800 Prospect at the Black Swan
Last night I Met Rebecca and Josh at Music Centre Canada and Josh showed me the recording studio. It was sweet! Josh recently recorded the album "City of No Light" for the band "Ghosts of of Modern Man"... it's pretty damned good, you should check them out - it's a heavy-dark style of music which has plenty of commercial appeal.
Also, I had the opportunity to play a (~1990) Matchless DC-30 combo amp last night! WOW, I am selling my Mesa/Boogie DC-3, yes I am. When I come back from travelling I am getting a REAL amp, like this beauty. Yes.
Later we went to the Black Swan and watched Josh's band 800 Prospect play - very cool! Josh really brings an energy to the show - I saw a different side of him last night that I had not seen before. His stage presence is very energetic, but with style. I think their gig started out a little rough, but by the end they glued together very well, and I must mention that the song "Break Away" was very cool, as well as their awesome cover of "Hotel California".
