See you in July,Cheers!!!
Jay, this Rockabilly
Jay, this Rockabilly Theme...what are we talking about here? Classic Rock? Rock 'n' Roll? Which era of music please?
130 Dollars and Full House
130 Dollars and Full House most closely match the "Rockabilly" label - they're a bit of good-time, guitar-driven throwback rockabilly, with a Japanese tinge. The Birds and the Bees play older (mainly 60s-era, I think)upbeat covers, and the Deadly Vibes are more straightforward, energetic modern Rock n Roll.
They're all really good, fun bands to watch.
Hope that helps. Overall, I think the sound will generally fit the umbrella description of "rockabilly."
Hi~Bugsy, I am so happy
Hi~Bugsy,
I am so happy because this question is first in here!!!
I like any music if come from in soul,
So I want to do different theme for another people
but is hard in Tainan!!!
Because so many young people play Punk,Metal,Pop...music,
I need different player or bands more,
Maybe you have friends can play tell me plese,
It's good news for me!!!
5/31(Sat) & 6/28(Sat)
Higher Place is Classic Rock band will show in Best of Jam,
It's great in Tainan for Classic Rock player,
6/6(Fri)
Rock'n'Roll music in Rockabilly Show,
Maybe change theme for Old Style Show is good!!!
I am try now,Maybe have Reggae and Blues Show in July,
You have any idea can tell me,
Thank you!!!Thank you!!!Thank you!!!
Jay, not a problem. I'll
Jay, not a problem. I'll support your place. See ya soon. At least you are trying to promote something good in a small city like Tainan. I applaud your efforts. Are you saying this Saturday is classic rock? What time? Exact address please? I'll check my class schedule and head there right after.
It looks like the show
It looks like the show starts at 11:30 with the Godfather band. Scroll down and see the list for the May shows. Here is the address:
Address:
It is on the South West quarter of the Simen Road and Minzu road circle.
(06)2223238
B1F, No.314,Sec.2,Ximen Rd.,Tainan
It might be hard to find, but if you are going around the circle, it is just past the quarter that usually has the working girls on it. When you are in the right quarter, look for a glass door set back from the main door opening and go downstairs.
Thanks a million Jazz. I
Thanks a million Jazz. I noted the address. It was really nice of you to give me exact directions. Shall head there tomorrow night. Ya, Godfather seems to be the opening act. I would imagine they are all Indie bands, trying to run some jam sessions. Lets see, sounds like a fun night!
Jay, Will be there Saturday!
Jay,
Will be there Saturday! What time do the doors open please? I have gotten the address down in Chinese.
Jay, I am sick and tired of
Jay,
I am sick and tired of listening to the house band at Pioneer. It got old, after a while. Besides, the only person the singer seems to be entertaining is - himself. Every time my date recommended a tune, the guy had countless excuses why it cannot be played. One time, the guy goes - oh this is not the right time to play the song (a Chinese song), can someone tell this guy, the customers are the ones paying his salary?
I couldn't believe my ears!
22:00 open!!!Thank you!!!
22:00 open!!!Thank you!!!
Thanks, see you around that
Thanks, see you around that time!
A truely awesome place to
A truely awesome place to hang out. Reminds me of the underground music scene in New York and Tokyo. Dead smack, in the basement of a house, music? They got music all right - and simply fantastic stuff! Guys, don't worry about expat bars and suds at $200 a hit, this place takes the cake. Laid back, friendly and it simply rocks! Truely represents what music is all about. It takes a while to find it, BUT ITS WELL WORTH THE EFFORT. I raise my hat to you Jay, for putting on a fab show.

Jay, when you say LIVE AND MOVIE, does that mean that you guys will play a LIVE CONCERT ON A DVD, and everybody watches it and drinks beers, or you will play the DVD first, and later on, there will be a live Indie band, playing songs by the original band?

From my experience there it is a live concert DVD. Anytime there isn't any music at the Checkered Record jamming or band practice could break out (also depending on how many customers are there).
