A trip to outer space with The NoMen 👍👏👌 (Better than one with Bezos or Branson)

6:06 PM, August 21st, 2021
Steve Kirkland (host)
Much, much cheaper too, eh Wally?

6:07 PM, August 21st, 2021
Wally
Yes at only the cost of a few coffees & the trip comes with free Space Candy 😂

Steffi in Lowertown
Bucklin' up for another great Saturday night!

6:08 PM, August 21st, 2021
Steve Kirkland (host)
Steffi, so nice to have you back... buckling up is always a more comfortable way to ride the radio... prepares you for the unexpected, non?

6:19 PM, August 21st, 2021
Steve Kirkland (host)
Wally, some nice swag in that package from The NoMen... ear candy first and foremost

6:21 PM, August 21st, 2021
Steffi in Lowertown
Oui, tu as raison, Steve. Bon show!

6:25 PM, August 21st, 2021
Steve Kirkland (host)
Merci à toi, S, j'appréce que tu écoutes aussi bien que tu entends

1997-2003 was a good time for music in Ottawa. Birdman and DesTrois brought in lots of interesting acts to town. ... 2003 stands out for the Birdman Stage at BF. .... Dead Moon ... Mr. Airplane Man ... etc... never to be out-done.

6:42 PM, August 21st, 2021
Steve Kirkland (host)
Unbelievable that the BS Stage was almost 20 years ago, hein?

Also unbelievable that it was a difficult decision to leave the Birdman Stage to go see the Allman Brothers, and, the Blues Brothers. ... shows how good the booking was. JW is a legend.

6:51 PM, August 21st, 2021
Wally
I think Birdman Stage also brought in Outrageous Cherry who I really liked but only caught part of the show 👌

6:51 PM, August 21st, 2021

6:52 PM, August 21st, 2021

Birdman sound stage CYNICS, Tblues cat, cannot momentarily think his name, but assistant buddy had to chase behind him on Elgin after he did his fix ta keep him and eliginites safe.

6:56 PM, August 21st, 2021
mp
cynics was full of rcmp 'cause lead singer was a heroin addict ,loved the location!

Steffi in Lowertown
mikep ... there was one guy who was very similar to Andre Williams ... me and my buddy ran into him at Harvey's? McDonald's? across the street. Not sure it it's same guy that you're referring to.

7:03 PM, August 21st, 2021
Steve Kirkland (host)
mp, a tantalizing information... t for that

7:03 PM, August 21st, 2021
Steffi in Lowertown
The Dirtbombs were there too!

7:07 PM, August 21st, 2021
Steve Kirkland (host)

Steffi, I also remember The Bellrays, Los Straitjackets, the Paybacks, Nathaniel Mayer, T-Model Ford and many many more. I'm probably conflating a few years together, tho.

7:11 PM, August 21st, 2021
Ian
And great show, Steve. Always love to hear New Model Army.

7:13 PM, August 21st, 2021
Steve Kirkland (host)
Ian, hope all is well with and at yours! More choice acts remembered... conflate on!

7:15 PM, August 21st, 2021
Wally
Hey Ian, that New Model Army song was great, don't remember hearing that before or.maybe it's just my memory slipping as I do have a few of their albums

7:36 PM, August 21st, 2021
Ian
Hey Wally! Ottawa seems to be a NMA town. I know a few others that are really into them. I remember they played here in the late '80's but I missed it.

7:40 PM, August 21st, 2021
Wally
I missed that show too as I wasn't getting out to too many shows in the late 80's but it must have been a good show

7:44 PM, August 21st, 2021
Steve Kirkland (host)
Remember enough of that NMA show to remember that I attended it...

7:46 PM, August 21st, 2021
