Guster - tina - 09-12-2003

Anyone remember this band when they were opening for the HIP, (2000 era-I think)
They're opening for Sam Robert's here in Kingston on Monday at AJ's.
I remember them as high energy, fun......?
I guess i better get to the bar early, it's gonna be a FUN night!!

ya I remember those guys. I bought a couple of thier albums. Good stuff. Havn't heard anything from them in awhile though, I'm sure they're still entertaining. :thumb:

I wonder if they're opening for him here in Calgary? Might have to check out the show. I've seen Sam 3 or 4 times in the last little bit so I wasn't planning on going, but I wouldn't mind seeing those guys.

I saw them open for The Hip at Darien Lake in 1999/2000 and they were great. There are lots of great boots available foor download through etree if you want to get a better feel for their live show.

I'll be there for the Sam/Guster show in Toronto at Kool Haus on Oct 18! Big Grin

I like the band, though i prefer their Parachute through Goldfly albums, their new one sounds a little too poppy, but it's still good. Hopefully they havent given up on the bongo's for touring Big Grin

I remember Guster for one thing. When I was at Bolton Valley Vermont for a Hip concert in 2000, after Guster went off the stage tons of people left and us hip fans were able to get right to the front. Big Grin

they were @ woodstock too, eh!

Yeah I also went to the Bolton Valley show in VT 2000. I've heard of Guster before the show and wasn't to impressed with them. Soon as I saw them live I totally changed my tune Big Grin They put on one hell of a show. Thier drummer bongo player was absolutly awsome. Also the lead singer before they started the show told the crowd to drink canadian beer instead of the watered down american beer. :lol: Which is so so true. Go Hip! Big Grin

I saw them with the Hip at Nautica in Cleveland. The are a really good live band.

Just got in from the Sam & Guster show at Kool Haus in Toronto, and all I can say is "WOW!!!!"

Both bands totally kicked ass. If you get a chance to see these guys, go. You will not be disappointed.

Sam definitely rocked the house; but it's too bad you missed Guster. Great songs, awesome harmonies, a monkey-armed bongo player, what more could you ask for! :lol:
