HIP playing fundraiser here in Kingston(Pics Added) - tina - 08-16-2006

It would seem, this little party is gonna be just a rockin tomorrow night..
Rumoured to be there, HIP, Sam Roberts, Chris Koster and the ever amazing James McKenty and the Spades... Tickets are $25 each, it's a fundraiser for a girl who recently was diagnosed with Cancer and the staff at her work, Woodenheads, is organizing this little hoot for her....
Elixer is a tiny bar on Garrett Street..
See some of ya there...

I was just going to say that I don't know if the Elixir can hold those bands and all their gear.

There was a tribute to the Hip there last summer and it was a tight squeeze. If anyone's planning on going, I highly suggest talking to the people running it to ensure you get in. Wouldn't want you to make the trip, only to be turned away at the door because they're at capacity.

anyone go to this event??

- Dr. J - 08-18-2006

I did. Great night.
As one who saw The Hip in their Kingston club days, seeing Gord S. and Paul up there rockin' the Elixir with The Spades was a memory jolt of the best kind. Along the way they played 3 songs written by Gord. Two were sung by James McKenty and one was sung by Paul. Paul also sang another song. I don't know if it was an original or not (and yes folks....he did kick ass). They were also joined at one point by Dan Ackroyd for a couple tunes.

Chris Koster opened the evening and Matt Mays & El Torpedo and Sam Roberts also delivered dynamite sets. The encore for the evening was a rousing rendition of Neil Young's Powderfinger with the Spades and Gord and Paul being joined on stage by Matt and Sam. That was after 2 in the morning and I couldn't help be amazed at the tremendous show all these guys had delivered and not one of them was being paid a cent. It was a fundraiser organized by Billy Ray (the Hip's road manager) and the folks at WoodenHeads where the young lady works.

Everyone including the packed house deserve a lot of praise for a job well done. It was totally soldout and was the most sought after ticket in Kingston for days. Billy Ray joked that it was easier to put Matt Mays on the bill than it was to try and get them tickets to get in.

Two of the songs that Paul played on were written by him.

Two questions for ya MAV. Have these songs been considered for the new WC album? AND, was there a soundboard recording of this performance?

- chris - 08-19-2006

Soundboard or not, we still need to hear them!

I have no idea. I think the songs are all pretty old in the scheme of things and have nothing to do with any album or anything in particular. Songs from Gord S., the Spades, a cover - something like 21 ton locamotive - were also played. Paul and Gord were playing with the Spades at the time.

It was a great night of music in Kingston for a great cause!
