The secret is out...

...Calvaire

October 20th 2006 bore witness to an historical moment in music history: the premiere performance of Calvaire at the El Mocambo.

Barrelfuls of our close, personal friends and family came out to attend this performance and were not disappointed. Spectators were dazzled by the the efforts of (in alphabetical order) Robin Jones (drums), Chris Morais (guitar), Jason Nobrega (bass), and Joe Pascale (guitar). Although the show was short, it was a sweet taste of things to come. Plans are in the works for another (longer) show and arrangements are being made to record at Jerry Velvet Studios. Robin Jones would like to add that Jerry and Filip Endula have been a huge source of motivation and inspiration throughout the writing process. Demos have been recorded with Jerry's portable studio at the band's rehearsal space, but the band wants to wait until professional recordings have been made before any material is heard (except for live shows, obviously).

Although plans were made to have the show filmed for a special dvd, technical difficulties (specifically, batteries were not charged) prohibited this from happening. The band promises that all future shows will be taped as well as recording sessions with Jerry Velvet, for an extra special dvd. Stay tuned!

The band's official photographer, Jeff Razon, was commissioned to photograph the show and his work will be posted here or at the googlepages website shortly. The band would also like to thank Jeff for his work and hope to see him at future shows. We would also like to invite anyone wanting to either photograph or film these shows or sessions to contact Jerry at jerryvelvet (at) gmail (dot) com. All used media will be credited and paid for (good for your portfolio, too).

Fan support has been very encouraging, and the band wish to thank whole-heartedly all of those who attended. Your comments mean a lot to us and we can't wait to see you at our next shows.
