DOLLAR$ FOR DEADBEAT$! (S&TS)

[richjones]

Hi,
I posted this in the Sinatras thread already but I'm not sure how many people are going to see it there so I decided to give it it's own damn topic!

I know everyone is aware of the tour being cancelled but what a lot of people might not know is that Roger Rags from S&TS is already in the UK and somewhat stranded here after arriving from Europe off another tour, only to find his tour cancelled. So he's sofa surfing in london right now and can't leave until the end of the month.

SO... with that in mind we've decided to put on a one-off gig to help out Roger so he can afford to eat and generally just get by while he's here.

The gig is going to be Sunday night May 24th (it's a bank holiday weekend so no work the next day) at the 12 Bar. We're assembling an 'all-star' band called Dollars For Deadbeats who are going to play some S&TS songs and some gems from the vaults. Roger and Dave Kerr from Sorry & The Sinatras will be joined by guests Ginger, Acey Slade, Chris McCormack, Jorma Vik (The Bronx), Eureka Machines and members of The Loyalties, Junkstar, Role Models and some possible surprise guests. Eureka Machines will also be playing a short set of their own.

This is all really last-minute and details are still being worked out but it would be great to see as many of you down there as possible. It'll be a great night and you'll be helping Roger out as well.

Tickets will be available on the door from 4PM on the day of the show for a bargain price of £3 and it all kicks off with The Eureka Machines at around half nine (there is another gig beforehand). The 12 Bar is staying open until at least 2am and they're very generously getting some great drink specials together for us as well.

cheers!
Rich

I'm more than up for this although I just checked the 12 bar website and found this listed on that day

Sunday 24th May DIRT CHOIR + RODBORO + THE HELICOPTER GUNSHIPS + LONDON DARLINGS + THE HUMAN + open mic £3 Enterprise Rehearsal Studios present - To book a slot, telephone 020 7379 1166 or call in at Enterprise Studios 1-6, Denmark Place, WC2 (directly behind the 12 Bar Club). Otherwise arrive at the 12 Bar Club at 5:30pm to book on the day. More info

I do hope the above has been cancelled.

mind you at the end of that list it does say "+ open mike" - maybe the plan is to grab said mike and not give it back

Yep, because we're doing this so last minute our gig will take place after this. BUT... the above gig is an early start and we've got a late bar that night (2am) and drink specials etc once our gig begins. I'm also lining up some special guests and it's all starting to look pretty exciting to be honest

[richjones]

Just added Acey Slade to the line-up!

[richjones]

It appears that the mighty Eureka Machines are now on board! Guess I'd better get changing that poster yet again....

Obviously evil? Or perhaps you already have plans and will be 300 miles away that night?
Damn, but I'd like to go to that. It does sound ace.

I'll update the poster once you have a new one with a nice big Eureka Machines logo on.
