Tea Party

We went to see the re-united Tea Party this weekend.  It was amazing to the original members together again.  We have seen Tea Party a great many times over the years, it is an experience.  Jeff Martin, Jeff Burrows and Stuart Chatwood disbanded in 2005.  We had also seen a Jeff Martin solo show and it was spectacular, he is the Canadian dark poet.  He is so multi-talented and plays so many instruments.

They played all of our favorite songs, ‘Walking Wounded’, ‘Temptation’, ‘The Messenger’, ‘Fire in the Head’ and of course, ‘Heaven Coming Down’.  They also did ‘Release’, the song they donated all the proceeds to the White Ribbon Campaign http://www.whiteribbon.ca/ against violence towards women.  Jeff Martin said “We’re back!” and that they are currently working on a new album and that he now lives in Australia. 

The Tea Party currently has their website domain http://www.teaparty.com/ for sale and it could go for millions in the political climate.  For now, it is still their website and it says “No politics…Just Rock and Roll”.

Night Seeker - Deaner from Fubar

We saw Deaner from Fubar’s band Night Seeker at the Starlite in Edmonton.  Deaner came out on stage wearing a Darth Vader mask and a cape.  Night Seeker has an old school AC/DC sound.  They played a combination of their songs and played a few cover's of Iron Maiden and AC/DC.  The crowd was crazy as Fubar 1 & 2 were filmed in Alberta, so it felt like a hometown show.   

It didn’t take long and Deaner was drinking Pilsner and saluting his partner in crime Terry.  At this point he only had his underwear and his guitar.  It is by far one of the most original shows we have ever been to.  After the show we asked for a sandwich picture and he was happy to oblige, in his British underwear.
