Details for Canada Day

If you're coming to see The Neurotics play on Canada Day (this Monday, July 1), note that we'll be:

1. In the courtyard in front of the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, near Georgia and Hamilton streets in downtown Vancouver, in the mid-morning for the Post-to-Post 10K run.


2. On the Canada Safeway Plaza Stage at Canada Place at 2:45 in the afternoon, for about 45 minutes.


3. At the Cadillac Fairview Cordova Street Stage at 7:45 in the evening, for an hour or so.

Spin's list of the 50 greatest rock bands of all time is pretty good.

The Who are at number 39, and their stupendous (and often chubby) bass player John Entwistle just died suddenly. Number 2 on the list are the Ramones, and their insane (and frighteningly thin) bass player Dee Dee Ramone died earlier this month.

The Neurotics are nowhere on the list, so come see us at one of our three shows on Monday. We promise our bassist, Lumpy, will still be alive.

Oh my. June 25 was quite a day in rock history:

• It's Eddie "Knock on Wood" Floyd's, Carly "You're So Vain" Simon's, Tim "Six Months in a Leaky Boat" Finn's, and George "Wham! Rap" Michael's birthday.


• It was the day the Beatles recorded "All You Need Is Love" in 1967.


• Two years later, Mick Taylor first appeared playing guitar for the Rolling Stones.


• The Muppet Show album hit #1 in the U.K.


• Prince released Purple Rain.

 We've added some more shows to our calendar. We're tentatively scheduled to play at the English Bay Beach HQ for all four fireworks shows in the Vancouver Celebration of Light, July 31 and August 3, 7, and 10. Joining us on some of those days will be Doink Neurotic on bass and Bumpy Neurotic on guitar and keyboards, since Lumpy and Woody are otherwise occupied for at least one show each. They're busy guys.

We're also booked for Father's Day 2003 for the Urban Garage Drive for Alzheimer's event again. And of course we still have our three public shows on Canada Day next week. Come check us out.

 Breaking news! Neurotics rock the summer!

This is turning out to be a busy season. In addition to the Urban Garage Drive for Alzheimer's benefit and car show we're playing around lunchtime on Father's Day, Sunday, June 16, we now have three new shows on Canada Day, Monday, July 1:

• The Post-to-Post 10K Run finish line in the morning, at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in downtown Vancouver (here are some details from the 2001 event last year, and we have some photos from back then too).
• Two shows at Canada Day at Canada Place, one in the early afternoon, one early evening. See the Canada Day schedule for updates.

 We've updated our calendar page -- we now have shows in June, July, August, September, and December confirmed. Alas, only one of them is public -- and that's the nearest one, which is the Urban Garage Drive for Alzheimer's from 11:00 am till 1:00 pm on Father's Day, June 16.

In the meantime, you can catch Woody Neurotic (a.k.a. Adam Woodall) with his band at the Crab Shack in Whistler on Sunday, June 9, and at the Arts Club Backstage Lounge on Granville Island in vancouver on June 15 and 19. He also appears solo at Joe Fortes restaurant in downtown Vancouver every Saturday and Sunday from noon till 3:00.

Lumpy Neurotic also has a few shows, but he won't tell us when or where. Dirty and Sticky are skipping town for awhile until the heat is off from that little incident with the black-market sturgeon roe.
