INL4 - Gold Stars Are For Suckers - photos

We had another really good Industry Night Live show last Monday at the Cobalt.  There was a keenly receptive and stalwart audience, in spite the snow!  Gold Stars Are For Suckers put on one of the best shows to date, and played a lot of new material from their forthcoming EP.  Here are a couple stills taken from editing the footage we got on the night.  I think everyone would agree that Gold Star's silent member, dancer Voodoo Pixie, was a highlight of the show!  It looks and sounds great, very excited to share the next episode.  We are just putting the interview together for the final cut as I write. 








Of course Hatch Benedict conducted the entire interview in Rich's well worn wrestlers mask, which will be revealed in the final episode.  File Gold Stars' under Party Rock

Thanks to Isabelle Dunlop and Brad Tidswell for their camera work, and of course big thanks to our host Hatch Benedict, who brought a few serious questions to the band on the night, in addition to having them re-enact a portion of their new video "Party Eagle"


Don't miss out next show which features Mr. Darren Paris on bass, the astoundingly funky Dreaded Soul.  Monday Dec 16th at the Cobalt.   Your $5 donation also gets you a drink ticket.  So don't miss it!   Click here for the FB event.

Industry Night Ep3: Phoenix Thunderbird


Industry Night Live (Episode 3) featuring musical guests Phoenix Thunderbird with host Hatch Benedict.

The band performed a blistering showcase last week on November 25th at the Cobalt Cabaret.  In this episode Hatch explores the roots of Phoenix Thunderbird's sound, and discovers not one of them watched the Cosby show back in the 80's.  In addition to segments from the live set, they also perform their song "Idle Thoughts" at the 4 minute mark.  A very fun night and certainly our best video to date.
