    Gotta love those reeds!

    We're a big band! The clarinet player also plays a mean tin whistle, and we have tuba, trombone, stand up bass (he switches between the beast and an electric bass), and the most versatile drummer in the Bay Area (IMHO, of course )

    If you check out the links in my signature you'll get an idea of the melange of (mostly original) music we play.

    The t-shirt is purely practical. It can get quite warm in a small venue when we're playing a bunch of up tempo dance tunes and whipping the crowd into a lather. Also, in general, I tend to play hard and sweat so a lightweight t-shirt is my usual top of choice.

    You need to get on the list to play at Devil's Canyon, make it to kilt night and gig in one. Or pick a venue in a sort of central BA location and we'll just HAVE to have an extra kilt night some time.

    We've contacted Devil's Canyon a couple of times but haven't heard back--which is pretty typical (and understandably so) of brewpubs. Problem is, we can't/won't play for free. We're an 8 piece band with members from all over the Bay Area who at the least need to be compensated for gas money, bridge fair, etc., plus some gracious hospitality. But if DC wants a show, we can deliver in spades.

    As far as kilt nights, I'm kilted at every show we play so grab a couple of kilted friends and c'mon down and check us out.
