It was tight ...
Following REAL GONE's July 9 gig at Ben Wick's on Parliament St. in Toronto. Lady Sarah attempts to squeeze her bass into one of the incredible vintage cars which came to the event! The 1929 Model T Ford Hot Rod belongs to Loren Green, also seen in the photo (and yes, that IS how you spell his name!)


More photos of vintage cars, rockabilly guys and girls and of course, REAL GONE, are linked to the photo!

REAL GONE stag

REAL GONE performed at the Cadillac Lounge, April 8th...
Kevin (the guitarist) was well lubricated and in fine rockn'roll form. He was celebrating his upcoming nuptials- and left after the gig to continue his all day (and nite) "stag" party. The beautiful bride to be, Erika, was at the show wearing her "Running of the Stag(gette)" chapeau, decorated by Linda for the occasion.
Kevin and Erika marry in 2 weeks in Houston, Texas. Wish we could all go...


Erika inspects the goods (Kevin, that is)


and appears to like what she sees!

Of Gorillas and Buddha Butts...

Smilin' Buddha Bar, Toronto, Sat.,Jan. 7, 2006

REAL GONE helped celebrate Frogger's 30th birthday at the "Smilin' Buddha"!

Frogger and John
Here he is with his buddy John, of John and Jenny's, who organized the event! No Buddha Bellies from John this time (see earlier blog) , though a "Buddha Butt" made a surprise appearance, startling Lady Sarah! I now understand why... check out this photo, taken from the vantage of the stage- No
BUTTS about it , or rather, too much and too many!


Michael, REAL GONE's drummer, was also celebrating his birthday, two days earlier! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MICHAEL!!


Thanks to special guest Alistair Christl. He'll also be opening for REAL GONE at the upcoming Kitchener gig.

Pete Gorilla stood in for REAL GONE's guitarist Kevin Mahon, who was out of town. Pete's an amazing guitar player and a great rockabilly singer. He's originally from Hungary and plays with GORILLA.
