March 25th re-Cap

I was asked to add some percussion for one of Genny's songs so before the show i went into SR's private percussion stash and noticed the my stick bag was now gone... holy shit i was even in a good mood for a moment. perhaps some bastard needed some sticks to go with his stool.... luckily for all involved Jeff Hawker posted a blog on his take of the supper show so we will be spared any more of my negative gibberish at this time.

The Blog it titled "Free beer and stolen wood"... he had a conversation with our man Fire-Man Jeff Hawker's supper show blog... I was going to just copy and paste the bastard here but i know that Mr. fucking blog edict himself "Mule Hughes" will read this blog and I'm trying to stay out of the doghouse with regard to proper blog form.







Next week is April Fools Day so i expect an number of good pranks from our friends Jesse and Cam tomorrow. I guess the Super Robertson Supper Show is now 4 years old I'll give out some trophies at the Super Robertson Easter show which happens on Thursday April 9 at La Casa Del Artista located at 150 east 3rd avenue.

Emily Milliken and Super Robertson manned the Supper show last week an played some music to a boisterous crowd. We played a few songs we wrote together this year and a few that we know otherwise.






Jeff Hawker will join Genny trigo and Super Robertson for the supper show on March 25... which is coming up in a few hours.

Girlfriends and Boyfriends played the Super Robertson Supper Show last week and brought half of Vancouver with them... it was more of a show for them than a supper show but everybody was having a good time so i laid low and listened to a fine set of indie tunes. Did i mention they did Joy Division's Shadowplay? Any band doing Joy Division can play with me any day. The band seemed confused over the format which is odd because a few of the members have actually played the supper show before, but then i guess that if you read the SRSS blog then you might think SR has his head up his ass anyhoo... and what is a good band without a few patented mix ups

To close the night was a project presented as "Smashing SR" that SmassBass caught with a digital recording device.



The next show which would be tomorrow will have the lovely and talented Emily Milliken and perhaps some other surprises.

the good news is that i taped the show last week and i have the video up already, so if you are a Bloggerson, as am I, then you are in good shape for a monday night. Oddly enough i was just tinting my fingers together in celebration of how i could possibly be so on the ball when my wife raced up from bed and reminded me what we forgot to do.

You see tomorrow is my daughters 5th Birthday and her first tooth came out today so we set her up for thee old "tooth ferry deal"... but then mom and dad got into the Ceasers and almost forgot... which would have been a bad start for a little girl who is aware, nervous and excited about her big day tomorrow. It's OK dear, the tooth ferry probably had some important things to do on the internet... maybe tomorrow? No worries it's all sorted now and i can go back to my fuzzy little bubble.

Last week was a pure clinic at the Supper Show Cam and Jesse had their natural chemistry:



it's a good combo.

One of the great things about the supper show is it's ability to evolve and i think a great mutation has happened this year with the introduction of the Dilworth/Matheson and guest routine. They call their guests out of the audience who leap up and quickly play a song... sometimes they question the guest as in the case of Gido:



I Myself go the call:



And then there is a guy named Caleb Stull who i would like to define as KING HELL. it's always good to have the bar raised every once in a while... do yourself a favour and check this out:



Caleb is in the band "Parlour steps" so they would be worth checking out for sure.


Cam and Jesse did this song i believe is called Poop machine which i have heard a few times now that i have been to a few Dilworth and Matheson supper shows...



Next week we have special guestsGirlfriends and Boyfriends

And Super Robertson's latest offerings

Another full house at the Supper Show last week (Feb 25 2009), which was good but then a late band , late sound man, Drum stool gone, drummer concerned about the drum kit quality, Fire-Man explaining things too people... so i had to go have a few words with Super Steve... Super Steve, i think, could sense my anxiety over the latest facts my brain was forced to process. The lesson of course is all is well... except of course for the fact that SOME SWINE BASTARD STOLE MY FUCKING DRUM STOOL. it was, i'm sure, one of thee old patented misplacement misunderstanding things where somebody gets an extra drum stool that magically made it out into the club... very annoying indeed.

Anyhoo where was i... well i guess the whole blogaroo is fucked now that i am in the mindset of chewing on the fact that the drum kit has taken a further hit... if you play drums you know that sitting on a chair is officially bullshit.

OK this happened:



Reminds me of live 21TR in the year 2007 for some reason.

Camp Campfire routines never fail however:


And after that we had an insanely strange and elongated turnover but luckily we are professionals:



By the time Andorra played it was so packed i had to move the recording device by the side of the stage. Andorra is a bright new band on the Vancouver scene that mentioned during their set that they are looking for a drummer... i think Adam said "if you play drums and you like whats going on come and talk to us"



So in recap... MY FUCKING DRUM STOOL IS GONE... does anything else matter.

Next week Cameilon Danworth and Jose Maffelson run the supper show if you know what i mean
