I wonder when we could expect such a release?

Anyone know?

Well, says it's being mixed so unless they're putting it on the shelf, I assume it probably should be out by the end of summer.

Says Paul and Sinclair are performing on it, I wonder if they SING SOLO! That would be COOL! No offense to Johnny, I'm just assuming Johnny doesn't sing.

I am looking forward to the release of that CD. It should be interesting. I hope there might be a few more live shows announced later. Thanks for the latest update on Robbie's project.

[LoftyPines]

Very cool! Hopefully they'll play a show in the London area!
Looking forward to getting that album!

Me too. I was always a fan of the Odds, specifically Craig Northey's songwriting. And of course we all love Robby's guitar playing. This should be an interesting album.

great, i'm just down the street, and i'll be there.

thin any other members of the HIP will be in attendance to see Robbie kick it off?

[mark]

is no one else kinda surprised at the union he is playing for?

[mmilberg]

That's the name of his band.

Obviously the point of a band's name is to attract attention, which I think Stripper's Local does..

[thedoog]

beauty.. a robbie show right around the corner from my house....

matthew barber's new material is pretty good too... should be a great night....

[kcpr3]

Interestingly enough, Kingston Local 518 is the Kingston Musicians' Union, of which Mr. Baker is a member of.. His contact number is for Jake Gold...

Album cover. wOOt.

[Littleproud]

This could possibly be my new favorite band.
Has anyone ever seen Sharkskin? It was Pat, Craig, Doug and Simon playing Meters-esque material. Think Booker T and The MG's meets Medeski Martin and Wood. Just awesome.
