... your gills filtering the cold carbonated ale"
After that all went well with a band version of the song "Robertson's dream orchard" which actually saw some crowd surfing. Shockk, Black and Rojas put on a fine clinic in their own right holding the fort while a disorganized Robertson tried Reggae, Rap and the art of the sermon for various diversions.
