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

July 2 re-cap

.. 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.
