Day 1 Winnipeg, Mb.- Silverado’s
I remember this place as The Diamond, a fun place to play always
since “back in the day”. Since it’s our first day with the band, Jack
the stage tech and I decided to load-in a couple hours early and get
the bands’ rental backline sorted. Thanks to the great guys at Long &
McQuade Edmonton everything was in shape and sounding good. Pretty
good turn out for a school night, including my favourite Winnipeg
thing: ROCK ‘N ROLL GIRLS! Edwin missed sound check so it took a
couple tunes to settle in, but a great 1st show! Crowd loved the
songs and I think it’s really cool the guys do one from each of their
respective former bands. Loooooong drive day to Cold Lake tomorrow
for the show on Saturday!

Day 2 & 3-Travel and Cold Lake, Ab
Wanted to shoot myself in the face after we drove Edmonton to
Winnipeg for the first show and then turning around and heading to
Cold Lake. Day started with a broken battery terminal so we were 2
hours late leaving the ‘Peg. North of Lloydminister we hit a large
flake freak snowstorm which was quite the wakeup call for us since we
were all brain dead after 12 hours in the van. Jack, our stage tech,
was driving and he kicked butt! We made it!
Day of show, Cold Lake, got the oil changed in the van and headed to
soundcheck with the guys. Everyone made it today (and ALMOST on time)
for check so we spent some time getting the stage sound right. Show
went great, band was really good. Audience was mostly younger but we
managed to catch their attention! Now a drive to Calgary with an
evening off on Sunday!
