Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
we last played live around a decade ago, we had some great gigs, got the girls (and guys)dancing @ Die Maschine (Collective Cabaret), The Spectrum (Pyramid), West End Cultural Centre, The Junkyard (gone), and Blue Note Cafe (also gone)....mostly in and around the heart of downtown Winnipeg! WECC circa 1996...we got them really dancing...unfortunately no tape exists of that show (far as we know) - anyone?
