Well folks, here it is. Pomme de Terrible’s Potato Planet…..Part 2!! Pomme de Terrible is still up to no good and it’s up to Trev and The Canadian Potato to thwart his selfish and greedy plans. Eating locally grown, organic food is not only good for your personal health, but it’s good for the health of your local community and economy as well. Supporting local farmers helps cut down on the burning of fossil fuels, something that Pomme de Terrible just doesn’t care about. He wants everyone to eat his potatoes and he is prepared to do anything in order to make that happen.

Potato Queen!!

Has the metal queen shed her metallic tiara for one of a more organic nature? Could she be the new Potato Queen? Anything is possible on The Gogo Bonkers Show. The Canadian Potato has always wanted to meet Lee Aaron. Ever since he was a young spudlet, he would stand in front of the mirror and sing along to ‘Metal Queen‘ but swapping out the word ‘metal’ for ‘potato’. Yessiree bobby, so when he found out that his potato idol was going to be performing at Sturgis North in Salmon Arm, BC, Canada, The Canadian Potato set out on a journey to get his potato staff potato signed by the one and only, Lee Aaron. Little did he know that Pommee de Terrible was plotting his own journey; a journey that would leave a long trail of potato chips……….

Holy Cow, It’s Kamloops!!

Kamloops City, Holy Cow, holy cow, holy cow, it’s Kamloooooooooops!

Well, boy did we ever kick off our tour with a bang this summer.

First stop? Kamloops City. That’s right. You heard us. Kamloops. Heart of the Interior, some say. It also happens to be our hometown. Iain and I both grew up and learned to first play and perform music there. In fact, we used to be in a thrash metal band called, SADISTIC HUMOR, and we shredded up many a stage in the ‘ole Loops including The IOOF Hall, The Legion, The Eagles Hall, The Cell Block Roller Rink to name a few. Those sure were the good old days.

But alas, we have given up metal for something new and very different: Gogo Bonkers.

This summer proved to be our busiest yet and we were very stoked to be able to travel around beautiful BC this summer. My daughter Zohra decided to come with us on our long 3 week run (which is nothing compared to Maria In The Shower-they did an 11 week run) and boy did we ever have a blast. Our first destination was Sturgis North and, as we later discovered, it was also the destination of Pomme de Terrible!!

Anyway, here’s a quick video of us rolling into Kamloops on the first day of our tour. Next stop: Salmon Arm!!

Sturgis North

So you might be asking yourself how does a children’s band get booked at a biker festival featuring a bunch of hard rock bands from the 70s and 80s? Well, let’s just say we’ve got some connections. Yes, it’s true. Gogo Bonkers will be kicking off their summer tour at Sturgis North in Salmon Arm, BC. We’ll be performing 5 shows from the 13th to the 17th at the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds so if you know anyone with kids in the area, let them know that we’ll be there.

Some of the featured headliners are listed below:

John Kay & Steppenwolf • Nazareth • Eric Burdon & The Animals
Dr. Hook Featuring Ray Sawyer • Kenny Shields & Street Heart
Pat Travers Band • Jerry Doucette • Doug & The Slugs
Harlequin • Headpins • Helix • Kick Axe • Lee Aaron
Powder Blues • Prism

It’s going to be a good old fashioned rock festival so be sure to arrive with nostalgia smeared all over your sleeves.

Gogo Bonkers will be performing every day at the Salmon Arm Fairground from 11am to 11:45am so if you’ve got kids or know anyone with kids, bring ‘em on over. It’ll be our last stop in Salmon Arm for a while.

Gogo Bonkers for Gogo Bonkers @ Sturgis North from July 13-17th.

Next Stop: Kispiox!

North Country Fair A Success

gogo bonkers — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 22:53:02 +0000

Well, we did it. Maggie and I traveled all the way from Vancouver to Driftpile, Alberta to perform at The North Country Fair and what a trip. On our way there we encountered Angry Arnold, who was also on his way to The North Country Fair in search of some potato pancakes. Yes, we thought it a tad odd that he was walking all the way to northern Alberta for his favourite breakfast, but apparently he really does love potato pancakes with maple syrup.

Boy did it ever rain while we were there but we did not allow this to dampen our spirits and we managed to catch an incredible amount of fantastic live music while we were there. Bands like Oka, Maria In The Shower, Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra, and The United Steelworkers of Montreal rocked the stage hard and kept fans jumping up and down and dancing despite the rain and the mud.

I am happy to say that my new partnership with The Lost And Found Puppet Company has proven to be quite satisfying and successful and we look forward to doing more shows together in the future. For now, please enjoy this video we shot of our adventures as we kick off a fun filled summer of festival touring!
