 MAY 15th, 2010
1 p.m. to 10 p.m.
THE LOWDOWN:
Come for a day of good times and quality local music. The event will be BYOB. Feel free to bring a grill and a tent if you plan on camping out as that is not just welcome, but encouraged.
Later in the evening there will be a bonfire.
The reason for doing this is to give all the people graduating (and even those who aren’t) a ridiculous end of the semester event to unwind with.
Entrance: $5 (to cover expenses like the Port-o-John, PA, stage, and gas for bands). Carload Discount is $15 for any car with 5 people.
There will be a tip bucket for bands since they are doing this because they love music and events with some actual soul. And what better way to support local (and touring!) music than to tip them for their performance?
There will also be a limited quantity of Mallettstock shirts. The design is courtesy of Colin Patrick Charles a.k.a. Paddy.
Unknown Arts Studio (www.unknownartstudio.com) will be providing those shirts and slinging some of their own designs. So if you want to get some new shirts, keep that in mind.
They have a big backyard, but car pooling or alternative transportation would be appreciated.

Has the sunshine sprouted your funky party dancing seeds yet? Have your hips been set in motion by the smell of spring!?
KEGS and the MONDO GECKO?? YAAAAAAAAA
You know what’s funny? Springfest is funny. WANNA SEE A REAL CONCERT??????
Mondo Gecko returns to Burlington SATURDAY to melt your funky face into a funky puddle at 130 East Ave.
That’s right–they’re the ones who raged Slade Hall this past Halloween and they’re coming back for YOU. This party will be the end of their first three night run with bassist Matt Drummey… and you do not want to miss it!
The madness starts when the sun goes down. Don’t come without your dancin’ shoes.

“…a great new band from Boston called Mondo Gecko. This band boasts five members…who combine that technical skill with a distinct sense of humor that Phish would have been envious of in their early days. …The jams are structured but allow for a lot of freedom. These guys are skilled enough not to get lost in the ethereal when they improvise. …Mondo Gecko produces a dynamic, fun live show. These guys need to make a swath through the heartland and hit the summer jam festivals. There are fans out there waiting for them.”
-Janie Franz, Skope Magazine
$5/person ’cause these fine musicians are coming all the way from Boston and travelling isn’t free.

Mondo Gecko has an amazing opportunity to play at The Big Up festival, August 5th,6th & 7th in Ghent, NY. This thing will be HUGE for us: there are a ton of great bands (including RAQ, and our buddies The Breakfast and Dopapod) and it will be by far the biggest event we will have played. See below for how to help us out!
ABOUT THE VENUE
 The Big Up – 2010, will be held at Sunnyview Farm, a gorgeous 1500 acre estate located in Ghent, NY. The venue boasts multiple indoor and outdoor production spaces, including two main indoor rooms and big open fields. Sunnyview Farm is easily accessible from a number of major Northeastern cities:
Albany, NY (30 minutes) New York City, NY (2 hours) Northampton, MA (1 hour) Springfield, MA(1 hour) Boston, MA (2.5 hours) Hartford, CT(1 hour). See the directions.
Sunnyview Farm has played host to rock’n’roll royalty over the years including John Lennon, Willie Nelson, and Levon Helm. Under new management, Sunnyview Farm re-emerged in 2009 as a premier indoor/outdoor Northeast music, arts, and culture venue two inaugural events: Let It Roll and its pre-party, Lost Weekend in Shangri-La. These two events welcomed over 1,000 guests and received rave reviews from artists and festivalgoers alike, usually noting the impeccable hospitality and intimate setting “not found at any other festival”. 2009 was Shireworks Productions’ trial run for a larger and more articulated festival at Sunnyview Farm in the summer of 2010.

Come party down with us and Blue Mountain Bustdown (formerly Strange Brew)… it’s their CD release party for their debut album “Paper War”. Cups are $5, but bring an extra $10 for a CD or you will look like a jerk. Gecko hits the basement stage around 9:45PM. Sure to be a rager, and sure to be some guest sit ins happening both ways. ALL GECKO FAM ARE WELCOME!
P.S. Walley’s still in town, so he’ll be there rocking out with us!

The weather is amazing, and tonight’s show shouldn’t be any different. The Breakfast will probably play two sets, and we’ve got some special treats in store for you all as well as a new tune or two!
Some bad news though:
Walley’s moving back down south at the end of the month… so this will be our last show with him (at least for a while). He’s bummed, we’re bummed, you’re probably bummed, but we’re all gonna make the best of it and play our hearts out tonight! We’re playing a special tune or two to celebrate his time with Mondo Gecko, so bring your dancing shoes and get ready to get funky! Obviously Mondo Gecko will be a different band with any other bassist, but as always, MG will keep on truckin’ and hope you’ll hang with us as we morph into some new, as of yet undiscovered species of masive lizard.
