I know many of you are regulars at our gigs and know Little Havana well. But once in a while I meet someone who's not fortunate enough to have been there yet (because you should frequent it once in a while even when we're not playing there). Thus, to help you out, here's a link to a Map of Little Havava.
Now there's absolutely no excuse for not popping by for a boogie.
Not, if you've being paying attention, new news but still the most important news of the week. It's ...
I know it's another picture of me. But, you see, the rest of the band wasn't green like me. Perhaps the lure of photographic attention will have them coming over to join me stage right next Saturday Night.
Here we are. That picture of me in green from the last gig. Just makes you want to get up and do it all over again. Oh, and we are. Next Saturday, the fourth, back upstairs at Little Havana.
Thanks a bunch to Sue for taking the picture and letting me use it. Hopefully see you, and your camera, along with everyone else in just eight days time.
There I was wandering through a small village somewhere up in the mountains in Laos, and my phone rings. How, I don't know, but five minutes later it was sorted, Krude will be playing live again on November the fourth. Yes, that's next weekend. I'm afraid that I've only just returned so the poster and details will have to wait until the weekend, but take this as the advance notice that you'll be needing your dancing shoes next Saturday.
Following up on the huge success of the Jonker Walk Music Festival, Mark, of the Rock n Roll Blues Cafe down in Melaka, is now organizing a series of gigs/jam sessions every Saturday & Sunday afternoon in November, down by the riverside, behind the tourist centre, just follow your ears. So if you're in town and getting a little tired of all those red buildings, or you're just looking for a good excuse to get on down to Melaka town, go check out some good ol' rock 'n' roll music.
It's that sad time of year when holidays predominate the calendar and there's no gigs on the horizon. Which means it's a good time for us to be learning new songs, and a good time for any of you to recommend those you might like to hear at the next gig (news of which will appear here soon). Just click the comment button below and send us your suggestions.
I'm sorry, still no pictures from the gig last weekend. They are coming, promise, including one of me lit up luminous green, or so it looked on the back of the camera on the night.
In the meanwhile some of you might remember that I promised you more photos from Melaka. So here in the glorious black and white in which they were shot (anyone remember film?) are, above, Les, wailing on his Les, and, below, Johnny Coma, taking time off from organizing the whole bash, to front his Boneshakers.
I've not even finished uploading my pictures from this years mega-bash and already they are planning next year's follow up. Word is they are aiming for Merdeka Weekend again, and next year is, of course, Malaysia's 50th birthday, so it should be a huge party. Probably a little soon yet to block off your diaries but keep an eye on this site and we'll let you know when to start making your reservations.
Just a magnificent night: from the first chord to the last cry for an encore, the house was full and the house was rockin'. It's difficult to imagine that audiences get much better than all of you last night. A big Thank You from the band for making it a great night.
More thanks to our sound guys for delivering the best sound we've ever managed in Little Havana. We'll be using you again.
Finally an apology for not having any pictures to show you yet, but they will be coming, promise, so check back again in the coming days.
