Prince George

Here we are in Prince George BC  gearing up for our second show of the day and it’s only 11 am.

This will be our 17th show in the last 9 days.  NOT TOO SHABBY.  We have an all ages show tonight at St. Micheals Community Center and then tomorrow at Riley’s PUB.

I’m rambling right now but overall this tour has been unreal!!!!!

big thanks YAMAHA CANADA and to our Management and Booking agency’s for hooking us up with such great touring.

LOVE!!!

3.  We need to give a big shout out to Yamaha Canada for sponsoring our band and helping us out with instruments, sound equipment, and overall support for the work we do.

4.  ARTSTARTS is amazing as well as our management team www.magnumom.ca and of course our booking agency http://www.turnerentertainmentgroup.com  for all the help they give us.

It wasn’t just a rock it was a RAWK OPERA

In two days we have a crazy-hard task!!

Speed Control must perform a RAWK-OPERA under 90 decibels!!!! HOLY COW this is gonna be so hard!!  “The Busker and the Barista” is the creation of Barry “Jack” Jenkins, who is the co-writer of such Speed Control hits as “TENT CITY” and ‘All my Songs”/  Come one and Come all!!

THEN we got some wicked shows coming up and a wicked tour coming up and even a new WEBSITE coming up.  STAY TUNED!!!
