Two DUBB shows for the price of one

The Disciples of Ursula Big Band, Elvi's band, has two shows this month.

The first one is a mini-show at which they'll only perform five or six songs. It's the second round of an international band competition called Emergenza. The goal there is to get as many people to show up and vote for the Disciples as possible.

This first show takes place March 17 at Le Petit Campus, 57 Prince Arthur. Showtime is 7:30 pm. The band goes on stage first that night, so you can stay for the few songs, vote for them, and leave. If you like death metal, you should stay for the other bands, too.

The Disciples play a full show the next weekend, on March 25 at La Place à Côté, 4571 Papineau, corner Mont-Royal. A band called Caloon Saloon will open for the Disciples at 8:00 pm. Figure the Disciples will go on at 9:00 pm or so.

The band is selling one ticket for both shows: $12 if you buy one from Elvi (or me) or $18 at the door. It would be great if everyone could make both events, but you oughta take at least one show in.

I'm trying to get Elana from Thunderdome to show up. Feel free to forward this to anyone you think has an appreciation for the big-band sound.
