Show: Message of Love @ Kensington Circus, 5/3/08

The Bay Area’s Chrissiest Pretenders tribute band will be playing at Kensington Circus Pub this Saturday night, May 3. Family-friendly, in fact it’s practically family-required. I love the Circus. It’s the best place in the East Bay to bump into those friends of yours who just had kids in the last couple of years, who are desperate to get out of the house and have a beer in public but can’t get a babysitter. At least one of my kids will be there.

Message of Love will commence rocking at 9:00.

Show: Message of Love @ Red Devil, 3/15/08

The Chrissiest band I’ve ever been in does its very Chrissiest at the Red Devil Lounge next Saturday, March 15. We’re the first of 3 bands, so come early, come often, and stake out your place on the floor for a good, eye-liner-laced rocking. Headlining is the amazing Stung, who are famous for their extremely entertaining Police act. I love this pairing. In the middle slot is BudaBelly.

Message of Love, Bimbo’s, 5/12/07

So Message of Love is playing at Bimbo’s this Saturday night. I believe a few tickets are available at TicketWeb, though they won’t be for long. We’ll be opening for Tainted Love, who has this amazing ability to sell out two consecutive nights at the large venue every damn time they book there.

Playing at Bimbo’s is always fun, but I hate the fact that I can’t load out while the main act is onstage, as this means my options are to a) leave immediately after we play, b) load my gear into my car and leave it parked on the street while I enjoy a beer or two with my friends, or c) stay at the club until the bloody end. The last time I opted for c, I didn’t get out of there until after 2AM, which is waaaaaaaay too late for an East Bay dad in his early 40s. Option b sucks because I can’t enjoy anything when I’m paranoid about my gear sitting in the back of my car on a city street. So I pretty much have to go with option a, which is why I don’t put too much effort into promoting shows like this. Really, I do enjoy these things; I’d just rather see you when I’m not in a hurry to get out of there.

So: Message of Love. Tainted Love. This Saturday. Bimbo’s. Get tickets early. Or, don’t. (How’s that for enthusiasm?)
