The Remedials Don’t Do Karaoke

The Remedials Don't Do Karaoke

Wayne of The Remedials and Shannon decided to have a few drinks and play darts with the old folks at The Legion in their hood in what would seem like an uneventful night...

Little did the two know that karaoke was going on and always wanting to be on stage Wayne and Shannon decide to give it a go! Having already downed a couple pitchers of beer and a couple of shooters Wayne goes on stage to do Hank Williams "Jumbalaya" since his voice was still thrashed as was Gabe of The Remedials after doing two shows in two nights! Wayne powered thru it all harsh voiced and raspy and once finished over heard one guys say "Man, that had to hurt!" while in the smoking room. A few shots of Jack Daniels and Scotch for Wayne and a Tequila Paralizer for Shannon, Wayne goes up for round two in which he requests "Good Old Boys" thinking it was the Duke of Hazzard song, realizing his mistake that it wasn't the song he wanted Wayne tells the DJ to kill it and exits stage left. Not to be out done while Shannon's up for Blondie's "Call Me" since she doesn't do French she had to mumble thru that part of the tune. After another pitcher of beer and a few shots of Fireball (Gabe of The Remedials hates Fireball) when the DJ threw down some David Allen Coe, Wayne of The Remedials had to jump on stage and join in on the action! Wayne and Shannon decide on the last two songs they'll do for the night and give Gabe of The Remedials a call to let em' know what they were. Wayne says "Hey we're loaded at The Legion doing karaoke and Shannon's gonna sing The Divinyls "I Touch Myself" and I'm gonna do Dead Kennedys "Too Drunk To Fuck!" to which Gabe goes "No way, they have a Dead Kennedys song for karaoke! You gotta phone me when you go on and let me listen to that!" Wayne responds with "I'm gonna do another four shots of Scotch before I go on and call ya back!" After about ten minutes Gabe gets a call from Wayne that Shannon got a free drink (not that they really needed anymore to drink) for her stellar performance of the song! But when Wayne went up, after just singing the first chorus of the song the waitress started to freak out and got the DJ to kill the song, as well he forgot to phone Gabe back. While still at The Legion and after copious amount of alcohol Wayne staggers to the washroom and pukes filling the bowl twice! Shannon was able to wait till they got home though! All together an alright night for those crazy kids! Since it's Shannon's B-Day this weekend The Remedials are gonna get wasted!

The VBA had an amazing show on Thursday at The Buffalo Club! The Remedials have never seen that place so packed and this was the best show we've seen so far! I guess those media mail outs really do work and even Chad from Nickelback showed up support the local bands that played! Great job by The Ingredients (Stop calling me...we can't get that song outta our heads!), LTG (Pomy smashing the guitar was rad!) and Denderah (in which the POGs and The Remedials jumped into the pit!) which totally impressed the crowd! Gabe of The Remedials was asked to film the band State Of Shock and after left with the camera with Kwin of Denderah and his bros to the Yale, which they both surprising kinda stayed outta trouble. There's sure to be some interesting footage on that camera. So another rad night for both Gabe and Lionel of The Remedials! Thanks to Sean from SPM Music for the free beer tickets and a free ticket to any SPM Music show next month!
