Yacht Rock in Cabo
The Yacht Rock Revue traveled to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico last week for a private gig at the One and Only Palmilla Resort. Early in the week Bencoo sat in at Cabo Wabo (Sammy Hagar’s club) with the Dudes from the ‘8os – guys from Billy Joel, Starship, Wet Willy, Sheryl Crow, Survivor, and (of course) .38 Special.
Then the rest of us arrived, ate some tacos, drank a bottle of tequila and a case of beer, and lost a man on a beer run. The man in question wandered down a highway, explored a hospital and taco stand, e-mailed for help from an internet cafe, and passed out on a bus. Back in the main group, 3 ginormous margaritas resulted in another man down – passed out at the dinner table. We proceeded to Cabo Wabo, drank more tequila, and cage danced. After some “negotiations” on the street, we proceeded home where one of us confused his suitcase with the bathroom. Rock band cliches: ACHIEVED. Oh, and we played a fun gig the next night after lounging on the beach all day.
This week we’re bearing down on lots of Beatles tunes for the debut of Please PleaseRock Me next week. We’re at Smith’s Olde Bar (TICKETS) on Wednesday, February 17. It’s a nice early weeknight show – doors at 8 and music at 9. We’re doing big hits and deep cuts, famous Beatles covers and our own versions, solo Beatles material and bands they played with. More on that later. For now, behold the glory of Cabo…
