the new raq cd is decent...pretty keyboard drivin
-
Little piggy them and check them out before buying. Haven\'t heard either, so can\'t help ya.
-
So what is the verdict on Raq\'s new album, Ton These?
I\'m thinking about purchasing it via Amazon (through .info of course, Dave). Also, Amazon is offering a package of the new Raq and Umphrey\'s cds for $27.99.
What is the vibe?
Are either (or both) worth buying?

im diggin on the album
listened to it about 20 times or so.
kinda poppy/cheesy,but for what it is,its ser

donkey show=old school scortino kick ass song
word on the raq board was that it could have been worst show ever and end of the world is also called 15 steps or something. might be an original, not MMW
-
BFAM <<<----- what \'s this tune all about? us? ;)
Raq BFAM= Brother From Another Mother. (I know, I see the wink but I\' figured I\'d splain anyway)
so did anyone buy the album?? what\'s the general consensus?
Bought the album, still in the plastic. They opened with CIty Funk which is on this new album (they also played it last time) which kind of reminds me of Black Crowes meets Hoist era Phish. I like.
they have a tune called end of the world party our did they play the mmw song? kinda wierd either way.
MMW. Don\'t think they played the whole thing, not sure though. They do, FYI have a song called Donkey Show. To which I say about damn time someone used that for song title.
-
I heard rumors of Katonah cancelled and I went (I would have gone either way) hoping to see a Timmy/Adrian sit in. No go. I saw Jordan in the crowd, and figured surely, he would step on stage. He did not.
Yeah, I talked with Jordan yesterday afternoon and he said that he probably would not be sitting in. Glad I chose to be a good boy and stay home!!

I heard rumors of Katonah cancelled and I went (I would have gone either way) hoping to see a Timmy/Adrian sit in. No go. I saw Jordan in the crowd, and figured surely, he would step on stage. He did not. Instead I got a lengthy sit in from some guy on an accordian. When he came on, I witnessed the largest smoke break exodus I\'ve ever seen. It was better than I thought, but I was still an accordian when I was hoping for Braqfast. Dissappointing indeed. I still like RAQ alot, and I\'m starting to get familiar with their original material, which I think is pretty well written.
scortino played accordian, not keys? bummer.

confirmed?

alrighty.........who is going tonight?
I am hearing that timmys solo gig in katonah was cancelled........
I was gonna take it ease tonight, but it looks like i will definitely be hittin the elm city up once again......

i am more amped for this than any upcoming show, save maybe clapton and FFVIII
-
wish I could make it. I was gonna be able to go until they moved it up a week.
-
see you SERheads in about 12 hours! getting **** WASTED for RAQ!
Ton These is nasty!
-
Yes I have already promised my full support to Tim for the shows in L.A. and S.D.
It is still 2 of my favorite musicians in the whole world and Ron who is phenomenal w/ them so it\'s not like I hate the music it just does not move me as it used to.
As I wrote Tim maybe seeing them in person will recapture some of the feeling I had with the quartet.
Either way thanx for the support Spacey.
-
^Ser **** talker. timmy is ownin\' the keys lately.
Oh please! I was fuckin\' around about the keys as everyone knows how I feel about the instrument.
BUT if you want to start on about Tim owning keys I have to say you must be drunk!
Tim is decent @ best playing keyboards in the band. He may play well enough to add color and nuance to some songs but please I know 14 year old kids that can do that!
He is multi-talented I give you that but come on. Owning?
How many times have you seen the trio/tim play keys now? just wondering.
I have only seen the Daniels St. dvd in which Tim most def. did not own the keys.
I have heard the night before in Philly(no ownage) and the last Mill St. in August(no ownage).
I\'m sure that Leith will be attending at least one of these shows this tour and will be able to make a judgement based on being there and if he still doesn\'t like it, will everyone lay off the surfer.
-
Tim got an advanced copy of Ton These at Wormtown......It\'s basically the Todd Stoops album. Personally i didn\'t hate it....it was kind of sophmoric, but still very listenable and danceable....
I would be willing to pass out shows after the flyer......

