Hey Q - Have you heard of a band called Sunset Valley? Chris says they're big in Portland, they're from there. Just wondering, hes playing with them in his other band next week.

Queenie:
Ladd's Addition -- a circular neighborhood with annoyingly narrow streets built around several round rose gardens. The baffling street system was designed by some obscenely rich guy at the turn of the century who was apparently on some sort of hallucinogenic drug.

Queenie:
Sure I know those guys.

The drummer from Sunset Valley engineered a record of Ken's years ago. I don't know if he's still playing with Sunset Valley though.

bela:
Ok, just wondering. They're playing Mercury Lounge here on Tuesday.
(Fri Oct 26, 2001 - 12:16:01 pm)

Queenie:
Have Chris mention Ken's name. They'll know who he is.
(Fri Oct 26, 2001 - 12:16:03 pm)

Queenie:
What the hell are they doing all the way over there??
(Fri Oct 26, 2001 - 12:16:20 pm)

bela:
On tour? I don't know.
(Fri Oct 26, 2001 - 12:16:38 pm)

bela:
I may go myself, not sure yet.

Chewing Wax:
Yeh. Why would musicians go to New York City of all places?
(Fri Oct 26, 2001 - 12:19:45 pm)

Queenie:
That's a long way to go.
(Fri Oct 26, 2001 - 12:19:54 pm)

Chewing Wax:
No music scene there either.
(Fri Oct 26, 2001 - 12:20:10 pm)

bela:
Yeah well its fun, thats why.
(Fri Oct 26, 2001 - 12:20:30 pm)

Queenie:
I don' t think they have a label or anything so it's most likely an unfunded tour. That's a long way to travel with your own money is all I'm saying.
(Fri Oct 26, 2001 - 12:20:44 pm)

Chewing Wax:
Maybe they hitchhiked.
(Fri Oct 26, 2001 - 12:21:02 pm)

bela:
I think Chris is mad at me. I most likely won't go.

The drummer from SV used to go out with a girl called Kaitlin who used to play violin in Ken's alt-rock band back in the early to mid-nineties, then Ken played drums in her band in the later nineties. Small town, much musical inbreeding.

bela:
They most likely are going to play in NJ and Boston, Rhode Island before they go back. They may have driven all this way. I know people that do it. Hell, we were all the way to Austin in a van, it really doesn't cost that much. The van cost alot. If you have your own van, its nothing, especially if they get some half decent shows, that will pay for gas.
(Fri Oct 26, 2001 - 12:22:48 pm)

Queenie:
Did I say Kaitlin? I mean Kaitlyn.
(Fri Oct 26, 2001 - 12:24:22 pm)

bela:
We have a guest violin player on our record, she recorded while I took a break. She was really good, and sort of snotty I thought. Her name is Meredith and I found out shes playing violin in this band I want to check out tonight at Tonic called Barbez. www.barbez.com

Queenie:
I asked Ken and apparently two SV guys played in Kaitlyn's band when Ken did. So there ya go, two degrees of seperation between you and me, bela.
(Fri Oct 26, 2001 - 12:25:20 pm)

bela:
Yeah, but I don't know them. If I walked up to them at the show and started talking to them, then that would establish some degree of something maybe.
(Fri Oct 26, 2001 - 12:28:19 pm)

Queenie:
There ya go. You can be all like, "So I know Ken DeRouchie's wife" and you have an instant conversation!
(Fri Oct 26, 2001 - 12:31:03 pm)

bela:
Yeah, but I would most likely make up some story.
(Fri Oct 26, 2001 - 12:32:03 pm)

Queenie:
oh

Cushca:
You could say you slept with her.
(Fri Oct 26, 2001 - 12:33:41 pm)

Chewing Wax:
Now we're talking
(Fri Oct 26, 2001 - 12:34:36 pm)

bela:
Cheeky monkey.
(Fri Oct 26, 2001 - 12:36:21 pm)

bela:
I would never say that about someone I didn't know.
(Fri Oct 26, 2001 - 12:36:41 pm)

Sleepy:
Friday. Allez-oop.
