After Gabe and Lionel of The Remedials attended the stellar VBA show on a Thursday night (and downed a ton of beer) then even later that night when Gabe and Kwin of Denderah (who played a phenomenal set) hung out at The Yale (some of the people in that place are right outta a comicbook!) and had even more beer! If that wasn't enough Scott of Auto Switch and Gabe of The Remedials crashed the Schmusic BC Party again at The Media Club the next night...
After receiving our free drink ticket for any Sleemans product (Honey Brown!) and getting our first free shot of Jager (Gabe of The Remedials drank a total of 10 that night) from one of the three Jagerettes it was off to fill out our scavenger hunt sheet! In a failed attempt to get people to talk to each other, you gotta find people to fill out your sheet. You need to find a manager, a photographer, Music BC board member, guitar player, etc. Once completed you get put in a draw for some prize (which Scott of Auto Switch won) given out at the end of the night. While at the bar we ran into the bass player from Arctic (who have two songs and an interview on "A New Rock Reality" Episode 10) when Gabe goes "Hey, I saw you on TV!" she seemed kinda surprised until she saw Scott of Auto Switch there too. Since she was the only bass player there who could read charts (whatever that is) we were able to get her to sign our sheet. Score! After a few more shots of Jager we ran into Michelle Will who we met at Tom Lee at a Music BC panel discussion, she mentioned she was off to T.O. and wanted the name of the tattoo shop (Reactive Ink) Gabe's kid bro works at since she wanted to get inked while there (Gabe tried to convince her to get a Remedials "numbskull" tattoo like his bro got in his armpit, he's now our number one fan!) attending the CMW thing. Also there was Pomy of LTG (who played a rad set the night before at The Buffalo Club) who we hung out with most of the night. Gabe chatted with some of the members of Sugarblade (who were at The Remedials Asbalt show), Cecilia Rose (an up and coming folk singer, thanks for the CD!) and of course the Jagerettes! After more shots of Jager we hung out with Dunner and Lana from CFOX (Lana scored a Remedials CD) thanks to Lana who tried helping Gabe, Scott and Pomy answer the trivia questions but since they were already loaded they just screamed out the answers as well as "Gowan!" the whole time! During trivia we ran into Cory of Skookum (the guy did the new VBA logo) and had a few more beers and shots. Gabe of The Remedials was supposed to go to Trail vs. Russia and Golden Phoenix at The Lamplighter later that night but was way too wasted but somehow managed to wake up at home, he still regrets not making it to that show.
The next day Gabe of The Remedials was off to The Legion in Lionel of The Remedials hood to play darts with Wayne of The Remedials and Shannon (Happy B-Day!) Having both been duped into signing up for darts Gabe and Lionel played (if you can call it that) and started drinking from 12:30pm all the way to 7:00pm while playing darts. Gabe's team won a prize for being the worst team at the tournament! Booyah! After the tournament was over it was time for karaoke! Shannon sang Tiffany's "I Think We're Alone Now" and The Divinyls "I Touch Myself" again. Gabe of The Remedials jumped on stage for The Ramones "I Wanna Be Sedated" and after drinking all day he was!
After the "A New Rock Reality" screening at Lionel's pad the next Saturday it was off to The Legion again for more karaoke (with all the karaoke The Remedials have been doing lately they may actually learn to sing) this time with Jerry of the POGs! Wayne and Gabe of The Remedials jumped on stage for Twisted Sister's "Were Not Gonna Take It" while Lionel of The Remedials moshed in the pit! Jerry of the POGs totally wanted to sing The Remedials "Superstitious" and after grabbing his Remedials CD (he never leaves home without it!) convinced the DJ to throw it down! So on stage Gabe, Wayne and Jerry did Remedial karaoke to a Remedials song (Gabe still looked to the teleprompt for the lyrics) to The Legion crowd! Even more amazing was when finished the lady DJ was like "That's an original song? That was really good!" After some train hoppin' Jerry of the POGs made it home safe and sound and The Remedials staggered home as well. Look forward to the POGs going into the studio to record a new CD in May! Since they're gonna record at The Hive, The Remedials want em' to re-record the vocals of The Remedials "Superstitious" with the POGs singing! If you been to any of our shows you'll know they've done a way better job singin' that tune then The Remedials do!
