The Motor Primitives at the Harmony

I have to point out that we're playing in Waukesha this Saturday (12/1/7) and I bumped the very important announcement for the upcoming show to bring you pictures! So, please read the previous post to keep up to date. This post is simply a walk down "memory lane."

Last Friday we played an "unofficial show" at the Harmony. Twas the day after Thanksgiving and Mike (spouse and chief Tshirt salesman), talked Alison into letting us play a low key show so that extended famBly (in for the holidays) could see us in action.

The deal was that there would be no cover and no sound support. We brought our own PA and our friend Bob W. volunteered to twiddle the knobs to make us sound good. And boy did he do a great job! Thanks Bob!!!!!

As it turns out, lots of people get really excited about the prospect of escaping the house over the long weekend. FamBly is great but, the show provided a break from the long bouts of sitting and talking and sitting and.....

It was great to see a bunch of Ed's famBly show up. They were at a central table. Mike's famBly were toward the back. The Aniv de la Rev FamBly were front and center. Then, there were bunches of people I didn't recognize. But they looked like they were having fun!

We Had a solid core of dancers that night. Our fabulous elbow dancers shared the floor with a new crew of dancers that had a style of their own. Big thanks to the one dancer in the white shirt who circulated the tip jar for us. We've now got enough money to record! Yippie!!!!

I thought it was a fun show. I hope others enjoyed it as much as I did.

I love that picture of Jeff! How does he do that?

And, Pam, how do you manage to make your head melt like that?

I believe that was Mary Trainor (a friend of mine and neighbor of Robin's) circulating the tip jar for us. She didn't think people would be as likely to tip if they had to walk up to the stage to do it, so she took it upon herself to help out. Thanks, Mary!

Thanks to the anonymous photographer, as well! Pictures: good. No pictures: bad.

My head melts on a routine basis. You just need a special lens to see it.

Mike took these pictures. He always gets upset when I don't give him credit!

Mike doesn't like the drummer apparently... or maybe I'm just too spastic for his little digicam.

Poor Robin...we need a drum riser like KISS had...goes up in the air when Robin hits a button...

Poor Mike. It is considered proper to credit the photographer, though.

Do we have a drummer? Just kidding.

Is there a button that picks him up after falling off the back of the riser?

You guys really ARE a rawk band!
