I Am Writing This Aboard a 747...

posted by Kevin on November 19, 2009 in Lou Reed

hi everyone, i am writing this on board a 747 heading home from a trip to Prague, and Paris. I went to Prague to perform with Lou Reed at a very special event. It was a gala event celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the Velvet Revolution and the fall of the Iron Curtain. It was held by former President Vaclav Havel, who invited Lou, Joan Baez, Suzanne Vega and Renee Fleming to perform. It was quite a thrill and honor to be a part of this evening, and the people of the Czech Republic were very passionate and celebratory. We performed Lou's songs "I'm waiting for my man," "Dirty Blvd.," and "Guardian Angel," as a trio (along with Fernando Saunders on bass). We then played PERFECT DAY with Renee Fleming and the orchestra.. So now back to Toronto to rehearse with Ty, Jim, and Ed. We are getting ready for these upcoming Christmas shows. Should be fun. i hope we see you somewhere along the way... bye, kev

Friends Making Art

posted by Jim on November 13, 2009 in Brothers Creeggan, Causes, Dave Bidini, Justice for Children and Youths

I've had a few good weeks of seeing some good friends making Art. Two weeks ago my brother Andy and I played a 40th birthday party for Octopus Books in Ottawa. The Bidini Band was on the show with us. It was life affirming to see Dave Bidini rock out the way he always has with the Rheostatics. He has surrounded himself with exciting, convention bashing musicians who take the music higher at every turn. Doug Frieson on Bass, Paul Linklater: guitar, and Don Kerr: Drums. The Rheostatics will always be at the core of what has inspired the Ladies. Seeing Bidini bring back the Punk with a brand new group gave me a huge boost, especially as we are heading into a new era. By the way Tyler and I are rocking a short set at The Gladstone Hotel in Toronto 9PM tonight. It's a benefit for Justice For Children And Youths. They are a brave crew of Toronto lawyers who represent street youths when no one else will. Hope to see you there tonight. jim
