    There are quite a few topics like this in here.  Frankly, I'd rather
    read about them here than other conferences.

    This is our darling /k /k's band!!

    
    Yo Karen! Is Sluggo playing at the Fish and Game benefit 9/8?
    
    Where are you practicing now? I noticed you're not at Underground
    anymore...

    Well, a little belated review here, but you know what they say...
    Better late than nevah..HA!
    
    
    Mostly-read-only-but-pretty-cool-dude Tim Fennell and I caught Sluggo
    slugging it out in a 3-band affair last Thursday eve at (s)Hits in
    Wormtown (dats Woosta for all you hicks!).  The divine Miz Flattery,
    fronting a 5-man band, executed a flawless vocal performance,
    complimented by her polished stage presence.  Not that I like to be the
    typical, analytical musician's musician when I do hear a band, but it
    quickly because obvious to moi that the fabulous Miz Flattery has had
    vocal training in her past....this was claer in her breath control,
    vibrato, and diction.  The band?  They're good, too!  Not your
    average-fare Heavy Metal band (don't be fooled by the base note in this
    conf!), or your Sominex-based Bar act...these guys know how to lay a
    groove.  Also, the band has a clean, tight sound, with all instruments
    and vocals well distinguished.  Sluggo offers a somehwat lighter fare
    of mainstream R&R...performing covers by INXS, P Floyd, Jeff Beck,
    Alanah Miles...you get da picture.  My favorite song of the set was
    their opening number, which just happens to be an original composition.
    
    In summary...as someone who usually doesn't care to go out to catch 
    live music, I'd go hear Sluggo again, and would recommend them to
    others in this conference.

    PS - As far the openers...Bleck-O!  The only hope was for the woman
    vocalist/bassist who was a cross vocally and stylistically between
    janis joplin and that woman from Concrete Blonde.  The guitar player
    in the bowling shirt was obnoxious and just had to go!

    .....well is my face red or what??....i just found out that this note
    was in here.....friz clued me in....thanks for the positive response
    guys.....i still want to kill last thursdays sound
    guy...grrrssrrrrrs..../k

Buck, Does this have anything to do my comments about RR and Jake E Lee?

As for Sluggo - Good selection of tunes and done really well.  It was too bad
they couldn't have played longer.  I know that Karen was not happy with the
monitors or the general sound when she heard the last band, but they did an
outstanding job despite the soundman...

I want to hear you again sometime when the sound is right.  I'm not a musician,
(but I collect stereo gear as a hobby) ;-)  My first impression is usually based
on the sound and it was not good last Thursday.  

It's easy to criticize sound people since I've never done it - although my
neighbor might disagree...

Seems like bad sound is going around lately huh between Sluggo and Paris 
Burning

I will see you again when I get a chance.

>Buck, Does this have anything to do my comments about RR and Jake E Lee?

    Nope.  Our own Goddess du F-dot calls me Buckeley.  I think it has a
    nice ring to it, so I modified it phonetically to read Buck E Lee.
    
    As far as Jake and Randy go, methinks we shouldn't discuss it anymore...
    it's like religion or politics...too controversal!  8^)

>I want to hear you again sometime when the sound is right.  I'm not a musician,
    
    The only think I heard weird was that annoying monitor feedback.  Also,
    the solos could have been louder.

    Goes wif da biz.
    
    The one, the only...  Buck E Lee

    ...SLUGGO - New years eve at the Charter CLub in Worcester......on 
    Indian Lake......./k

    ...OK Kiddies...new dates.....January 25th, the PAV club in downtown
    Clinton.....there's a band opening for us and we go on around 9:45/10pm
    playing  to midnite. February 1st at Tammany Hall on Pleasant st, Worcester,
    Ma.....we play from 9:45 to 1:45...all night....!...we're going on  a
    bit of a hiatus after these two dates until end of march/April
    to accommodate travel and wedding plans (my bass player)..so 
    come catch us at one of these two shows cuz god knows what we'll be
    like after that much time off!!!........./k 

    /k
    
    Is the PAV club in CLinton the same club as "Rythms"?  I'm doing
    sound for a band this weekend at Rythms in Clinton?!

    Sluggo will be appearing at a benefit to raise money to aid  a Worcester 
    resident who is in a diabetic coma -  this friday April 24th at the P.N.I.
    Club (dont' ask me what it means!) off Kelly Square, Worcester, Ma.
    If you're in the neighborhood and could help with a donation ( i think 
    the cover is $5) then please stop by....there is also another band
    playing with us, I believe their name is BiG Dog ......./k 

    
    Not to be confused with the NaCl dog :').

    .....-1...definitely no confusion there.........;'))............/k

    I think the P.N.I is a Polish club with a decent size hall down stairs.
    Off of Kelly Sq. you head down Millbury St.
    Check with your band mates to confirm this,because I'm far from
    certain.
