OLD NEWS...

Catch up on past updates here:

AUGUST

A look back at July:

  • We kicked off July at one of our favorite events of the year, the Rochester Jaycee's Night Before the Fourth Fireworks show. The chance to perform for over 20,000 people is always a great motivator and we're always excited for the show. There were lots of changes this year. The Jaycee's cut both the field and the stage in half, moving everything way closer to the people. On the downside, the weather was a bit sketchy. After a sunny start, the dark clouds starting rolling in just as we wrapped our sound check and by 5:30 it was a full-on downpour. Fortunately, the rain tapered off around 6:30 and with lightning and neighborhood fireworks for a backdrop, we got off the show.  Thanks again to the Jaycees for having us out!
  • We were back at "The Barn" on July 5th for an Independence Day Celebration. A lot of folks were up at the lake and the barn was rocking! They billed the event as an 80's party and a many people dressed the part. Very cool! A big thanks again to Mike for keeping us liquored-up and well entertained with his lip-synching. His Enrique Iglesias impression is killer.
  • After a couple of years away from the Port City we made our return on the 18th at The Page. Formerly the 80's hot-spot Bananas, the building has seen a bit of a resurgence since becoming The Page. Gone is the greenhouse seating and the island flair, replaced with a more modern, updated look. The band plays in the basement, which has a very cool, old-school club vibe to it. We arrived just as the black clouds began boiling up overhead and the last of the gear just beat the heavy rain and tornado warnings inside. Fortunately, the nasty weather didn't deter the crowds and we had a great showing for our first time out. Everyone had a great time and we're excited to announce we'll be back at The Page on September 12th!
  • Though we didn't see tornados here on the seacoast, nasty storms cancelled our appearance at the Music-By-The-Sea Concert Series. Hopefully we'll have better luck next year!
  • It was a very special GAZPACHO show at Kelley's Row on the last Saturday of the Month.  Thanks to everyone who joined us for the release of PLEATHER AND PAIN, our first Live CD.  Between the fog from our new fog-machine and the pre-game festivities, it was a bit of a hazy night overall. Still, it was great being back at the Row!
  • We closed out July at the Hot Summer Nights Concert Series in South Berwick. Big surprise, rain and thunderstorms were in the forecast yet again forcing the show inside the sweltering City Hall Auditorium. While our sound check went off without a hitch, seconds into the first song the fire alarm went off forcing us to evacuate the building (a first for GAZPACHO). Despite the heat, evacuation and the delay we still had a great crowd that stuck it out to the end. It was nice as always to see a lot of families digging the music together. While the rampant debauchery of an adults only club show is certainly entertaining, as parents it's always fun to play a "family" oriented event and watch the kiddies rocking out. The Hot Summer Nights Folks promise us they'll have us back next year. We can't wait!

PLEATHER AND PAIN  It is here, our first Live CD.  Featuring tunes from our last weekend at Kelley's in April, it's sure to cure any GAZPACHO cravings you might have between shows.  See us at a show to get your copy!

 

A THREE HOUR TOUR...
We're busy with reunions and private events for most of the August but we're setting sail on the 18th and 30th for a couple of cruises on the MV Thomas Laighton. First up is our "Rockin' The River" show with our good friends from 105.3FM The Shark. Shark cruises are always a great time with lots of prizes and giveaways. The 30th is an Isles of Shoals Steamship Company Party Boat Cruise. It's a great way to wrap up summer, we hope to see you there!

SEE YOU LATER SUMMER?!?! Didn't the snow just melt? Looking ahead to fall, we'll be back at The Page in Portsmouth on the 12th, Willy's Ale Room in Acton on September 20th and our Weekend At Kelley's Row shows kick back off the last weekend of the month in September.  We hope to see you out!
 

