The next question is "why start a blog with this horse shit"... like shouldn't i be "RA RA BANGING IT ON THE GOOD TIMES TRAIN". I guess if i was really smart i would take a social media course... like that one a few years ago that said get on the myspace train... hell that's why we need a new course.
So last week we had our special guest This Thing:
A unique show for sure... there was spoken word with garbage can drum accompaniment, a Frank Zappa cover, backing tracks. Good times for sure.
The 21 Tandem Repeats compliment had a good time as well with Tim Watson on drums, Sandra Bouza on vocals, Jason Jones on Piano and Christopher Johnson on bass... SR as SR of course. Super Steve and King Dinosaur were in the house, there were push ups done by the youthful Jacey Gibb and an interprative dance done by a man named Nathan. Works for me.
Tomorrow or I guess today for that matter we have Hey Rock set make his return to the Super Robertson Supper Show after a long hiatus.
What do we know about Hey Rock?
Hey Rock had the distinct pleasure of living under Super Robertson years ago on the 900 block of west 15th avenue in Vancouver B.C. Hey Rock will let your cat out and water your plants but he won't clean the litter box... I understand... i never wanted a shit machine either, I just had the bad habit of getting together with crazy loon girlfriends who's spiritual side dictated they needed a cat and of course they would "always clean the litter box", except when they couldn't because of some other loon idea.
Hey Rock's first band was a king hell tight pop unit without a name... Naturally Shockk and I recorded their debut tape and dubbed them "Champ and the Harmony Brothers". Now being blind like a mole Hey Rock didn't see the pure genius behind this bold Canada Lynx Records move, and he changed his name to "Tim" got all serious and they changed the band name to "Rubicon" and recorded some "more serious songs". It was around that time Roadbed wrote the song "hey Rock took the bait like a hungry bass on a rainy spring morning" which was later shortened to "hey rock took the bait". There is also an unreleased 4 track song called Hey Rock blew it about the time Hey Rock was in a bar with us when we were talking with some ladies and he tried to get all fancy with the lingo and weirded the women out.
Clearly, Hey Rock needed to be taught a lesson, so it became our life goal to give Hey Rock a "swirly". That of course is head in a toilet and then a flush, given his hyper aversion to fecal matter it seemed appropriate. The song "Hey Rock's Living room" is about the time i went over to swirly the man myself to just get it over with, but Hey ROCK WASN'T HOME so i ended up hanging with Hey Bill and Hey Greg the Vino Brothers who happened to live with Hey Rock at the time.
Later Shockk and I were waiting on his front porch to jump him for a swirly and we noticed that he put a bunch of clothes out for Big Brothers, so we took some of his shirts and then would wear them to "Rubicon" gigs and stand in the front row and let his brain digest that during the show. I had a small novelty piggy bank toilet that had a great flush sound that i followed him around town for a few weeks eyeballing him with every flush. And then on his birthday i gave him a pet of his own... a beautiful lobster named "pinchey", and i might add he seemed most ungrateful when Pinchey got a hold of his torso... Mr. serious himself on the sofa leaping over the coffee table yelping like a hound.
Hey Rock went on to form the band Ross Vegas and now lives in the interior of B.C. He is a good sport, a solid citizen, and pretty good on skates with a puck if you know what i mean, and he will be playing @ the SRSS on July 6 2011.
don't believe me we had an interpretive dance:
