Gearing Up For 10/29
On Saturday 10/29 the Dudley Manlove Quartet will be performing our annual Halloween Spooktacular show at the Sunset in Ballard. Every year our Halloween show includes our tribute to some other band, so our second set involves a costume change and we come onstage to play a number of songs as another band. In past years we’ve done such bands as The Talking Heads, Spinal Tap, The B52’s and David Bowie. This year we’re working up songs from another band; technically it’s a surprise, but I think most people have a strong hunch based on the (outright blatant) clues we’ve dropped 🙂
I’ve been transcribing guitar parts and working up the tones to recreate the style of the guitarist in this year’s band. It should be a very enjoyable show and I know we’re all looking forward to playing this special set.
For the gig this weekend I’m planning to bring my trusty Mesa Boogie Lonestar, two Stratocasters (the black custom shop model and the white Eric Johnson model), my pedalboard, and the usual miscellany of cords and stands. Definitely going to be a show to remember. If you haven’t already gotten a ticket, we only have a few dozen remaining, so act now!
