Resorts World Casino/Bar 360 4/19/12 Queens, New York

Probably the coolest stage we have played on so far Bar 360 at Aqueduct in the Resorts World Casino is definitely an experience and great exposure for a band like ours as the people traffic is pretty constant for those who watch a number or two, Quite a few onlookers really enjoyed the Michael Jackson segment especially well. Then there were those who stayed the entire 3 sets which we very much appreciate. It was a blast to play and have a return engagement and we hope to be back real soon.

I was not able to hear Eric at tonights show so missed out on all the guitar solos I enjoy so much.



Jamie snuck a few rare overhead shots before security asked her to desist.



the view from the bar.



I gave myself extra time to get to the casino but still found no time to get Jamie and myself some dinner, after the first set I passed by to say hello to Steve and Richard and Steve offered me one of his Fish Taco's, Now normally I say "thanks very much but no thanks" but I have been wanting to try the recently trendish Fish Taco for some time so I accepted. Served on a soft Corn Tortilla and quite tasty save for the spicy hot seasoning that I had in the last bite and right before returning to stage. Thanks for the Taco Steve.

Resorts World Casino/Bar 360 2/2/12 Queens, New York

Bar 360 at the Resorts World Casino offered us a most unique stage to perform on offering a three hundred and sixty degree view from stage as well as being our first casino performance. On the grounds of aqueduct raceway in Queens, New York is a slots only gambling "Racino" (I use gambling for lack of a better word all you shriners out there) offering complete smoke-free entertainment until the wee hours, most impressive.

The band delivered three one hour sets to an appreciative and ever changing crowd of onlookers (there were quite a few who stuck around with us most of the night as well) as is the nature of playing a casino since not many are there to watch the band all night, the next step is to build a casino following and before you know it we could be competing with Wayne Newton. After our second set the A/V crew got a handle on what our show is about and Mike the sound engineer was yelling "Billy Idol!!!" at Rob dressed as Billy Idol and then asked me most good naturally "Who are you supposed to be Phyllis Diller ?" after which I replied "I have heard many things in my life but never Phyllis Diller" turns out that was a stock personality for Mike.

The Green Room at World Resorts Casino was far away enough from the stage that I wondered if anyone gave a second glance at Rob or Nancy in Full Billy Idol or Cyndi Lauper Regalia,... This is Queens, NAH!!!





Jamie had SLOTS of fun taking some photos too, as you can see. Thanks for taking the pics Jamie.
