It took me exactly one week to fully recover from my Doc Walker experience. I can't tell you what a good time it was. Occasionally (just occasionally) there are perks to this job, and one of them was definitely getting to spend time with Canada's best group on wheels (of all genres). If you missed the show here and can attend another date somewhere else, DO. You won't regret it. I've never been so let down to see the back of a tour bus...and that's saying something.
But, mine is a fickle career and I don't get time to lament on artists past...on to the next show. I'm going to take a moment to tell you about The Lost Fingers. Never heard of them? Clearly, you are not from Quebec, where their audience has made their album 'Lost in the 80's' a Platinum+seller. Yes folks, in a day when everyone steals music, this band has moved more than 100,000 albums. Not to mention a 'people's choice' nod at a little rock party we like to call the Juno's this year.
Who are they? Three guys from Quebec who were inspired by a gypsy-jazz guitarist named Django Reinhardt to create their own unique sound and style. Musically, they are best known for their brand of 'gypsy manouche'...and on their 'Lost in...' album they breathed life into some 80's favorites that maybe should've otherwise been left for dead.
'Pump Up the Jam' has never been this good.
When? Here's the fun part. Halloween. What better day to don your finest in 80's garb and hit the trail to the Classic Theatre to see what all the buzz is about. The show time has been moved back to 9:00 pm to ensure that all the little ghosts and goblins have already passed out from their sugar buzz.

If you need me, I'll be listening to my ipod...Mitsou, OMG!
