(we may be changing our name.. see below - any suggestions?) Once again, we're playing at BANJO JIM'S (9th Street/Ave C, NYC - http://www.banjojims.com) at the well-lit hour of 7pm, followed by Pharaoh's Daughter (http://www.pharaohsdaughter.com/). The Smallz are JONATHAN MARON (bass/vocals), ROBERT DI PIETRO (drums/guitar/vocals) and ME (Nord Electro/vocals): "Keyboardist/singer Greta Gertler?s new band the Smallz (which may be a shortlived name, considering that Edmonton punks the Smalls are something of a legend in the Great White North) was next. Gertler ... is nothing if not imaginative, and this unit ... gives her a chance to be as devious as she can be, which is extremely. Sharing the stage were Groove Collective bassist Jonathan Maron, who plays his instrument like a great lead guitarist, and multi-instrumentalist Rob DiPietro who doubled on drums and guitar, sometimes playing both at once, guitar in hand and foot on his kick pedal. Maron stole the show tonight with several solos ... Shows like this bring back fond memories of the days when there was a pot dealer on every corner of Avenue C, from Houston up to 14th. With this band, there was no need for drugs: they were the drug. Let?s hope they keep this unit together and find a name that sticks."- lucidculture.com http://www.myspace.com/gretagertlermusic http://www.gretagertler.net - ----- End forwarded message ----- ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 May 2008 18:51:39 +0200 From: Cath Subject: Re: Silje Nes Thanks!
