POSTERS OF 2010


JOHNNY WINTER 


This poster still hangs above the bar. People often say "That show didn't actually happen here though, did it?" It sure as hell did. I was tending bar that night and didn't get a chance to meet him. He wasn't one of these guys that hangs out in the green room. He was escorted on to the stage and when he was done he was escorted to his tour bus. Like a unicorn, or a Polk-a-roo - he eluded me.

ROBERT GORDON

A Rockabilly legend from the 70's R.G. has played This Ain't Hollywood numerous times. At this particular show, I went back stage to get my photo taken with him and when I went to hug him I spilled his vodka all over his shirt. He's known for being a little bit grouchy at times and I was fully expecting him to yell at me. But instead he said "That's refreshing!" because it was like a sauna in there. This mans voice will melt your panties away. *swoon*

PUNK RODS & DOWNBOY album release party

Punk Rods produced this CD at the infamous Grant Avenue recording studio. People who remember the Punk Rods will remember the crazy shows that included mosh pits, throwing of pumpkins, glass eating, and other disturbing, yet memorable antics.

THE GREASEMARKS & 32 GUNRACK

The Greasemarks are an excellent rockabilly band. I believe they are originally from Toronto, but are now based out of Hamilton. I could be wrong. I will possibly look into that. Okay. I just did... if you google them, there's one link that says "Greasemarks - Nasty Guelph Rockabilly" and the next one says "Greasemarks - Nasty Toronto Rockabilly" .... what the? Wanna look into them more? Go to their website: http://www.greasemarks.com
As for 32 Gunrack, they were a band that people loved to watch. Everyone who saw them were in love with them. From the sultry voice of Tammy Lively and the mesmerizing guitar of Robbie Dootes Elmer and the genius lyrics of Darryl Gould - this was a band that was guaranteed to go places. And then they quit. I still haven't forgiven any of them. Check this link out!

BOB BRYDEN & CHRIS CLAUSE
Hahahah Okay - anyone who knows these guys is probably looking at this poster like "WTF?" hahah. If you don't know them, you have to understand that these guys are peace loving hippies. This poster makes no sense. I was asked to do a poster, so I looked up a couple photos and put them on a black page. I couldn't help but notice how they both looked like they were in a death metal band. I whipped this poster together as a joke and sent it to Lou at This Ain't Hollywood as a joke. I expected him to laugh about it and I would send him something new. But he loved the irony and humour of it so he printed them up. So funny!!