JULY

June's Recap:

  • It was a first for us on the 7th as we performed at a barn party on Bow Lake. The party host leases several properties on the lake and shuttles tenants up to a barn which he's converted into a function hall for the shows. It was quite cool. Here's a shout out to Joe Hooper, one of the more interesting (and flatulent) patrons we've met.  A big thanks to our on-site contact Mike for all the help, lethal drinks and swag for his company: MSG Manufacturing. They've already invited us back for an Independence Day celebration. Cool!
  • We made our debut on the 14th at Willy's Ale Room in Acton, ME. As always with a new room some distance from our home turf, we weren't sure what to expect. Much to our surprise, Willy's turned out to be a great debut. The club was cool, the staff great and the food was awesome (we definitely recommend the wings, killer!). As if that wasn't enough, we had a great crowd out to the show and made some new fans. Thanks to everyone who made the trip up, it was great as always seeing a lot of familiar faces. The drinks were coming fast and furious, fortunately Maine is much more considerate towards the entertainment in regards to their liquor laws. Thanks to "Queensryche" Mark for the kamakazis, Jenny for the Captain and Cokes (we'll get 867-5309 into the set for you next show for sure!) and Tim for the beers. We've been getting a lot of messages from people hoping we'll be back, and we're pleased to say that our return to Willy's is already booked for September 20th!
  • We hit the beach at the NASWA resort on Lake Winnipesauke with the folks from Hair Excitement on the 23rd for their company picnic. A little rain didn't dampen their spirits, right away everyone was getting into it and by the third set people we're rocking in the sand, chicken fights had broken out under the tent and folks were in the water! We had a blast (and Chris may have found a new hair stylist)!  Thanks!
  • The month ended at the Wentworth By The Sea Golf Club, where we performed for the last day of the Oyster River Class of 88 Reunion.  It was Sunday and a family day, which meant a pretty laid-back gig, but we always enjoy seeing the little kids rocking out!

PLEATHER AND PAIN  We're making a special appearance on the 26th at Kelley's Row for the release of our long-awaited Live CD.  For those that missed it, we recorded our final two performances of the spring at Kelley's Row and will be releasing selections from the show as PLEATHER AND PAIN: Live at Kelley's Row!  We hope to see you there! 

FRESH BLOOD
  Three first time performances for us in July:

First up, we'll be making our debut at The Page in Portsmouth on the 18th.  We've been itching to get a steady gig going in the Port City and The Page has a good buzz going about it, so please come out and help us rock the place!

Next up, is an event we're very excited about, the Seacoast Science Center Music-By-The-Sea Concert Series.  Now a few years old, these shows have become a major Seacoast event and have attracted some of the top talent in the region, including Cape heroes Entrain!  We're very excited to be on the bill this year and hope you can make it down to join us at the beach!  This is a family friendly event, so pack up the kids and come on down!

We're very sad to say that one of our favorite events of the summer will not be happening this year.  The Dover National Night Out has become a victim of the recently enacted Dover Tax Cap.  For those looking for something to do on the last Thursday in July (the 31st), we'd like to recommend the Hot Summer Nights Concert Series over in South Berwick, ME.  We'll be rocking the Central School Lawn from 6:30-8:30PM!  It's family friendly and free, bring your gatorade, spread out a blanket, throw down some lawn chairs, and let the kiddies party like it's...(yeah, you get it)...
 


JUNE

The May that was:

