The Rails Band show today @ Thurs 2 pm slt

Hi :D   Four Rails will be in-world for a show at The Notes Shack Pub today at 2 pm slt!

Here’s a photo of the owner of the pub, Krakov Letov.  If pictures could speak, you’d hear him say “hi everybody .. come on out to parrrty”.

And Kraks does like to party! Events at his venue are always a lot of fun.

Today , there is lots going on at The Shack, as performing before us will be the talented Demolicious Wonder!  (click the link for a sample Demolicious) And right after our set, (at around 3:15) we will be having a video-release reception in the Notes Shack Gallery, where we will debut a real-life documentary style video of our song ‘Sound Checking’, which features plenty of footage of our our involvement in Second Life.

Here’s a poster that Krakov made …

Please consider coming.  The good times will take place here

The Rails Show Today @ Thursday 2 pm slt

Today is the day for a Rails show in-world!  You will get 3/4 of the band, plus a machine!  Mr. Oberheim, our ancient drum machine ( check it out ) will fill-in for live drummer, Chops Baxton, as Chopsy can’t make it to SL today.  The show will be held at our home station located -> here

Photo taken outside the shop called ‘Jill’, which is closing down today :(    This was a favourite store, with quality clothing creations made by Jill Lemon. (I’m wearing some pants she made!)  Pictured is a tribute made to Jill by her friend 82bee Zepp.

For me, the sign has a double meaning, as it honours Jill Lemon, to whom everyone is thankful for her generosity and long-term contribution to Second Life.  And it also allows me to give thanks to our bass player and friend, Jill Garnet, for the impressive and appreciated dedication she has shown to The Rails, since joining the band a year ago <3

The RAILS Band Gig Diary – Entry #28-2010 Show Date: Jun 3, 2010.  Venue: The Rails Club

Hi :D   This show was a great one, made extra special by the introduction to the band of Azrai Barzane!  She is the new fiancee of our good friend, Caliente Lemon, who is always a fun guy to have in the room!

Congratulations to Azrai and Cal …  May you enjoy a long and happy second life together!

And with a wedding coming up, new duds were in order so we went shopping.  Couldn’t keep the guys interested for very long though, so we cut the shopping short and went for a beer instead.  The quest for a new dress to-be-continued!

The Rails show today @ Sunday 1pm slt

Hi :) Today Jeremy and I will be doing a show at Demo’s Wonderland, the home-stage of Demolicious Wonder! Here is the listing she wrote for our set …”Canadian indie rock band, The Rails, brings the fun to Demo’s Wonderland this afternoon.   The Rails play catchy, danceable music fueled with punk rock energy. You won’t want to miss it!”

The show will be located here

Demolicious will be performing before us, so come early to catch her performance at 12:15 slt, where she will be … “Combining the catchy riffs of pop, the drum machine beats of electro and the heavy synth sounds of New Wave, Demolicious Wonder makes danceable tunes with an edge.”

Here’s a sample of her music … Demolicious

And here’s her blog

Sounds like fun, right?
