Gorman Winery "Rock Show"

Well what a show this was. This was a 15 set 4 hour show with amazing wines from Chris Gorman like Bulley, and Evil Twin, and great SKA music from Natalie Wouldn't. The day was amazing with 78 degree weather and lots of wine and lots of really fun and sometimes very drunk people. Give you an idea of how this deal went. Doors opened at 12:00 45 people would rush in while the fog machine ran and the band fired up. As you can see from the photo people were having a great time and they brought their own glasses.





Natalie Wouldn't would play 3 songs sets. Giving people enough time to get one pour and taste some great wines. When the 3rd song ended people left and then a quick break and the next flood of wine tasters were rushed in. This went on for 4 hours. It was fun and upbeat . Thanks to Chris Groman and all his help it ended up being a great hit.




By the end of the day the Band was tired, the volunteers were tired, and Chris and his wife Kelly, his parents, Sandy and Don were exhausted. WE had fun and really got to experience a great event.

The Brits are coming.

We are very excited that this great band 2nd Time Lucky is coming to Seattle.

These guys are a poppy punky ska band from sunny Brighton. They formed in July 2003 as a collection of various musicians from other south coast ska bands when the local scene was at a real peak. Since then they had a million people come and go through the band (full story in the blog!). Right now they are saving hard to get a full album recorded.

We were lucky enough to go over to Brighton and do a mini tour with this band and it was a blast. Well this July we are retuning the favor and they are flying across the pond to come play their great British Ska here in the states. If your not familiar with this band you can check them out on their myspace site. We are currently setting up gigs where Natalie Wouldn't and 2nd Time Lucky will share the stage. Hopefully if everything works out we will be playing together in British Columbia at the annual Ska Fest in Victoria. Stayed tuned for more to come on this fun British invasion.

The Q Cafe

So here is a bit about the Q Cafe. "Q Cafe also doubles as a great music venue [visit us on MySpace for all upcoming shows]. With our 238 persons occupancy, no alcohol, solid sound system, tons of free parking, and a classic Seattle urban cafe vibe, it’s one of the up and coming all-ages-venue in Seattle. We’ve hosted open mics, gospel, alternative, hip hop, one grammy winner, jazz, some classical music, and of course, many local musicians."

We are very excited to be playing with Get down Moses. So on Friday April 18th if your not busy you should head out to the Q and have a great evening at the really cool new venue.

Buster and his amazing tongue.

Well the show was fun at El Corozon with Bad Manners. Even though it was an early show we still seem to have some people there and they all seemed into the music. Our set was short and sweet. We started off with Stop and were able to squeeze in Train for our last song.

We were all give only 25 min sets so Bad Manners could play the full hour and thirty mins. I have to thank all the fellas from the Diablotones for back lining gear, special thanks to Steve for being cool and letting me stick my kick in place of his with the New Natalie W. drum head logo.

Shawn and I were hanging out in the Bar before the show and had an opportunity to chat with Buster the title of this post is because of the image you see in these photos. Kevin even was able to hang with Buster out by the Winni pre show. All in all it was fun and we are looking forward to sharing the stage with Bad Manners the next time they come through Seattle. Cheers.

Bad Manners show on April 5th

Come one come all. ok this is going to be one great show, the line up is smoking and what more can you ask for with bands like the Cauz, Georgetown Orbits, The Diablotones, Natalie Wouldn't and the one and only Bad Manners.

It has been a while since our last show with Bad Manners but if they play like they did last time this is going to be one great show.

We have been working on some new material we are hoping to unveil at the show along with some of our regular favorites. F.B.I. Dick, and Dog Gone.

This summers is looking like a good deal of shows for us and it is great to start the spring off with a show like this.
