My band played 1 gig under the "Risky Business" moniker, but we'll be going forward as "Full Tilt". There are only about a million other bands using that name, but I defy you to Google just about any name you can come-up with and not find a band using it!!! Anyway... we're playing a "Promedy" (Comedy show followed by a Prom themed dance) on June 10... it should be a hoot.

Participating in this project has been interesting. Back in the day my bands practiced nearly every day of the week that we weren't playing. As such, they were always well rehearsed and everyone was proficient on their instruments. This band is a group of 4 physicians, a nurse, and just 1 guy with a "regular" job. Trying to rehearse around our unpredictable schedules is a challenge. As such, we're just never going to be as well rehearsed as I would like. Nonetheless, I'm really enjoying it. But if you happen to catch us sometime... cut us a little slack!!!

If there are no pictures....it didn't happen! :-) Don't worry about the lack of rehearsal, just have fun & make those Alembics sing!

It went pretty well. Despite a midnight (yep... I said midnight) START time, we had a decent crowd and they seemed to enjoy it. We didn't want to loose our audience, so we played straight thru from MN to around 3AM.

Um, I have to admit I'm digging the tambourinist's boots; I think we need better pictures.
