Unicity Performing Arts Festival
Salisbury, MD

Beautiful day. outdoor gig.  We played on a huge flatbed truck.  Nice sound.  We met Steve Oppel who took some great pix and video.  THe highlight of the trip was when we convinced the Wizard to ride in the Salt and Pepper ride.  The operator thought he was Jerry Garcia, and the Wizard didn’t like the fact that he was entering a ride put together the day before by a man who thought he was a guy who died 15 years ago.  He got tossed around pretty good and we all had a good laugh.

Midpoint Music Festival
Neon’s – Cincinnatti, Ohio

w/ Jared Mahone, Glinda’s Bubble, The Newbees and Ruetschle. By the time we made it through PA, WV and into Ohio, the ‘Zard had pissed off around a dozen or so people. Crazy Mary would like to apologize to the couple at Haag’s in Shartlesville, and to Matt at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburg, and to the waiter at Shanghai Mama’s in Cincinnati for the ‘Zard’s various faux pas’. ARMAND COMMENTS: What gall! This from a guy (Nick) who walked the streets shouting, ‘Cin-cin-f***king-atti!’ at the top of his lungs. Talk about embarrassing….

09-17-2005
CMJ Showcase
Bowery Poetry Club

w/ Bril, Nicole Paradiso and Contramano. Nick was really pleased with our performance. The Wizard didn’t piss anyone off. We played a new song, NUCLEAR LIPSTICK, which people seemed to like. Didn’t get home until 4:00AM because we stayed for this great band, Contramano, in self-imposed exile from Argentina. As part of the CMJ festivities, Nick got to see the Dandy Warhols at CBGB’s, and, earlier, the Rainbow Quartz showcase. Here’s what we played: INVISIBLE, TELL ME NOW, I’M THIRSTY FOR COOL, VASELINE AND AFROSHEEN, THE RAIN IN MEMPHIS, NUCLEAR LIPSTICK, SHE COMES IN WAVES, MONKEY MAGIC MEDICINE, SHOCK ME, and BURNED.

07-28-2005
