MoonRunners UPDATE - Bio Info

This info was provided by the band:

Moonrunners


The band consists of 4 members.

Ross Burant, lead vocals/rythym guitar, is fifteen and goes to Canterbury High School.

Moonrunners play classic 70's, 80's style rock and love to rock out night after night. They've been a band for just about 2 years and hope to stay together all through high school.

Influences include Bad Company, Led Zeppelin, Queen, the Doobie Brothers, Boston, Supertramp, and Deep Purple. Favourite hang out is Retrotown music, where Zac works. Hobbies are road hockey and jammin'.

.... whatever you do, don't yell "CAR!!" in the middle of their set.

MOONRUNNERS - SAT, DECEMBER 1ST @ SONNY'S!

Woody's Smilin': Drummer Found!

Chixie Dicks Update:

In our Spinal Tap-ish quest to find a drummer of permanent status, I'm pleased that Mark Craig, of Grandpa Punk (check sp) (and, I believe: Randy Peters - check detail please) fame, is now available. (All I know, in short order, is that he has a great Ottawa punk accumen and has evolved and transcended well through the years)

He comes with great experience and I trust Bill Connors' character judgement in blending people on a project.

And we are just that: A PROJECT!

We don't work for pay - just charity. And we try to put more into an act than normal as a result.

Chixie Dicks are still workin' hard to prepare for Friday, November 16th as a solo act at Sonny's. We're also hoping to have a full compliment Saturday the 17th to open for Blackboard Nails. If we have even a modest availability of members, we'll still do a scaled down and shortened opening set for BBN. It'll still be sharp and full of our regular mirth.

That is all for now!