  • The Relay For Life Benefit at the Rochester Elks was a blast. We like to do a few "karma" gigs throughout the year and this show was a great example of why. Tons of people came out to help a great cause. Every table in the room was filled and the dance floor was packed from the get-go. Thanks a lot to everyone who made it out!  Check out some pics on our Media Page.
  • We played what's looking like our swan song at Michael's Harborside on the 9th. Word on the street is Michael's is ending their live entertainment and we may have been the last band to perform there. That said we went out with a great show. Michael's was packed as usual and a lot of people made it down from the Seacoast. It was our good friend Amy's birthday and she had a large contingent out to celebrate. We got her up on stage for a rousing version of Hit Me With Your Best Shot, complete with alternate lyrics. Happy Birthday!
  • The birthdays continued as we rocked a private 50th party at the Cochecho Country Club on the 10th. Happy Birthday!
  • Thursday, the 15th we performed at St. Paul's school in Concord, NH as part of their "Spring Fling". St. Paul's doesn't do an official "prom", so this event sort of makes up for it. Our pal, DJ Scott Langlois hooked us up with the gig. We got to play an hour set for the school on a huge stage in a classy auditorium, and then Scott had the kids rocking in a tent out back for the rest of the night. Given the age of the average attendee (14-18), upscale location and several hundred students dressed in their finest prom-wear we weren't sure what to expect, but the St. Paul's kids quickly showed they can rock with the best of them. Separate Ways prompted a mass rush to the stage and it immediately felt like a full on rock show. They didn't let up until we wrapped the show with a request for Duran Duran. Several groups actually stuck around to take some photos with us. Very cool. Hopefully we'll be back again!
  • We wrapped up May with a killer show at the Dover Brickhouse. We debuted a few new tunes and some new hair-dos. Our sincere apologies to Amy whose sweatshirt accidentally got used for a hand towel after Renee stowed it backstage for her. Apparently red hair gel and a white sweatshirt do not mix. Oops...

WILLY'S ALE ROOM  We're tied up with private functions most of the month, but there's a chance to catch us in Acton, ME on the 14th at Willy's Ale Room.  It's a new venue, so we'd love to see some familiar faces to help us look good!!!

In case you missed it, new tunes for May included:
In My Dreams - Dokken (a long-time request finally fulfilled!)
Relax - Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Living After Midnight - Judas Priest

 


MAY

We had an interesting April, here's a look back:

  • We returned to Portland on the 12th, appearing at Bubba's Sulky Lounge. Having played most of our Portland shows in the Old Port, we were a bit apprehensive at finding Bubba's in a much less desirable part of town. The tone was set within seconds of arrival as we were accosted in the back parking lot by a 20-something, strung out looking dude wanting to see if we were interested in "purchasing" a CD player for our car. It got more interesting during the load-in as a constant stream of disheveled persons in various states of drunkenness approached the van looking for info on the band and a free shirt. The last pieces of gear went into the club accompanied by a stream of obscenities from a domestic dispute that erupted across the street. We locked the van up tight.

    Inside, Bubba's proved to be one of the more eclectic places we've played. The place was decorated in a style we can only describe as antique shop/early-20th-century-yard-sale-chic. There was more flair than at your local Applebee's and Chili's combined. And it was everywhere. On the walls, on the floors, hanging off the ceiling, every available space, nook and cranny was filled. Seriously. In the midst of all this was the club's centerpiece, a fully interactive light-up dance floor. How this fit into the overall interior design scheme of the place, we're not sure. Still it was pretty cool to see people rocking out to You Spin Me Right Round on a light-up floor. Too bad we still weren't doing Billie Jean.

    It was by no means a sell-out, but we did have a respectable crowd filling the dance floor all night long. Despite the questionable location, a mostly young, hip and energetic clientele filtered into the club throughout the night. As well, we had several friends make the trek up to Portland to see the show. Thanks a lot to them, we can't say enough how nice it is to be playing a new place and see some familiar faces in the crowd. The staff was very nice as well, giving us as much help and direction as needed.  Lastly a big thanks to our pal Zach "Dingo" Taylor for coming up and working the door for us.

    It's not looking like we'll be going back to Bubba's, but it was an interesting experience to say the least. Our quest for a cool Portland club continues...
  • Our last Kelley's Row Weekend until fall was a huge success. The shows sold out well in advance and we had great crowds out both nights! Saturday night was especially crazy with tons of folks rocking the 80's Dress-code. We recorded Saturday night's show and will be releasing it within the coming months, we'll keep you posted!
  • We wrapped up the month with a private party for the folks at Hair Excitement. We had a great time and are looking forward to more shows with them in the near future.

SUMMER 08  Along with the weather, our summer schedule is heating up. We have a lot of private functions keeping us busy through the warmer months, but there will be plenty of opportunities to catch us out and about.  We'll be making our usual appearance at the Rochester Night Before the Fourth Fireworks Celebration. It's one of our favorite events of the summer and your chance to see both us rocking a crowd of over 20K and a pretty kickass fireworks demonstration.  We'll be making our debut at the Seacoast Science Center Music-By-The-Sea Concert Series.  And we'll be back on the Thomas Laighton for a cruise or two.  Summer shows are always coming in, so stay tuned!
 


