June 5, 2009 - Doc is Alberta Bound (no, not tied up like a rodeo calf).

While the Doctor was attending a convocation ceremony at the University of Alberta (Edmonton) and a family wedding in Red Deer, MC Mic Control busted out an incredible night of music which was guaranteed to have you movin' and groovin'...not to mention laughin' yer ass off! Our pals the Arrogant Worms were featured...you must check them out. A big Loom-style shout out to Richard Cheese...one can never go wrong with a little fromage!

May 29, 2009 - A Split Shift

Well kids, DJ Doc managed to cover the first hour of the show before handing the baton to MC Mic Control for the remainder of the evening. The MC was running late (natch), while the DJ had to put on his MC hat for a big jazz event here in little ol' Nanaimoville. A fine time was had by all concerned.

Doc and Mic Control joined forces later on that night in a local ten piece band called Decadence. Helmed by Steve Jones (the Sol Hurok of Nanaimo) , Decadence is a rollicking midsized band with a playlist as long as your arm! Mic Control is the baritone sax player in the band, while Doc sat in (also on the baritone sax) for the evening. The highlights of the night were many...notables sitting in with Decadence that evening included Jason Marsalis (yes, "that" Marsalis family), Brad Turner (Metalwood...Juno and National Jazz Awards galore), Christian Fabian (exceptional bassist...the only bassist we know from Malmo, Sweden), and Adam Cormier (ex-Nanaimo drummer, now based in Montreal).

Ooooo, what a night!
