Hi :D We are The Rails, a four person band from Toronto, who play original indie rock music on electronic instruments. We have a show today at 2 pm. If you’d like to check it out, it will be held here. Thanks!

All four Rails, each with our own mic, will be in the SL today to give our usual Thursday show! Hope you can come. The location is here.
Rockin’ bass player, Jill Garnet, can also play the cello in real life, so when she saw this instrument in SL, she just couldn’t resist sitting down and giving the bow a stroke!

The RAILS Band Gig Diary - Entry #21-2010 Show Date: April 18, 2010. Venue: Blacklist
Some new friends invited us to play a show at their club, called Blacklist, located at Cataclysm Sim. Chops and Jill couldn’t make it, but with a description as follows, “Punkers and Nekos and Rockers and .. OH MY!! A grungy lil’ town served up hot with a side of tasty humour”, how could Jeremy and I refuse?!
It sounded like such a good time, which, in deed, it turned out to be, with a room full of interesting and fun people. A big thanks to Alysa Paravane, for inviting us, and to the other people involved in making it happen, Jo Soosung, Shye Kidd and Lisa Lianfair … and to everyone who came!
Jo had set a beautiful train outside the club for the week before the show, where Alysa rezzed some pose balls and shared her creative talent by taking and treating these two pictures above.
Here’s one that I took.
The RAILS Band Gig Diary - Entry #20-2010 Show Date: April 15, 2010. Venue: The Rails Nightclub
For this show, it was only me and the boys, as Jilly Bean had to be elsewhere in real life. We missed her, but I didn’t feel out numbered as there were plenty of females in the audience. Jeremy says that it’s good that our music appeals to women, because the boys will go where the girls are! 
After the show, I decided to hang out with Jer & Chops, who needed to go see a mechanic about a rattle on his bike.
Nice shop!
The repair job wasn’t going to take long, so we waited at the garage.
Then we got hungry, so Chops made bbq!
After dinner, with vehicles on his mind, Jeremy decided to bust out his new remote control car.
All in all, a good time hanging with the guys!
Hello! The whole band will be in SL today for a show. To change things up, and to fete the location of a fine friend, Krakov Letov, today’s show will be at The Notes Shack Pub, where they are celebrating their second year anniversary. Hope you can come! The location is here

The RAILS Band Gig Diary - Entry #19-2010 Show Date: April 8, 2010. Venue: The Rails Nightclub
This show went well with plenty of new friends coming, and many of the beloved ones we already know. Thanks for coming!
You wouldn’t believe what happened to us after the gig though! Man, we were taking a little sunset cruise, when we hit a rock and the boat began to take on water.
We swam to the shore, where it was very dark, so we curled up on the beach and went to sleep. In the morning we discovered that the island seemed to be deserted. We searched around and found some good stuff that had washed up on the shore.
Among the things we found were a fishing rod that still worked and an old lobster trap. Lucky for that, as we were getting hungry!
There actually ended up being plenty to eat and drink on the island, so we began to have a pretty good time.
Four coconuts!
But, of course, we had to find a way off the island, so over a few days, Jeremy and Chops built a raft.
We were sad to leave but looking forward to changing our clothes. It was remarkable how they still looked pretty good though.
We made it home safely, and lived to tell the tale!
Thanks for reading it. Please continue under the fold for credits!
Hi! Today is Thursday, which means the whole band will be in Second Life for a show. Please consider coming out and having a listen. The show will be at The Rails Club, located -> here.
This will be a double bill, as we have Italian guitar player and singer, EddieGuitar Dagger, hitting the stage before us, so come early to catch all the action!
