All-Night Movers


All-Night Movers played at Jeff Pounds' house. Jeff made crawfish etouffée.

All-Night Movers played a show at Sara Essex's studio. It was downtown on Carondelet Street.

All-Night Movers played El Matador with Zoom. I broke too many guitar strings.

All-Night Movers played to a crowded house at the Circle Bar. This is probably the apotheosis of my New Orleans social life, back when I had one.

All-Night Movers played at Jonathan Ferrara Gallery on Carondelet Street. It was insanely loud inside, so we took the show out to the sidewalk.

All-Night Movers played the Mermaid Hallowe'en Masked Ball as ELO. Slade got us matching Jeff Lynne wigs and shades.

All-Night Movers played at El Matador with Mondo Topless. We went out for fried chicken after.

All-Night Movers played Circle Bar. I jumped on a patron who somehow fell asleep. Everybody said the guy was some sort of mafioso and I should expect retribution.

All-Night Movers played the Circle Bar in Santa hats, in January. Looks like we had some festive and timely headwear.

All-Night Movers started a Southern tour. We started in Athens but we didn't actually play there.

All-Night Movers played the Star Bar in Atlanta. We played with a band called The A-Sides.

All-Night Movers played the Pilot Light in Knoxville. A comedian opened the show.

All-Night Movers played a house party in Huntsville, Alabama. At a house in a trailer park.

All-Night Movers played at Jeff Pounds' house again. It was Jeff's birthday I think.

All-Night Movers played at El Matador with Demolition Doll Rods. Dan Kroha (ex-Gories!) had a nifty "diddley-bow". I had forgotten we played on this show.

All-Night Movers played the Hi-Ho Lounge with the Bangs and Original 3. The Bangs had a song called "Dirty Knives".

Ka-Nives and All-Night Movers played at Cafe Cottage in Lafayette, Louisiana. This was our first time meeting the Ka-Nives. The club was a coffee shop but they paid us in beer (Killian's Red).

All-Night Movers played the Hi-Ho Lounge with the Ka-Nives. The Ka-Nives said New Orleans shows were stiff and nobody came. This time they were right.

Slade and I flew to New York. Starting our first and only New York tour.

All-Night Movers played 219 Flamingo with The Demands. I never heard of the club before or since.

All-Night Movers played at Lakeside Lounge. Continuing the tradition of playing on my birthday.

All-Night Movers played at Hank's Saloon in Brooklyn. Very fun show and we recorded it.

Slade and I flew to New Orleans on Mardi Gras. Concluding our first and only New York tour.

All-Night Movers played at Mermaid Lounge with Thee Shams and Cary Hudson. I definitely remember the show.

All-Night Movers played at El Matador with Scott Carpenter and the Real McCoys. These were our friends from Buffalo.

All-Night Movers played Sound Exchange in Houston with Ka-Nives. We were fine. Ka-Nives were over the top.

All-Night Movers played Beerland in Austin with Ka-Nives. My first experience wtih Texas' blue laws.

All-Night Movers played El Matador with The Detonations. I went walking around Decatur Street before the show.

All-Night Movers played at Dixie Taverne with Preacher's Kids and Original 3. I was just a huge fan of Preacher's Kids. Wish I could have been in the band.

All-Night Movers played the Hi-Ho Lounge with Dex Romweber Duo. A huge handful of people came.

All-Night movers got a song on a compilation.

All-Night Movers played the Emerald Bar in St. Pete. I guess this was the last All-Night Movers gig.

Slade's Hog. Slade Nash is the drummer in All-Night Movers. He is like a drum machine that can mix drinks. Also an incredible mensch. Drummer jokes don't apply to him.

Went to Slade and Amara's wedding, and DJed the reception. The whole thing was somewhat interrupted by what you might call a flash flood.
