Troutbreath | McCafferty and NAZARETH are experiencing a resurgence of sorts with the release of their latest "BOOGALOO" album on CMC International records. Contrary to the trend, this is no cash in reunion record, in fact, the group has never broken up. Year after year they have maintained a constant schedule of touring and recording that few acts would even attempt yet, they haven't gotten much notice in contemporary circles, that is until now. Of the original four members, three remain to carry the proto-metal torch and in the process have made some of the best music in their enviable careers. "BOOGILOO" features enough heavy riffing and hard rock melody to scare the pants off of bands a third their age. These grandpas can and do take every opportunity to show that thirty years on they remain as loud and proud as ever. You hear that? You young punks better hang on to your pants. - Thu, 22 May 2003 12:37pm | ||
King Bong User Info... | We will see who's pants are down after some Bong cookies! We are gonna have soo much fun!!! - Thu, 22 May 2003 3:53pm | ||
King Bong User Info... | I just found out that Nazareth has requested that only 250 tix be sold even though that bar sits 350 or more....so get your tix fast Naz heads cause they are going to sell out! Also check out the TC and the Monday for articles on the show and on locals King Bong...that would be us.... I always dreamed of riding Nazareth's coat tails.... Bong - Thu, 22 May 2003 3:58pm | ||

Cruiser User Info... | Don't understand why they don't play in Victoria. Same with Prism who played Nanaimo a few weeks ago (but they only had one good song so I don't care so much about that). Anyway "Expect No Mercy" is a Nazareth song that gets stuck in my head at least once a week. - Thu, 22 May 2003 11:58pm | ||

Hippy freak | I think you Bong dudes are right, that sumhippy person seems to be the same one who always posts nasty things about you guys! They really hate your front man too eh? I always think that this person is such a loser, and a coward too. Do you think that the Bong front man is bothered by your little snipes? It seems to me that his band plays all the time, I hear that they are recording, and while I have not seen them, some of my friends have, and really enjoyed themselves. I think you should just give it up. no one cares that much and you must have no life at all. - Fri, 23 May 2003 11:07am | ||

I really do not want to drive all the way there and back but I will if it is the only way. can you save me alot of trouble and let me know if you know anybody in vic who might have two or more tickets that they want to pawn off? Does your band have any extra tickets that they might be able to sell? If I pay you directly in cash can we get on the guest list? - Fri, 23 May 2003 8:53pm | ||

Metal Dude | Whoa, I made pretty good time to Naniamo. Just outside of Duncan I got sucked up by the turbulence behind a big 18-wheeler and only popped loose when he slowed down near the Ferry terminal. It's one of the advantages of being really skinny and having the kind hair that accounts for most of your body weight. - Sun, 25 May 2003 7:49pm | ||
Metal Dude | So wouldn't ya know, I get all the way here, I'm just about to buy a ticket, I reach for my wallet.............it's in my other fuckin' pants man! I left the house in such a hurry..........why is this happening to me? - Mon, 26 May 2003 2:43am | ||

Have you ever seen KB ?..One of the best shows I've seen by a local band, so how could this line up be ,how you say, not quite right?

It's sitting out in the driveway, a mint condition 1971 Datsun 240Z with all the original equipment.
