THAT FIRST GIG
August 8, 1999
A lucky few at Don Hill's (NYC) witnessed the serendiptious genesis of this band
The first gig was an unrehearsed jam band put together as a fill-in because Chuck's other band
Suburban Dog's guitarist could not make gig(?)... Since Steve McGovern had booked us a personal favor, instead of cancelling I scrambled to fill the slot. Responding to last minute calls, the night featured
Joe Taino's ballsey blues guitar & latin vocal,
Chuck Brownley's stumble groove bass & vocal angst,
Victor Jones' nuclear jazz/funk drumming & vocal humor,
Kevin Burrell's world influenced percussion & non-sequitor sounds, unexpectedly joined by
Kiku Collins on trumpet...
"Red House"
Recorded by
David Nolan
... whom I must note hired this band for his wedding based on this night ...
Our First & Biggest Fan! RIP Dave
