News ... What news? ... Whiner OLDER news
Environment Days June 7
Another day for East York's environment. The Curries, Dave and KEITH (separately and as Whiners) handled the music soundtrack. This was our 4th year. The weather was hot but there was a very nice breeze too so it was a great day.
Melanie Joy Songwriter night gig 2008
KEITH's gig went really well. thanks again Whienr people for your support. You can hear the gig now here on the Whiners web and KEITH has some blog stuff about it at The Whiners Wiki.
Shannon Café Taste gig 2008
Shannon's gig was postponed. We'll let you know when she may be performing out live as a solo again.
Whiner history
Some of Whiner v.1.0's videos are being posted on YouTube
and you can check out a few of our classic covers as well. KEITH says:
"it's interesting to see how much out of the performing shell
I've come - I actually move a bit on stage now. I'll leave any other
editorial comments at the door."
The big event December 2007
The 6th annual Whiners Variety Night has come and gone. Thanks to all who came out and listened to the band. We've put up our opening theme song - the Whiner's Lament for you to have another listen and some pics too.
KEITH Café Taste gig November 2007
Not to be confused with Shannon's defered January 24, 2008 gig, KEITH had a great set at the Café Taste on Thursday, November 8. This was a part of Lesley Young's Acoustic songwriters night. We recorded it (Shannon guested as well) and may make this into a CD release to demo what's happening these days and as an archive thing for the tour. 7 songs 5 bucks (something like that). Thanks to all who came and shouted out with the "whoo whoos". Listen to the full gig.
Environment Day gig June 2, 2007
Our June 2 line up was: The Whiners, Dave solo sets, The Curries
and the return of the Mayberries with Ed Lee.
Jamie and KEITH were Whiners for this one but we got a few in with
Dave. We all missed Shannon who couldn't make the gig but the day
went fantastic! The best yet. We're at three years and counting for
this special event.
I've added sound clips and pics from the show.
Fat's Feature kicked off tour March 2007
Fat's March 7 "in business since 1957" kick off gig went well. Thanks to Jeff, Derek and Shannon for helping out. Pics on the gallery 1 pics page.
Speaking of Fat Alberts
KEITH was back into Fat's for 2007 (showing up less often in 2008). That was most every Wednesday night as part of the open stage. It's trial and error time with all the gear! Fat's winds up at the end of June until September for their summer break.
KEITH steps back in time to reproduce an article for HOT WACKS collectables ...
FLoyd and the Beatles?
They have a lot in common. You can check out what
I had to say about that several years ago.

I'm maintaining info at Myspace.com/whiners. If you want to go there and sign up as a friend that would be nice - just to get some action happening. I've added some music there as well.
2006 and the 5th Annual Whiners Variety Night ... a happening!
Whiners v.2.0 did more than riff on the Beatles' "Rubber Soul" ... "Revolver" songs, we pushed the envelope a bit with a lot of other stuff including a light show spectacular (well almost).
Check the pics page for more. Thanks everyone for coming and making 5 worthwhile for us. Here's a brief history of the infamous Variety Nights. Read how you can get on the list of Whiner friends.
