Break a leg, UT...anything but a finger or a bass string (bass strings are notoriously hard to break).

but boy are they fun when they do break. especially when you are in the middle of a show and like a jack ass, in a hurry you think you can rip it the rest of the way out like it was a guitar string, so then not only do you have to back up, do it the right way, and then get back in the show - you get to play the rest of the show bleeding from the dozens of little holes in your hand... yeah, bass strings are fun.

THE Bassman is nervous. Big night, Lots of distractions, reams of drama.
BUT it doesn't matter a whit, 'cause his axe is sharp, his fingers are calloused, his chops are hot. Stand back ladies and gents, he's a professional. ![]()

I have felt the Toad's bottom,.........it was tight.
![]() I'm happy to report, the Cellar was not embarrassed tonight, in the least. Well,...except maybe when he tried to take over the group by tripping Nik as he came up on stage, but that just shows the man has drive,...ambition. ![]() The crowd went crazy, when Tony took the stage. Now I've been listening to a bootleg of Summer's Gone, for a couple weeks but that's just between you and me. Let me tell ya, they killed it tonight. 2 encores and a lot of love in the room. ![]() Oh yeah, I almost forgot. You should have seen the hot groupies. Carumba!

The truth indeed is that UT rocked the house.
Overall the Nik Everett Group is fantastic. The combo is packed full of musical range indeed ... stylistically broad, without becoming sloppy about it. The variety of types of tunes enhances the experience rather than detracting from it. They are not a band in search of an identity, they clearly have one. UT, incidentally, is not just a guy who plays bass. He is a guy who plays bass exceedingly well ... this is from the standpoint of someone who knows a bit about music and has an ear (I run screaming from discordance. It's physically painful to me ... and I spent the whole night in a very pleasurable space). A little uncertain out of the gate, UT did exactly the right thing ... let the music take over and become the focus. You could see him loosening up and warming to the task as soon as he discovered the audience wasn't yelling for his head. he provided some amazingly lyrical bass playing, my friends, and those of you who missed this, missed magick. UT is the (bass)man. No question. And I had a lovely time meeting Katkeeper and Jacquelita, and, as always, spending time with My Dear Bruce.

It was a great night and I thank you guys so much for coming out! It was so much more fun having the Cellar "corner" there with the comfy chairs!
I am the luckiest guy to be playing out with Nik and his authentic voice and great songs. I feel like saying, today I am a man. I got paid! For playing these songs, I got paid! Not much, but I got paid! What's the catch? |

How come such a long gap between shows?
We'll be there...I've heard good things about the new Grape Street. Plus, it's close to our new place. |
