Here are some dudes watching Stereo Airing.So we went to the Marquee last night. Kind of a surprise; Jack's Pizza, which is owned and operated by the same people behind the Marquee, is a tiny little pizza stand, with four stools to eat pizza on. The Marquee is a big place. More photos:
This is Maggie, flaunting her ECMA media pass before CBC Saint John radio reporter Sarah Trainor.
This is Chuck Teed, of BBQ Records. Such a cutie.
This is our friend Zach, loving life.
Them, The Ragtag!And at The Capital:
Rebekah Higgs has a face. We promise.***
So, we didn't get on Q. Hardly a disappointment, though, because we got to sit in the exact center of the front row, and right beside Glenn Murray, author of Walter the Farting Dog. He was one of several members of the Fredericton arts community on standby to speak to Q host Jian Ghomeshi between bands. We saw Joel Plaskett, Wintersleep, and Carmen Townsend and the Shakey Deals. We learned Carmen and her band, all from Cape Breton, are currently working with Violent Femmes singer/guitarist/songwriter and now producer Gordan Gano. They're playing tonight at the Capital (free cover, remember?), along with Gary Beals, Share, Mike Trask and Mudhill, Slowcoaster and Grand Theft Bus.
And speaking of tonight, we're most excited about two downtown events:
- We're hitting up the no-case being held at reNeu Boutique at 6:15 p.m. The Divorcees, Adam Puddington and the Proof, Ruth Minnikin and The Reels are playing the ECMA No-Case Hay Sale Hootennany, among racks of vintage and Fredericton-produced clothing and accessories.
Also a priority for us is the Music Nova Scotia showcase being held at the Back Nine Bar, attached to Mexicali Rosa's. Ghost Bees, Ryan Cook, Jon McKiel, Great Plains, Dog Day, Wintersleep, and the Tom Fun Orchestra are there starting at 9 p.m.
And now, naptime.
