Why band that plays at wedding is superior

Hi TFEW Land -
Please, if you at all slightly care for the tender few, please vote on a fan club name - Michael Mullen did, and for that, we love him to the "core" as yoga instructors would say.  Anyway...i'm currently at a wedding near Yosemite, CA and i have email access - which, is fucked to begin with. But, here I am, being a terrible guest, checking email and uploading to a blog.  good fucking  god.  However, there is a band playing and they're getting people to dance, and i'm a bit awed by the event.  I think this cover/wedding band is much better than the tender few and it saddens me.  but, i think it's true. their name is "Downtown Xpress".   

They played a STEVE  MILLER song - it just KILLED.  you know the song - early, classic miller about being a picker, joker and a midnight toker, or something like that... and the crowd ate it up like free jalapeno poppers samples at costco.  it made me think that maybe the tender few should be a wedding band.  we certainly would get more gigs and we would get paid much better.  If only we knew the chord progression to the "shake it like a polaroid picture" song.   

TRUE STORY - I went to get some whites wines at the reception and, well, the wine poorer was not at his station.  he was out in front of the band jumping and singing to some CURE song that i can't remember the name of, but i'm sure you'd like it.   Now, in all of the countless TFEW live shows, have we ever stirred a bartender so much that they abandoned their posts to rock out to Emperor of Rain? According to our research, that has never happened.  Fuck.  What conclusion can we draw from this?  probably not good ones. 

Also, the guitar player is so good that he can easily go from "let's get it started" to "honky tonk woman" to "you can't touch this" to a cheap trick classic to "brick house".  their versatility is amazing.  

a bit drunk and perplexed.  

we love you.  

  

the tender few or as the french would say l'offre peu.

T-Few Fan Club Needs a Name

In these days of post-independence day ennui, and waiting (from afar) for the next Tender Few performance, it may be time to put up to a virtual suggestion box for NAMES FOR THE TENDER FEW FANCLUB. The group is growing -- soon 'dozens' will apply -- and a name is needed. We need help here.

Possible suggestions include:

* Wren Seed
* Magic Cabin Dwellers
* Fewrifics
* T-Few Fans
* Sir Isaac Fewtons
* Like a Turgeon (Club)

Note that 'Silver Bullet Gang' is taken for Seger already.

A Blog All Band Members Can Enjoy

Let's just say that we're loving every minute of it. Thanks to all that made it out to the HEMLOCK to see us unplug our electric guitars in the middles of songs. This is the stage that we played on for the lovelies in the audience. See how nice the stage is? Remember, this is before Rich threw-up because he was so nervous.

Sarah is not in the tender few, although we would love to have her as a front-woman. She plays drums for the always stunning The Ebb and Flow.