APRIL

Here's a look back at March:

  • It was another killer St. Patty's Day at the Dover Brickhouse. People were filling in so fast we had to cut our soundcheck short as the downstairs was at capacity and they needed to let people upstairs so they could get more people in. Needless to say, everyone was ready to rock by 9. As expected being a school night and all, things tailed off towards the end of the second set, but thanks to the dedicated folks who kept rocking right up until midnight.  Check out some pics from Jim "The Picture Guy" Comfort on our media page!
  • We were back at the Sunningdale Golf Club on the 22nd. Unfortunately, The Fabulous Watermans weren't rocking with us this time around, but we had a great time nonetheless. Check out some footage from the show over on our media page!
  • We had another great weekend at Kelley's Row to wrap up the month. Friday night was comfortably full and Saturday was packed to the gills. The Volta Energy Vodka folks were in the house doing a promo and though we're not allowed to drink we did get some cool swag.  The Volta Girls were excited about possibly seeing us at future shows in Maine.  Thanks!  It was good seeing our old pal and former Kelley's bartender Jamie Stevens out, though he didn't arrive early enough to sing JUMP with us.  Maybe next time...

NEW TUNES We've been doing some recording at our last few shows and have some new live recordings featured on our player here at GAZPACHOonline.com and at our myspace page.  This month we have Corey Hart's I Wear My Sunglasses At Night, Queen and David Bowie's Under Pressure and Faith No More's EPIC.  Check 'em out!

SPEAKING OF MAINE We'll be be making our first appearance at Bubba's Sulky Lounge in Portland, ME on the 12th.  Please come out and help us look good.  The club looks pretty fun with a light-up floor!  How cool is that!?!?

LAST CALL UNTIL FALL AT KELLEY'S ROW April 25th and 26th will be our last shows at Kelley's Row until we pick things back up in September. Kelley's will be focusing on their deck business over the summer and we're looking forward to getting out into some new rooms. To help us go out in style, Kelley's will be having an 80's Theme night on our Saturday Show. There will be prizes and specials. Come dressed for 80's excess and walk out a winner!!!

LOOKING AHEAD TO MAY
  Come out and help a good cause at the Rochester Elks on May 2nd.  We'll be performing as part of the American Cancer Society Relay for Life Benefit.  On the 9th, we're back to Newburyport for a night at Michael's Harborside.  Michael's is a very cool club and not too far from the Seacoast.  We'll be in Dover on the last Saturday of the month, performing at the Dover Brickhouse.
 


MARCH

Things picked back up after our January post-holiday recovery!  Here's a look back at February:

