i've been waiting

After entering The DPRS into mispace in 06 I quickly discovered The Hoa Hoa's & they quickly became one of my favorite bands. Since 08 it has secretly been my goal to share a stage with these beautiful psychedelic giants but it never happened, until this Friday night. I know it's a fest gig, but its still a major honour to go on right before them. Pop, Drone, Pedals & sonic bloom friends. July 2011 has been amazing.

Out Of The Box Festival + NEW DRUMMER!

Hey ohhhh!
Many thanks for the great night at our debut Horseshoe gig. West coast and east coast fans threw so much love at us. We are still riding high friends. We are already in talks with promoter about the possibility of opening a show this summer with the Agency Group. More info later.

Now on to our next gig this friday....the Out Of the Box Fest. We are most proud to be a part of this one. It is a music and arts festival. Are you ready, here check this out:

SHOW - July 19 @ The Horseshoe Tavern

The Davey Parker Radio Sound make their Horseshoe Tavern debut July 19th. Bucket list...yeah I think so. We are playing with none other than ELEANOR FRIEDBERGER from the Fiery Furnaces. Performing a number of cuts I imagine from her debut solo album. A couple other solid bands will be on the bill with us. Sleeper Agent from Kentucky!) and Vas Vega (Toronto - new band to us). And this shit is free. Aight.
















Fun Fact > first time I hit up the horshoe tavern was approx 1999. my concert going days hadn't really begun yet, so the horseshoe vibe kinda wasn't my thing. But with out of town high school buddies anything can happen. Paul suggested horseshoe, horseshoe, horsehose. I reluctantly said yes and found myself face to face with these fucking guys:















now there is probably somone out there who will say that 'no way gwar ever played the horseshoe'. perhaps that cat may be correct. doesnt change the fact that the first band i ever saw at the horseshoe looked like this.

safe to say i got the hell out of there, hit up gorilla monsoons next door and got my drunk on.

see you on July 19th at the horseshoe!!
