Roadie Chris Takes a Quick Break Inside P.A. High in Dartmouth, N.S.

My buddy Chris gave us a hand moving our gear and setting up for the concert. Seen here in the foray of Price Andrew High School (click here to see the outside of building today)

Bob The Guitar Player Smiling For The Camera


This a picture of Bob our guitar player in front of the bus that was kindly supplied by band friend Richard Bonner of Atlantic Illumination. Richard also ran and supplied supplemental effects for our little concert.

6 Hours Of Set Up Time - 45 Min. of Songs



Setting up for the free concert at Prince Andrew High School. Bill is setting up his drum kit and Bob and Chris are assembling the massive light show that was only exceeded by our ear splitting PA system. There were also some really weird slides projected on the back screen of various nature settings. I can remember while I was playing on stage during the concert, turning sideways to look at Bill our drummer and seeing a 12 foot picture of a spider over his head.

Unfortunately the concert got cut short due to someone pulling the fire alarm. I guess they had a problem with our music.

What Every Living Room Needs


Here's a picture of the stack of amplifiers and speakers in the living room of the purple Band House. There's also a Tapco mixer. Tapco mixers had these volume controls that required the torque of a pipe wrench to adjust.

 Closeup of Kurt looking out door

Here's another picture I just found from around the same time. I never noticed this until I scanned this picture but you can actually see Kurt sticking his head out the door. Click on the picture to see to get a good look at Kurt. Here's what the place looks like now (click here). Back then the place was painted a dark purple color.