  • We made our first trip into Boston for a show at the Felt Club. Located in the heart of downtown, the club was pretty high end. Multi-levels of bar with VIP rooms and everything. We brought out the rock to the appreciative crowd that was there, but apparently the scene in Boston doesn't really get going until later. About the time we were wrapping things up at 11 in the pouring rain, the bulk of the crowd began to filter in. Oh well, guess that's the big city for you. Hope they liked the DJ...
  • On the 2nd we appeared at the Rochester Elks as part of the benefit for David "Deli" Lane.  Thanks to everyone who made it out for a great cause.  The Elks was rockin' and it was great to see a lot of our Rochester friends who haven't been out since the demise of Big Head's.
  • We wrapped up the first weekend of the month with another killer show at the Hampton Beach Casino as part of the Penguin Plunge for NH Special Olympics. It's a huge treat to play the Casino, even moreso when it's packed full of people!  The event was a big success as usual, raising well over $500,000. Congratulations to all involved! We worked out a much better set-up arrangement this year, giving us the use of the entire stage for our show. Chris, Gary and Ralph had lots of room to roam and interact with the crowd. The only bummer was Renee had been sick all weekend and couldn't make it out. However, as a special bonus we did get our friend Danielle from the WOKQ Morning Crew up on stage to rock out Hit Me With Your Best Shot. We met a lot of great people this year, thanks as always to everyone who came up to say hello.  The funniest moment of the day came when an old friend of Ralph's who runs the catering for the event came up to let us know that one of his crew told him "this band was a lot better than the one they had last year!"  Check out a video (shot from Jay's "keyboard cam") on our media page!
  • The Inaugural Valentine's Gala at the Governor's Inn in Rochester was a huge success. We weren't sure what to expect, but the room was packed and so was the dance floor all night long.  Success!
  • Thanks to everyone who braved the snow to make it out to the Jett Sett show at the Dover Brickhouse!
  • It was great to get back to the Redhook Brewery on the 21st for the WHEB Mountain Madness show. The Redhook was packed from about the time we showed up to load-in and didn't let up until the last note sounded at 10PM. We had a great time rocking with Baker, Stoney and the folks from WHEB,  They've got some pics up on their site here.
  • Happy Birthday to our friend Kelly, who celebrated the big 3-0 on the 23rd. We played her surprise party at the Rollinsford Legion and had a blast.
  • We wrapped up the month with a show four years in the making! It was Leap Year Weekend and Kelley's Row was on fire. Both shows sold out well in advance, thanks a lot to the folks that stuck it out in line to get in.  We're already looking forward to next month!

STOP THIEF! Someone broke into our van and made off with Gary's blue G&L Invader Guitar as well as his bag of GAZPACHO clothing. Anyone with connections to any local music store please let them know, we'd love to see it back.

ST. PATTY'S DAY It's an Irish tradition right up there with Guinness and Kissing the Blarney Stone: The GAZPACHO St. Patrick's Day Show at the Dover Brickhouse. Yeah it's a Monday, but suck it up and come help us rock the big stage. The last two years have been out of control, let's keep it going!


 


FEBRUARY

We took it easy in January to recover from the holiday madness, here's a peek:

  • We started off 2008 with a birthday party at the Dover Legion.  Just when we think we've played just about every possible local venue, a new location pops up!  We had a great time!
  • Our Weekend at Kelley's Row debut was a huge hit.  Both nights were sold out with great crowds!  It was nice to see a lot of old faces out there!  Happy Birthday to Tina Mitchell, we got to pull out Sweet  Caroline for her big day!  The Tripod stunned everyone in the room with a costume change in the middle of Separate Ways to full on 80's dress.  Spandex and everything.  NICE!

Back to business in February, starting off with a new Boston club. On the first we'll be at Felt Boston, which appears to be one of the hot-spots of Beantown. Check out their website, it's a pretty swanky looking place (there's even a dress code to get in...) with a lot of celeb sitings. They do 80's Fridays and we're looking forward to rocking Boston. We've done a Boston cruise before, but never an actual Boston Club show. It's a quickie, 9-11PM and then they have a DJ spinning 80's music afterwards. As always, with a new room we'd love to see some familiar faces.

Benefit February You have several opportunites to help us help out some great causes this month: On the 2nd we'll be appearing at the Rochester Elks, playing a benefit show for our friend David "Deli" Lane. He's fighting cancer at the moment and his family and friends have put this show together for him. The Rochester Elks is a very cool room with a huge stage and dance floor, we were there in January for our friends Aaron and Terry's wedding reception. There will be food, cash bar and raffle prizes. On the 3rd we're excited to be back at the Penguin Plunge for NH Special Olympics. Though this is a private function we're very excited to be rocking the Casino again. Lastly, we'll be appearing at the Valentine's Day Gala at the Governor Sawyer Inn in Rochester. $35 gets you dining, dancing and us!

A Show Four Years in the Making We couldn't resist the chance to play on a leap year, so we're bumping our Kelley's Weekend back one week. We'll be at the Row on Leap Year, Friday, February 29th and March 1st (so technically it is still partially the last weekend of the month...). Come out and make the most of it. There won't be another chance to party on February 29th for four long years!

