I guess this would be a good time to mention that Dot Dot Dot is doing a one-off, 30-year anniversary show on Friday, July 27 at Mayne Stage (1328 W. Morse Ave.) in Chicago. The show begins at 7:30. 18 and over. Also on the bill: Ono and Illusion Of Safety. This will be the first time the band has played since breaking up in early 1985.
Mayne Stage is an extremely good-sounding venue. It will be worth the extra 3 to 30 to 300 to 3,000 miles you will have to travel on your bicycle to witness this performance.
For those of you who don’t know your
CHEER-ACCIDENT history
as well as you might like,
Dot Dot Dot included two members who went
on to form 66.6% of the Dumb Ask
era: Chris Block and Thymme Jones.
The lineup that will be playing on the 27th will be:
Ross Feller- woodwinds
Jef Bek- Drums
Chris Block- bass
Thymme Jones- trumpet, keyboards
Bring your druthers!
i forgot my druthers. i am not sure if this time ‘druthers’ meant something to keep from being cold, but i suppose it might as well.
other than that – thanks for a fabulous happening.
It was great to see a show at the south pole for the first time in my life! However, my one criticism would be that when the saxophone player switched from baritone to soprano sax mid-song, it was a bit of a jump in range for me to handle. To go from so low to so high without choosing another, say alto or tenor sax, in between seemed a bit intense for me. I like gradualness, so this kind of rocked my boat a bit, but I suppose I survived the storm. Good show nonetheless.
