Electric Temples @ 12 Bar
June 12, 2021 @ 8:00 pm - 11:30 pm NZST
FreeThe Blues is a kinda feeling you get when things maybe ain’t going so good, like you just lost your job, and maybe your woman been steppin’ out on you, and your love gun ain’t what it used to be back in the ol’ days.
Now, some bright fella took those feelings, picked up a guitar and started in to playin’. He just let them blues out into the world, and dogged if he didn’t feel a little better.
Many traditional blues follow a twelve-bar construction, like a prison cell. The first three bars are the Blue Hog Bar in New Orleans, Gritty Sam’s Alamo Pub in Shreveport, and the Fecund Rabbit Tofu Bar in San Francisco. Once a bluesman has performed at these three bars they are said to have “seen the elephant” or “muddied the water”, phrases which we confess baffle us no end. The remaining nine bars can be Mars Bars, Hersheys, Milky Ways, or anything with dark chocolate.
We will dunking our fingers in some of the finest Delta, as well as playing some of our freshest originals. Joining us for the first ever time will be MIM and the young but ever-so-talented, Sneaky Caribbean Monk Seals!
