Lionel, do we have to play acoustic?

[In the beginning...]

Artist 1: "Lionel, can my band play with a drumkit?"
Lionel: "No. It's an acoustic show"

Artist 2: "Lionel, can we play as a full band with distortion and big stacks?"
Lionel: "No. It's an acoustic show"

Artist 3: "Lionel, do we always have to play acoustic at The Limelight?"
Lionel: "YES!!! g@wd-dammit! It's an acoustic show!!!"

[9 months later...]

Artist 72: "Lionel, can my band play as a band, like so we can rock out?"
Lionel: "OOokkkkkaaayyYYy!!! FINE! You win, Ill put on an show that's not just acoustic."

[Present day...]

And so it is folks, that I got terribly tired of saying 'no' to acts that would like to play our shows as a band. Therefore, for its second iteration, we have evolved our quarterly Sunday show into a mixed format mini-festival celebrating local independent Melbourne music! If it works out well and you guys, the live music listening audience, like the show then we will keep it that way for all future Sunday Sessions!

That's right! On the 2nd August 2009, Sunday Sessions "Mid-Winter Warmer" will have full bands rocking out on stage and acoustic solo & duos acts crooning in the front bar! With the best of both worlds, it's not one you can miss! Also, I shall at this point drop a shameless plug that my band 'Nobody' is playing!! Sweet!
