The Irish Circle 11/13/10 Rockaway Beach, Queens, New York

There have been White Wedding Banners, Flyers, Postcards, Hawkers, EPK's, Electronic Banners, Magazine Mentions, Newspaper Ads, Our Name in lights on the Marquee and even Duratrans but this is the first White Wedding Poster.



Who knew that Far Rockaway Queens held such a nice and spacious establishment as the Irish Circle ? I knew we werent playing a typical dive bar (not that there's anything wrong with that) but was pleasantly surprised to arrive and get a look round only to find Diamond Dave enjoying a piping hot Chicken pot oval pie as we prepared to set up gear. The crowd at the bar were Very Vocal in their requests and fortunately we pulled a few out of our hats to crowd please ("Need You Tonight", "Stand Back" & "Jessies Girl") and by the end of the night the crowd was pleasing us with nonstop dancing, singing and gyrating.



After the smoke cleared all that was left was Tambourines, Devo Hats and Rubik's Boxes



What was her name again ? Was it Jackie ?

Napper Tandys 11/5/10 Miller Place, Long Island

Our sophomore show at Napper Tandy's found us a regular monthly attraction replete with canvas banner and advertisement's up in the Loo. Fine by Me, this is called beer room success in my book and theres very little that I can say negatively about success whichever way you slice it. Top that off with an Energetic, Dancing and Appreciative crowd and I must digress. Actually I am Stuck with all this running on of sentences writer's block (JERK) and Effing Language. BRB





Cyclone Ranger.



Our T-Shirt winner of the night. Joey answered our Rick Springfield question before we even asked it, and I mean Really. Well, He said "General Hospital"

Congratulations Joey.



White Wedding, Now amongst the corporate Giants.



Spiccoli and myself stopped off at Friendly's gig-prior in the strip mall for a few Friend-z Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Sundaes. For Dinner I ordered an Chipotle Firecracker Chicken Sandwich on Jalapeno Cornbread (sounds so much better than what I tasted that was still awesome mind you) which consisted of Chipotle Chicken, Monterey Jack Cheese, Lettuce,Tomatoes and Red Onions in a Honey Chipotle Sauce (DELICIOUS)

O' Flanagans 10/15/10 New York City

I must admit that these photos are a bit dark (They were taken with a flash) but hey O' Flanagans is kind of a dimly lit bar nice as it is. It was great to be invited back after a self imposed No Live Music Summer on the part of the venue and the crowd was certainly there but we had a bit of bad timing due to the fact that there was a Yankees vs. Texas Rangers game on tonight and we decided (and rightfully so) to go on with our first number AFTER the game, We wisely chose the Journey tune "Dont Stop Believing" to play off the Yankees and to play us on. Alas the White Wedding band was postponed by the worlds oldest profession ,....err ,... i mean the worlds Favorite Pastime. We Played Three Hours without a break and Rocked the house.

Napper Tandy's 10/1/10 Miller Place, Long Island

While this was a completely new crowd to us we had the dance floor jumping by the second set and won over the now somewhat lubricated crowd. Napper Tandy's is a nice spacious room and the in-house D.J. was very accommodating to us and our act keeping the revelers busy between sets and emceeing for the band before each segment.







What lots of bands subsist on for road gigs, Bottled Water and Peanut Butter Cups.

Bally Bunion 9/25/10 Brooklyn, New York

This was a fun and different gig for us as there was a "built-in" audience in attendance for reasons other than frolicking,cavorting and White Weddening. In other words a Post-Wedding gig was happening in the neighboring room after the reception and a whole new crowd joined our (not to say old but just "OUR") crowd for some dancing, calisthenics, one handed pushups and conical hat wearing. My Peers were at this show (Joe,Thomas, John) making it very special to me.

Songs debuted - Eye Of The Tiger, Boys Of Summer, I Think We're Alone Now/Physical/Break My Stride/Cars (MEDLEY) and Fame.

The Water Witch Club 9/10/10 Monmouth Hills, New Jersey

The Water Witch Club in Monmouth Hills, New Jersey is certainly amongst the most Beautiful and comfortable buildings I have been in and I knew that the Drums (spelled S.N.A.R.E.) would sound wonderful in the arched almost vast wooden room in which we performed (and they did) and was confident that the band would play very well (and we did) due to the laid back atmosphere of the event, an Back to the 80s Party which well,... We are perfectly suited for.

I regret that we as a professional band could not partake in the Kamikaze Ice Luge but was honored to play music for one just the same, Keep in mind that this was a Very "Rural" as in Dirt Road Gig so we needed to assure that we would find our way out of the winding woods to Party On Again.



4/6 of the band.

Bally Bunion 8/21/10 Brooklyn, New York

This is the real weepy part of the story beginning Oh my Brothers wherein your narrator and friend had quite the Dickens of a toothache five hours previous to showtime which has always been a timing concern of mine but some Extra Strength Tylenol and a few glasses of Cabernet pulled me through with flying colors, By the time I actually started drumming any dental diversion had completely left me. We had a Great gig at the Bunion and the crowd keeps getting just that much bigger each time we perform there.

Special thanks to the Solid Gold Dancers and to my Simcha who purchased a 40 ounce Colt 45 for me to sip at from behind the drumkit And special thanks to Jamie for taking all the Fantastic pictures.

















Of course afterwards I knoshed on some French Fries with Brown Gravy at the local diner which is the toothache friendly food just below Mashed Potatoes and Potato Salad on the list.
