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.

***UPDATE – NO COVER!!!! FREE!!!! (Donations excepted!)***
Saturday, May 9th we are throwing a Gecko Graduation Party in downtown Boston at Kennedy’s! Brad, Luke, and Eric are all graduating in May, and we intend to party down and celebrate Gecko style!
Free and all ages! Three sets of MONDO GECKO!!!!!
Also, some bad news: Due to the rough economy, Walley’s had a really hard time making ends meet up here in Boston, and after this show he’ll be moving back to South Carolina. This is by no means the end of Gecko with Walley, but it will be our last show with him for a while… so this is also a GOING AWAY PARTY FOR WALLEY! Come out and wish him well!

I. Late Night. WIM. Walking on the Sun*#. Cocaine Blues# > Shakedown Street > Wounded Dreamer**.
* – Debut
# – With Brad on mandolin.
** – With Late Night tease.
First public show with Andrew Walley on Bass.
With Mad Sweet Pangs, Frit, and Dear Havanah
The band’s largest show to date, TT’s was glowing with energy. Mondo Gecko originally met Mad Sweet Pangs through JamBands.com and decided that we must do a show together. We tagged in our old buddies Frit and Pangs brought along Dear Havanah… the chemistry between the four bands and the fans made for an amazing show. All four bands played amazing sets, with Johnny Duke of Dear Havanah sitting in with Frit and Mad Sweet Pangs.
Gecko’s set was extra special and unique: This was the first public show with Walley on Bass, and I think everyone noticed… the playing and communication is at its highest level yet! Also, Eric had a case of bronchitis and was unable to sing; this led to an even higher dose of improvisation that usual, and the extended version of WIM (with Luke singing Eric’s vocals during the “Fractal Paintbrush” section) was spot on and full of energy, despite the band having dropped the ” Take it for what means” ending section of the song.
Due to a malfunctioning recording device, no audio of this show is available. 
(Attendance: 176, Capacity: 300)
