Shenanigan's/June's Birthday Bash 3/21/09

It was our pleasure to perform at June's birthday bash held at Shenanigan's in Bay Ridge,Brooklyn. Birthday girl performed a rousing rendition of "Walking on Sunshine" with the band (and a fine job she did as well) 

Our new male lead singer Ferris had the crowd up and by the second set dancing with frenzy and 80's abandonment as the drinks flowed and the tunes kept on coming as we so like to do in our own special way. Thanks everyone for coming down and dressing in 80s style and fashion making it a truly colorful evening.

Pre-gig I sauntered across the street with Diamond Dave for a good old fashioned slice of Brooklyn Pizza at Buon Gusto brick oven Pizza and Restaurant which I had been eyeballing since our last Shenanigan's gig and they certainly delivered their promise of Cheese+Sauce+Dough=happy 80s band member. Nothing outstanding to say but nothing negative as well, this slice gets 3 stars. They did have some nice looking specialty slices (a la Vodka slice anyone?) but its always good to begin with the standard "slice" and branch out from there even in the face of a wide array of FOODish temptation.

The New Airwaves!!!

Hello 80's Fans, we're back! After an exhaustive search for just the right person, we have an incredible new singer to help take us to the next level of awesomeness. So please welcome Ferris to The Airwaves! The New Airwaves will make their debut at Shenanigans on 3rd (Third Ave. at 89th St.) in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn on Saturday March 21st. It is also a party thrown by one of our biggest fans Betsy, to celebrate the birthday of her friend June. That weekend also marks the beginning of spring, a time of rebirth that is perfect for our re-introduction to the world. We have many new songs to share with you, so come down and shake your booty with the greatest 80's cover band in America! Be there or be square.

A Special Thanks to Michael (The Stickmen, Bridget Jones Diary) and Kandy for coming down to our New Year's Eve Bash and helping Blue Jean with her vocal duties at the mike and in the 11th hour might I add. Michael entertained the crowd with his Agressive Showmanship,Professional Vocal Delivery and Baffling yet persistent Cries of "Right!!!, What's All This Then"

Of all the days of the year.

One Set Aside.

To ponder FOOD (and our country too blahblahblah)

ABOUT THE FEAST: The Array was Dazzling to the eye and the air was so stuff(ing)ed... I mean thick you could cut it with a gravy ladle,...uhh,...knife.

Here's a plate of (clockwise from 12 noon or midnight your choice) Twenty Four Hour Brined American Turkey, Turkey Skin flanked  by Seasoned Farmery Carrots (slightly below, near where the Westclox logo would be), Homeade Stuffing of the Perfect type,Creamy Mashed Taters with Butter and Sour Cream,Brussell Sprout's with Bacon and Apple Vinegar,a Slice of Bakery fresh Bread flanked by the homeade version of America's Favorite, String Bean Casserole!!! with sauteed Onions and Mushrooms in a Rue (Gotta Love Rue's) and finally at 11:50 the homeade Cranberry Sauce. Yes Virginia There is non-canned Cranberry Sauce (I applaud the folks at Ocean Spray just the same,Lovely products). Things havent been the same since I tasted Kroger's Cranberry Celebration.

And for afters. 

Le dessert (They are saved as "After's" for a reason,mmmm). Tonight we have Freeform Apple/Pear cobbler with an air propelled dollop of whipping creme (at 2 p.m.) and a homeade Brownie with Chocolate AND Butterscotch chips to boot. As well as Tasty Coffee (didja ever notice how a cuppa joe can look quite realistically like a cuppa gravy) which was way under appreciated after such the ordeal of Flavor onhand.

Thank You to Joe and Jenny C. for the Scrumptious and Lovely Meal,Hospitality and Mavendom.

and to the 80's for giving us the Thanksgiving holiday to begin with.

Underscore/Bar East 11/21/08

There was no food to be had at the Underscore but as has been said in days of yore "Gin and Tonic is a type of food". No drink tickets but they knocked a buck off the beverage prices for band members.

I had to have something crunchy to compliment my juniper and quinine concoction and potato crisps always make the grade as do roasted nuts. Bless the people at Planters as the cheaper brands are skimping on the volume in their little fifty cent tubes of nutty joy whereas Mr. Peanut still delivers a full 1.75 ounces and for just nine cents more.

Gobble Gobble like totally Gobble

Happy Thanksgiving everyone from The Airwaves. There is a lot to be thankful for! And we thank you for your support. Remember to spread the word to your families about our gig at BB Kings on December 26th!
Peace, love, and happiness to you always.
Hopefully Animal will share with us another food picture of his thanksgiving feast!

With love, leg warmers, and thanks~Blue Jean
