Members pink floyd cramer Posted March 24, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 24, 2009 I think I can help you with the name of the Minot bar. It used to be called Friday's. Now it's The Rocking Horse. As far as I know, they still have bands 6 days a week and a band house near the bar itself. That was it, thanks. I hate those stripper-less band houses.

Members Rich4Once Posted March 25, 2009 Members Share Posted March 25, 2009 Did the touring cover circuit from 94-97 in the southeast. Easily the best time of my life. Can't remember the names of all the places (I'm sure I'm missing a few too) cause that was a good while ago... and I drank alot then. But this should give you an idea. Some of these places we played numerous times, others just once.Alabama:Dothan - The HangerScottsboro - HurricanesFlorida:Key West - Durty Harry'sFt Walton - CherokeesPanama City - La Vela Georgia:Atlanta - MacGruder'sValdosta - ?Marietta - Jimmy Mac'sColumbia - RockmeyersIndiana:Indianapolis - The Back DoorKentucky:Louisville - Toy TigerPaducah - ?Owensboro - ?Michighan:Holland - Back DoorKalamazoo - ?Mississippi:Jackson - the DockNorth Carolina:Fayetteville - The Flaming MugJacksonville - Planet RockGoldsboro - Seymour Johnson Airforce BaseGreensboro - CathouseRaleigh - LongbranchRoanoke Rapids - ?Ohio:Dayton - ?South Carolina:Charleston - HammerjaxColumbia - WizardsMyrtle Beach - Rockburger & BangersTennessee:Chattanooga - YesterdaysJohnson City - ?Virginia:Petersburg - The CoppermineRoanoke - Scooch'sSalem - CheersLynchburg - Gatsby'sMartinsville - ?Lexington - Frat gigWest Virginia:Charleston - ?Wisconsin:Janesville - ? If you played the Back Door in Holland, then the Kalamazoo club was probably Pepper's. I played both of those places, along with others in Muskegon, Jackson, Grand Rapids, and Battle Creek. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember it ,, I never have been in it ,, I didnt move to kzoo till like 91 or so. It prolly was a downtown club that went through several name changes over the years. I did audition a guitar player a couple years ago that played somewhere down there. He was talking about how he made a suit out of bubble wrap and played . eeeeeeeeeek Was it an orignal music type place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did have a full-length CD of originals though, and we sprinkled them throughout the 4 sets. I don't remember specifically, but most of the places we played were a Tuesday thru Saturday deal. That was probably the case there, too. I know a bunch of road bands played there, because I hooked up with a girl that had a "boyfriend" in each band. I don't think she'd have done that with local bands. Well, then again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only played there once - and I barely remember that trip, cause our arrival night was my b-day. I ended up hanging out with the band that was there - Thin Ice... left the club in a "highly" Cheech n Chongish state. Which band we're you in?

When I first joined the band we were called Johnny Quest. When we decided to start writing our own music, as opposed to playing exclusively covers, we did the name change, but kept the JQ initials so we could still be identified by our fans.

Members THX1138 Posted March 26, 2009 Members Share Posted March 26, 2009 I sorta recall a Johnny Quest. We didn't go up north much, so I'm not as familiar with the bands on that circuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rich4Once Posted March 26, 2009 Members Share Posted March 26, 2009 I sorta recall a Johnny Quest. We didn't go up north much, so I'm not as familiar with the bands on that circuit. We were based out of Lincoln Nebraska, and we would use booking agents in different areas. We toured the Pacific Northwest (Idaho, Oregon, Washington) and then the Midwest (Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois) and even did a brief jaunt to the Southeast, where we played North and South Carolina. By the time we were touring across the country, we were known as Josephine's Quarantine. The Johnny Quest stuff was mainly when we were regional around Nebraska.

I remember Hammerjax in Charleston, SC. At one time it was called Illusions. For awhile there were at least two bars inside the building. One of the bars was the Golden Banana. They had male strippers. The last time I drove by that building, three or four years ago, it was a church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
