The last TNG Gig of 2010 will be at the Royal Hotel this weekend!
This is also, sadly, MARK'S LAST GIG WITH THE BAND. We would love it if as many of you could make it out and send him your best wishes. We will miss Mark greatly, as his efforts and contributions to the groups success has been immense. We wish him the best in his future endeavors.
"The Final Curtain Tour" begins at 9:30PM until 2:00AM on both Friday and Saturday nights. Don't forget about the Saturday afternoon jam, where some lucky jammer is going to win a cash prize!
One other "fun fact", is that Mike is crippled; might be fun to see how he's gonna bat those drums?
Help us spread the word, and let everyone know about the show; we want Mark's send-off to be bigger than anything we've ever done.
Although this is the end of one chapter, it's not the end of the book. We will be back in 2011 with a new lineup and new material. Stay posted!

Yes, the rumors are true. As of November 7, 2010, Tung N Groove will officially dissolve. Founding member Mark has moved to Calgary to pursue new endeavors. As a result, the group has decided to dissolve the band name Tung N Groove in his honor.
Mark's last performance with the band will take place at the Royal Hotel November 6 and 7.
The news isn't all bad though -- the remaining members are still committed to our fans, and we will be back in 2011 with a new lineup, exciting new material, and a new name.
We will greatly miss Mark and his contributions to the band, and the local music scene. He is -- in a word: irreplaceable.

Tung N Groove returns to the Hylton as part of their 2010 Reunion Tour! You can expect cheap swill, loud music, and tons of fans packing the dance floor.
Showtimes are at 9:30 both Friday and Saturday nights. You might want to get there early, as there is no cover charge, and seating is limited!
The band asks you to help spread the word, and tell everyone you know attend. And of course, we thank you for your continued support.

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!
