With all of the speculation on Allan and Vee, the announcement of the Chicago gig dates is a shot of much needed reassurance.

Chicago is as far east as Powder gets during the year, unless you want to count the UK or Germany or Japan.  July 9th is the only confirmed date on the site but is this an EXTRA Chicago gig?

Market Days and Hollbrook are usually in early August, this date is early July.  A new Chicago gig for the band?  There are lots of possibilities but nothing I can nail down from the web just yet.  Keep watching everyone.

BTW: Tickets for the Galaxy Theatre are online at Ticketmaster.

“A special thanks to Allan for being a big part of POWDER & Vee for his contribution over the last year. We wish them well on their journey.” -The Latest: January 30, 2006

I immediately went into snoop mode and contacted all my Powder insiders to find out what is going on.  Nothing yet, so until we get an official note from Ninette I would assume that this is just an official “Thanks” for all the hard work over the last few very busy months.

Props out to Tony TV, this guy stands head and shoulders above the rest, even without the stilts. I have spent some time with Tony TV in Chicago and watched him prepare for a show, rather, prepare THE show. From set design to safety inspector to public relations and all that while getting pumped to perform, Tony can do it all because he IS doing it all. I got to ask him one question while he was setting up for the Halsted Days performance 2005, “What will you like most about finally hitting ‘the big time’?”

“Roadies.”

You go TTV!

Ninette, is that how you ride a motorcycle?

Hey everyone, I was thinking about which tidbit I would pass along first and came up with a small bit of information that is out there but has to be searched for in order to find. Powder has had, as have many many many rock and roll bands, several drummers. In fact, Powder is on their 4th drummer since 2001. My challenge to you is to name all 4 of them. The last couple are easy since it has been a relativly recent change of guard. Even some of the Powder Faithful may not know all 4.

I am not going to name them, but let it up to you readers to find them, and have the satisfaction of a search well done. You can, of course, email me with threats and bribes (bribes work MUCH better), and see if you can find my price. It used to be a pizza and 2 liter of Coke.

Powdermusicfan is now online and since it is in a blog format I had better have some juicy tidbits every now and then, eh? Maybe some wicked pictures from shows, maybe some behind the scenes stories and pics? Maybe an expose on mama’s real hair color?

Maybe.