bernie worell can also tear your face off...
also the new RAQ album is one of my favorite albums or the year up there with AWWTM, and i cna\'t **** wait for thursday!
-
Has anyone heard some of the tracks on this album?
The 3 I have heard are ripping!!
Oh and they have a kickass keyboard player so I dig the **** out of that! ;)
are you kidding me? i heard the whole album and it was all cliche jamband spew to me. there might have been 1 jam on the entire album that was good in my books. the rest was textbook raq weak ass jamming, w/ some lame lyrics thrown in. michetti barely gets any chance to shine on the album is 100% Stoops led. keys may be fun, but they ain\'t gonna tear your face off.
Keys ain\'t gonna tear your face off?
Well maybe not in RAQ but if you think that you have obviously never seen a really good keyboard player.
I suggest you go see Chick Corea live.
Take a listen to some Reconstruction and you will hear a young Merl Saunders giving Jerry and your mind a run for their $$$$.
Keys CAN tear your face off!
Back to the thread though, I think the tracks I have heard are great you don\'t big deal.

Stops is from Stratford or Stamford one of the 2.
-
just trying to give him some last string of hope
-
Tim\'s shows are always updated pretty accurately on .net. And no chance Tim could sitin, drive to NY, load in ALONE, setup and start even near on time.
-
^^I think he has family in the area so I guess it could be a possibility
-
no RAQ won\'t be on until later, prolly same start time about, wouldnt surprise me if RAQ came on at 11
isnt stoops from around the area though?
-
^^dude, those guys will show up in town @ 6pm day of show I\'d say highly doubtful
edit: Just called Katonah Bar and Grill and Tim is playing there this Thurs. Not until 10:30 though. What time does RAQ go on? there\'s always the possibility he could sit in, and then hustle over to NY, but it sounds like it would be pretty tight.
-
i hope its wrong.... also i was noticing that there\'s a timmy tour night before, maybe a hot machetti sit in?
-
No offense, but I\'d rather see RAQ\'s CD Release Party than go back to the KBnG again... I like TPalms & the music, but not the crowd... I\'m in for RAQ (as long as I make it to work the next day! ;) )
-
^^he\'s listed at Katonah Bar and Grill on jambase, not sure how accurate that is
-
well the week has arrived! i dont see any timmy show on the calender or on his myspace... is it still happening or can i look forward to him @ toads!?

-
Forgot about the Katonah DUZ :banghead:
-
no timmy! ****

Just saw on Jambase that Tim has a solo show in Katonah this night so no Timmy sit in. But like Todd said I bet Adrian will play guitar this time. I know he wanted to last time, he just couldn\'t get up.

the Ryan Montbleau Band is opening for RAQ. please check out their set. i love these guys so much :banllama:
-
it should be a great time and we even get a night off before panic
-
I would def. not rule out a Tim/ Adrian/ Jordan sit in again. Adrian will probably trade out percussion with Chris this time to play guitar. Chris wanted to last time, but Adrian couldn\'t stand.
-
I like RAQ well enough, but I go for the sit ins. If you have not yet caught one these, they are must see.
-
i also love him playing with them, timmy + chris = musical bliss
-
I\'d say there\'s a definate possibility, but no I cannot confirm or deny anything, I know he loves playing with them so.......
-
can anyone confirm or deny Timmy showing up again? he should make it 3 in a row
-
the new album is the hotness, it was on PT
-
Yeah, where is a new Breakfast tune from ME and announcement of their fall tour??? :sigh: Relix SUCKS!!!
But, congrats to Raq!!! This is great publicity for them!!

Body: Be sure to pick up a copy of the current (Sept/Oct) issue of RELIX Magazine (you can find RELIX at most bookstores) as "Bootch Magoo" from "Ton These" is Track 4 on the included CD Sampler! The CD has 12 Tracks and RAQ is in good company as this CD also features new music from Medeski Scofield Martin & Wood, Ray LaMontagne, The Duhks & Government Mule.

Even though most of you are referring to someone else, as of Saturday I\'ll be officially off summer hiatus, so I\'ll most likely be working that night. A Freakout promo team of 4-5 people can be well taken care of.
Anyone else is on their own ;)
I\'ve been so bogged down at work lately that I haven\'t been able to really get things going for Toad\'s promo.
There will be Wild Pack members at all Toad\'s Place shows that are good matches for peeps were trying to bring in. I am hoping that Monday is the first date of promotion. I am going to have the Tour Poster updated and flyers ready to go.
Let me know if your interested in promotion for this show.
-
I\'ll take one of those spots :D

I honestly only went last time to see BRAQfast, and def dug RAQ\'s stuff. I recognized one of their tunes from the "optical illusion" DVD. (that I watched over and over and over again at the merch table) But I had a good time, I\'ll go see them again.
