screaming fans
It's been over seven months since Tung N Groove has rocked Medicine Hat. So long, in fact, that many fans have been wondering if the band is still together. Truth is, for a while, we were even wondering ourselves if the band had a future.
The band was dealt some unsettling news in December when our bass player, Kalen decided it was time for him to move on to other endeavors, so he submitted his notice. We will miss him as a member of our little group, and we wish him all the best in his future projects.
Even the recession has affected our band, as we have found it more difficult to obtain public performances. I suppose the timing is good, as it allowed us ample time to recruit Kalen's replacement -- which is another story in itself. Making the long story short, we had retained a replacement, but in a matter of a couple months and nary one rehearsal, the initial replacement stepped down from his position. So at that time, the band was back to square one, and only 5 weeks until our first gig of 2010.
We are happy to say that our good friend Rob has agreed to join us, and he's one talented musician. We hope to be making music with him in the years to come.
So that brings me great pleasure to announce to you the New Tung N Groove lineup, and the first Royal Hotel performance to take place this weekend! There will be two nights of debauchery and your favorite rock tunes from 9:30 until 2:00AM Friday and Saturday Night.
Don't forget the Saturday jam, that begins at 4:00 and concludes at 9:00. If you are a musician, stop by and play a few songs for a chance to win $100!
As with all Royal Hotel gigs, there will be no cover charge.
For those of you who are unaware, the Royal Hotel is located at 110 South Railway Street, in Medicine Hat.
Stop by and say hi to our new bass player, Rob, and bring your friends!
