We have set up a RocketHub project to help fuel, literally, our upcoming tour to the Pacific Northwest. Please consider dropping a few bucks into our virtual tank.
Come cheer us on. This is our third match with our pals, GVG. Training has been intense. Tensions are high. The competition will be fiercely fun.
Musician Ed Ivey opened this hip beer and wine lounge in 2010 so it is fairly new and quickly gaining a very good rep. Check out the positive Yelp reviews to give you an idea of how cool 50 Mason Social House is.
Trivia
Ed and I played together years ago in Polkacide. In fact when I auditioned for that band it was at a place that Ed shared with trumpeter, John Lieb.
This Thursday night
June 2 Downtown San Rafael Farmer’s Market
Court St. Plaza off 4th Street

FREE
Kid-friendly
Out of Doors
We always have a good time at this casual, pleasant market.
There’s restaurants on the side of the courtyard where we play. Why not do some shopping and then swing by for a snack or beverage and listen to our tunes?
If your feet get happy, don’t feel shy. Start dancing in the streets!
Mad Ms Trivia:
We made our world debut as a band at this market on July 7, 2005
We spent this weekend and the last at Wally Sound laying down live musical performances onto reel to reel tape. 2 inch tape to be exact. 16 tracks.
The tape rolled, we played and our time art of making music was preserved on magnetized iron oxide particles. There was the occasional punch (a part re-recorded onto the tape) but in essence our performances were continuous and live.
It takes discipline and technique to record this way.
No digital wizardry for this band of talented musicians. Well, not until mixdown. Even then we will not touch the performance. We will not adjust or “correct” notes nor pitch shift or auto tune or quantize.
We like keeping it real.
