Mike, not Dave, is the guy who jumps on people's backs and drives them > around. Doug: that was *Spidey* (hey, if we're going to differentiate between Dave and the King, then we can do it for Mike too ;>). I suppose this requires a short explanation... At the Thunder Bay show this past July, Spidey decided that another part of Früvous' rider was that "Spiderman gets to jump on one of the attractive couple in the sandtrap!" and proceeded to jump on my friend Glenn's back. Glenn, not being the shy type, then carried Mike (at a run) around the crowd, much to our surprise and delight. (Yes, I do have a scanned pic of this, I just haven't sent it to ChrisO yet *g* Anyone who wants to see it can at NoHo) Btw, when Mike got back on stage (and the guys had stopped laughing), the first thing Jian (or was that Dave?) said was "well, I bet *that* woke security up!" The rest of that list is hilarious! Well done! :) Drea 3 more days!!! - -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 26 Oct 1998 22:26:42 GMT From: "Nowik, George" Subject: RE: Strange ILMB moment > From: fruwench@aol.com[SMTP:fruwench@aol.com] > Subject: Re: Strange ILMB moment > > "Love Set Fire" is beautiflu to waltz to. > > ladywench > (remembering a parking lot in Seattle and a wonderful and very patient > dance > partner) > *blush* -= norg =- ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 26 Oct 1998 22:26:42 GMT From: Marty Blase Subject: Re: Dancing, which once was "Strange ILMB moment" At 02:12 PM 10/26/98 -0800, Nowik, George wrote: >> jordan, thinking "Hmmm... maybe a dance class at Frucon?" >> >that idea has come up a few times, actually ... i'm willing to teach >one. the original idea was a waltz class to love set fire. if there >are takers, i'll be glad to do something. i don't know who's in charge, >but fill email boxes if you wanna do it.

Not since the early '70s "Fillmore East" heyday of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention has a band been quite so technically brilliant but so completely off the wall as Moxy Fruvous. It's said that Moxy has to be seen to be believed and after several studio albums the Canadian quartet has wisely issued this career-spanning live set culled from its Fall 1997 North American Tour. The trademark four-part harmonies are gloriously intact, blending perfectly into offbeat tales like "Michigan Militia," the tongue-twisting, rapid-fire "Johnny Saucep'n," and two very different versions of the doo-wop diamond "King of Spain." Exceptional covers of Talking Heads' "Psycho Killer," and The Bee Bees' "I've Gotta Get a Message to You," round out the set that also features healthy doses of the Moxy's [sic] twisted between-song stage banter. (Moxy Fruvous will perform Oct. 30-31 at the Iron Horse Music Hall in Northampton). ------------------------------ Date: 27 Oct 1998 00:44:08 GMT From: jimcclur@ews.uiuc.edu (Jordan I. K.

I don't have the tape handy for the exact quote, : but it's something about "....W.C. Fields, ...in love with 4/5 of The Nields". : Every time I hear that, I wonder who is the one member of The Nields Mike is : not in love with. On thier Midwest tour, Moxy added "Gotta Get Over Greta" to the Love Potion Medley and the Nields sort of dedicated "Superhero Soup" to Fruvous, adding the following verse, to the tune of a Who song, the name of which I forget: Out here in the fields I am one of the Nields We do our best to make you groove with us. But we don't even come close To the superheros Those in a band called Moxy Fruvous. jordan - -- Boxing is a lot like ballet, except that they don't dance, there isn't any music, and they hit each other. ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #872 ********************************************
