Can't Catch Me July 1, 2008

More "Live" recordings this time from the Commodore Ballroom on Granville Street in Vancouver during 1981. It was Muddy Waters show and instead of booking a local opening act, they looked to the Victoria talent pool and came up with Uncle Wiggly,s Hot Shoes Blues Band to fit the bill.

DRIVE IN MOVIE THEATRE

For one night only, Saturday, August 16, 2008 there will be an outdoor theatre set up at South Shawnigan Lake called the "Lake Oasis Drive In". That's right folks, jump in your car, drive up the Malahat to the South Shawnigan turnoff and follow the signs to enjoy an afternoon and evening that includes a show & shine, live music, concession by the Beacon Drive In and three movies with authentic commercials in between (nothing like dancing ice crean bars and a hot dog jumping into the bun!). The audio will be transmitted through your am/fm radio so no speaker boxes will be hanging off your window. Mark it on your calendar and step back in time with us for an experience you can't get anywhere else on Vancouver Island this summer.
