Cafe Du Nord Thanks
posted on December 16, 2002
Thanks Jesse, for organizing one of the most memorable shows last Saturday. The Cafe du Nord show was one of those rare nights filled with excellent performances by all the bands (the clarendon hills, from monument to masses, ee, whysall lane), positive vibes from a great crowd, Jim the bar manager and an awesome job by Kim, the soundperson from Cafe Du Nord. The Skyflakes are proud to have been a participant of such a great show. A big thanks also to Cindy Kahl (Du Nord owner/booking person).
In other news, the Skyflakes will be rehearsing/recording some new songs for a release later this year. Stay tuned for some show updates in January, where we might try some new songs. Thanks, and Happy Holidays.
Split 7" with the Clarendon Hills
posted on November 18, 2002
They're here! Stay tuned for the record release info: the split 7" we've been waiting for has finally arrived. Most likely, the release party will be the Cafe du Nord show, December 14th.
In other news, Skyflake's guitarist Ron got a new job and already hates the "company". Tricia is fighting a bad cold while working full time and going to school at nights. Ollie is currently working on his short film. Jericho is loving his Theater Rice afterparties, and Jesse is taking care of business while rocking with Charmin and hanging out with new nephew Milo. One day we'll find the time to rehearse again...in the meantime, join us for the crappy thanksgiving show at bindlestiff this friday (details on the shows page).
we also have new stickers and buttons !!!
Next Show
posted on October 27, 2002
Hey kids! Our next show is Nov. 2nd at the Bear's Lair (UC Berkeley campus pub) with the Librarians. Unfortunately it will be a 21+ show (new rules for this venue).
Speaking of Berkeley, on our way home from the midnight showing of the Shining on Saturday, we were pleasantly surprised to hear Kendra from KALX (and punk band Knulla Roofs) playing Meathead on the air. Kendra, you rock! Catch her radio show on Saturdays (ok, technically Sunday morning) from 12-3 am on KALX. Finally, the new discography page is up and also some new pics courtesy of WOAK Studios.
Thanks!
