Elkford

The Lamplighter Pub July 26th, 2000

Ian ,(the part owner of the pub), had come to Fernie to see our show last Thursday. He enjoyed and off to Elkford we went. We had spent time polling people at our shows along the way, "so what can you tell us about Elkford?" The general response was not usually dialog, but more of a deep groan. Kinda sounded like a dead or dying moose. Naturally we became doubtful of our Wednesday night gig, creeping up on us like a blind date or something. Turns out that we had an awesome time! This crowd knows how to enjoy live entertainment. You see, some of these towns don't know when to applaud. It's like they need some kind of crash course in audience etiquette. We sold like $200.00 worth of cd's, our best sales night to date. It was crazy!! All 3 of us making sales and signing discs. Like I said, "awesome"! They couldn't get enough. the bar was supposed to be closed at 1 am, but we were cheered into playing until, like, 2. Ian treated us like old friends. He says that if we come back in December, he's gonna rent us all snowmobiles and take us out on them for a day. Nice! the bar was small, but clean and modernish looking. Ian talked us into doing the show semi-acoustic. Probably a good call. I don't think the place could have handled the electric noise. Loud, you know? (see Waterton) Just after soundcheck, Jai was approached by two ladies From Victoria (Laura and Sharon) they had come into town for the night on their way to Calgary. the recognized our name on the bar's marquee (even tho it was spelt rong). They decided to stay up late and check out the show. They've only heard the stuff from Rocktoria, so it was cool to introduce them to the rest of the stuff, especially in a bar that seemed to be really in to what we were doing. I'm not sure what else to say. thanks, Elkford! we had an unforgettable time! see you in Dec. Ian, thanks for breakfast! Hey, why the hell was the only music store in town closed on the day that we were there? Hey, Tim Motorhead, baby! Motorhead!
