90’s Shout Out for Engine 88

Always nice to see that Engine isn’t completely forgotten. Nice mention in SFGate this week in Best Bay Area Bands from the 90s. We’re on page 22, rubbing shoulders with some good company. A nice honor to be included, and as always with lists like this there are criminally-absent bands I can think of like the Mo’fessionals, Overwhelming Colorfast, Van Gogh’s Daughter, the Sneetches, and on and on. Still, it’s fun to page through. http://blog.sfgate.com/loaded/2012/05/21/1990s/

Shows

Ok, so I have been getting a little behind on announcing shows on this blog.

So, upcoming:
  • Curtis Bumpy is at the Brick & Mortar Music Hall on Feb 18, 2012, with Afrofunk Experience. We’ll be joined by Latrice Barnett and David James will be pulling double-duty. THIS IS WHERE THE FUNK WILL BE.
  • I’ll be at the Rockit Room with another new band, ZZ Topless, on Feb 25, 2012, with Mary Redente, Peter Marietta, Jeffrey Martina, and Peter Libby.

And a couple of retroactive archives to add, as meager as my gigging schedule has been over the last few months:

  • Played at the Napa City Nights Festival on Sept 9, 2011, with a new band; tentatively named Hit Play, with Boris Dig, Ben Trumbo, Herman Eberitzsch, and Dave Powell.
  • Curtis Bumpy played the 11/11/11 party at Ag’s house.
  • Curtis Bumpy (with Omega Rae) just played at Pier 23 on Jan 29, 2012.

 

Curtis Bumpy shows

Playing catch up. Missed a listing for our last hit at Pier 23, which went down on June 26 2011. Was fun! We had Latrice and Jerry in the house.

Got a few more Bumpy shows lined up too:

  • July 30, 2011: Brick & Mortar (formerly CODA).  Sadly, I’ll miss this one as I’ll be on vacation.
  • August 19, 2011: Jupiter/Berkeley Music Fest.
  • October 9, 2011: Pier 23.

Stay tuned for details.

Curtis Bumpy @ CODA, 12/17/2010

Crikey. The thing about Facebook is it renders all other communication methods almost obsolete. Certainly this blog anyway… anyway, playing tonight at Coda with the Bumpy. Scott Jensen joins us, along with Jerry Kennedy and Latrice Barnett. Omega Rae says she might come through too, I hope she does. It’s amazing to have so many incredible, kick-ass singers in one group. It almost isn’t fair. Your gain.