We're back at it with new tunes, in case you missed it:
Danger Zone - Kenny Loggins
(I Just Died) In Your Arms Tonight - Cutting Crew
The Warrior - Scandal
Turning Japanese - The Vapors
You Spin Me Right Round - Dead or Alive
 


JANUARY

Happy New Year everyone! Here's a look back at the Holiday Season:

  • We kicked off December with a 50th birthday party at the Orchard Street Chop Shop in Dover. We may have ruined the dinners of some of the folks downstairs in the restaurant, but upstairs the party was so rocking they forgot to cut the birthday cake!
  • Next up was the holiday party for the the Margarita's Corporate team at the Stage Neck Inn in York, ME. It took them a couple of songs to get going, but despite it being a Tuesday night they tore the place up right through the encore. It was a great start to our run of corporate Holiday Parties. Thanks as well for the gift certificates. We're looking forward to some great Mexican food soon!
  • We followed up the Margarita's party with two shows at the Wentworth By The Sea Hotel for our friends Pixel Media and Seaview Technologies. We had a great time rocking the Wentworth for both parties, thanks for having us out! Thanks as well to the Wentworth staff who let us "borrow" some Wentworth staff coats for the Seaview second set!
  • In between the Wentworth shows we were honored to provide the  entertainment for our friends Aaron and Terry's hometown wedding reception. The official wedding was in Key West, FL, but this was the big to-do for their families and friends who couldn't make the trip. It was a great night, one we were happy to be a part of. Once again, our congratulations and best wishes to Aaron and Terry!
  • We wrapped up December at Kelley's Row on the 29th and New Year's Eve. Folks were a bit distracted while the Pats were wrapping up their perfect 16-0 season on the 29th, but once that bit of business was taken care of, things were rocking indeed! New Year's Eve was an absolute BLAST, probably our best Kelley's New Year's to date. The bar was packed and ready to rock from the get-go. We even had people swing in who had gone to other New Year's Eve Parties around the Seacoast and found them lacking! We learned that beads can be made into underwear (we're not kidding), and it's possible to buy a bottle of champagne from the bar on New Year's Eve. Wow.

To wrap up the holidays, this year's award for the best Christmas card goes out to our friends The Tripod. You may recognize them as the Vikings from our Halloween shows. Freaking brilliant!

Weekend at Kelley's Row Don't forget, we'll be appearing at Kelley's Row both Friday and Saturday at the end of the month! We'll pull tunes from our extensive song list, so if you can make it out you'll get a different show both nights. We hope to see you there!

Back to the Beach We're are extremely honored to have been asked back to the Hampton Beach Casino to provide the entertainment for this year's Penguin Plunge for Special Olympics on Sunday, February 3rd! Last year's event was a lot of fun and we're excited to be back! This is a private event, but if you're interested in helping out we're putting together a TEAM GAZPACHO for the event. Email Gary at raytone@comcast.net for information. You can also visit Special Olympics of NH here. It truly is a great cause.

Missed some old news??? Never fear, you can catch up on the year that was here: GAZPACHO 2007 RECAP.

Return to Sender We're shutting down the electronic mailing list for the time being, too many junk emails coming in and bad email addresses getting returned, not to mention the massive effort required to keep it up to date. Word on the street is most people are keeping up with us via the website and our myspace anyway. And to think, ten years ago we thought having an electronic mailing list was pretty state-of-the-art...

GAZPACHO CORPORATE We get a ton of questions about if we play private functions, corporate parties, weddings and the like, so we've put up a GAZPACHO CORPORATE page to plug that aspect of our band.

We are still in the process of filling the rest of our winter schedule, so be sure to keep checking in here or at our myspace home for our latest shows. We have a bit of a lull in January to recover after the holidays and we'll be working on new tunes for the new year.  Hope to see you out!

1996-2000
No show records exist and we didn't have a web site at the time. Chris and Gary performed as GAZPACHO at a few hoot nights early in the summer of 1996, however, our first official show occurred in the basement at Kelley's Row in July or
August of 1996.
