Yep, it's been five years of EAT DRINK SKATE! Our first show was on June 27th 2002 at a pub called Thursdays with TIM and Shortfall. Time flys, things change, but The Hoosegow is still here.
Come tip some pints and grab some slices at the Zone cuz it's gonna be a gooder. Lesbian Fist Magnet and The Remanes will be kicking it off in fine style.

We don't want to promote something that could get our favorite bar shut down, so we will most likely put together an all ager around that time. - Mon, 28 May 2007 9:24pm

I would love to talk to Andrew in the future about doing shows. Maybe like, once a month. Get some good cash together, get bands, get promotion to attrack more people, get security and sound guys. I'm just busy with some other shows right now, so I can't spend a lot of time working on other ones. - Sat, 2 Jun 2007 12:51pm

Hoosegow Fun Fact #2: Original bassist Brian was escorted out of the band after he tried to fight the other three band members in Vancouver and got tossed in the drunk tank... He's still there (Vancouver, not the drunk tank). Glen Bitters was there when it all went down and has been here ever since. - Wed, 6 Jun 2007 12:04am Edited: Fri, 8 Jun 2007 7:16pm

Hoosegow Fun Fact #3: In his tenure in The Hoosegow, Jay Brown launched himself over his drum kit to kick the shit out of some asshole no less that four times. He played with a broken hand at least twice. In that pic, he's taping the drumstick to his hand so he can play the show. - Fri, 8 Jun 2007 7:21pm

Keep going with the fun facts! I remember when Brian was in the band, that was way back, and I remember one incident quite vividly where Jay flew over the drum kit! Big Fernwood Hall in fact. - Fri, 8 Jun 2007 7:39pm

Hoosegow Fun Fact#4: The band was asked to leave the Cedar Cottage Pub in Vancouver after eating them out of "Ballpark Wings"(which are actually the tops of drumsticks) at 25 cents a piece. The waitress turned pale when burgers were ordered too. - Sat, 9 Jun 2007 9:27pm

Hoosegow Fun Fact #5: Although Laurrel & Hardy had a famous movie called "The Hoosegow", the band was named after a Smut Peddlers' song. Oddly enough, people used to call Jay & Ty "Laurrel & Hardy" due to their skinny and fatness. - Mon, 11 Jun 2007 8:25pm

Hoosegow Fun Fact #6: Big Rick feels like he was demoted now that he's playing drums. If you think you can roll with the big boys, let us know so we can get the big guy playing his guitar again! - Thu, 14 Jun 2007 9:12pm

I'm not sure what it is about Allan & Wright, but we sure do seem to eat there a lot. Even when Bitters and I were up Island working on the documentery, we tried not to go there, but wound up there regardless.

As for the Tour-B-Q, everyone must bow down before it's majesty and greatness. Smokie On! - Thu, 21 Jun 2007 1:16pm

Ah yes, that brings us to Hoosegow Fun Fact # 11: The band started jamming in the Speed Ave. basement. I remember one practice, where there was banging at the door. We opened it and it was fucking cops! this was at like 3 in the afternoon! I still think of those days when I smell cat piss or asbestos.

Hope you are ready to rip it up on Friday! - Tue, 26 Jun 2007 11:41pm

Big thanks to Bill Stuart for the buffet Hoosegow interveiw in the new Monday mag.

Also, the Logan's ad in said Monday says that Hoosegow, LFM, and Remanes are playing on Sunday as well. That's just not the case. - Thu, 28 Jun 2007 6:02pm
