Yuppers.. it's time for another installment of Rumours Rumours Rumours. It's been a while since I posted one of these so here we go. ;-)
1. Local band Nikk Fitt are back at it after calling it quits, then regrouping, and then breaking up before they regrouped,
and then, broke up again only to regroup. :-) Come on!!! Get this band on stage for crying out loud!
2. Local band Wishbone are back at it after calling it quits, then regrouping, and then breaking up again before they regrouped
and then, broke up again only to regroup. Is there and echo in here??? :-)
3. Local band Turn 'r' up have a new drummer and their old drummer is working on a project. New drummer is Rick White.
4. Local rock band "Glitch" have experienced a glitch and have thrown in the towel but no mention of why. Rumour
has it their guitar player had joined the ranks of Thin Ice, another band that changes members more than I change
underwear. :-)
5. Rumour has it that I, the Freq have formed a 60's band and have been doing fill ins with other 60's bands.
This is true. The band is called "The Peace Vibe". Why you ask? Because they get booked and play a lot and
here's the fun part... they get paid. ;-)
6. Rumour has it Sootoday reporter D. Hopper accidentally interviewed herself while planning another interview
of one of her favourite Lop Lops bands. HA! That's gotta hurt. :-) This is why you wear a helmet while reporting kids. ;-)
7. Rumour has it that Mr. Reggie (owner of Reggies, wow such an original name haha) has bought the Rosie and is turning it into
a mirror image of the original Reggies bar on Queen street thus giving Sault Ste. Marie 2 of the same bar which also allows his alter
ego a bar to run too. hehe :-). Reggie is said to be installing a hollogram version of himself
leaning on the bar at the Rosie version of Reggies just to add to the authenticity. HA!
8. Summer has arrived? Don't bet on it :-)
9. The summer concert series has been booked and the list reads like a Donna Hopper interview. ;-)
I do believe there is not one heavy band in the entire summer series so yup, the list is very Hopperish.
10. Rumour has it I broke a nail while typing this thread. ;-)
11. Rumour has it that Mark is out of Thin Ice on drums and the man of a 1000 chins is in. What??? Since
when does a band trade downwards to make a band better?? This is what we call in the music biz a "what the f**k
were you thinking" moment. Thin Ice is obviously walking on thin ice with local musicians and if this keeps up musicians
will say "no thanks", to Thin Ice in the future. They change musicians more than the Freq changes his mind.
12. Rumour has it that metal bands have lost a home with the changeover at the Rosie. This is sadly true. With so
few venues for metal, it's a sad waste of talent, gear and time for bands to play in the basement for a year only to
do one or two shows a year. Hopefully something changes but the future is bleak for rock music in general with so
few venues.
13. Rumour has it the Freq is joining the regrouping of the band "100 Gran". Yes, I've been asked and yes
I have given my ok and now it's up to the band to follow through. The band is lead by singer/ guitarist
Joel Syrette of the band Griphook. Look for that in late summer or early fall. It will be a blues rock
band.
14. Rumour has it that none of the politicians wanting your vote this election will ever give a damn about
you as a musician or the music create or the music in our school systems and thus, I will not vote unless
my neighbours dog Spanky is on the ballot. :-)
15. Rumour has it that The Freq is loved by 1000's and hated by millions. I wouldn't have it any other way haha!
16. Rumour has it the Music Depot forgot how to order product in their store. Umm I can only guess but I have
to say it's looking pretty empty in there. Not sure what their game plan is but it's sending the wrong message.
17. Rumour has it country star Brad Paisley is playing the Sault. Yes this is true. There is no denying that he
is a killer guitarist but anyone who writes a song called "TICKS" should be locked in a jail in some frozen country
and made to sleep with a big sweaty hairy women with moss on her teeth and forced to eat moldy English Muffins with
fuzzy yogurt. And for anyone who owns this song or even likes it, you should be fed Exlax until you crap that song
out of your system.
It's one of the worst songs ever written I think.
That's it folks. Enjoy the summer while it lasts.
