Manouche Jazz makes for great entertaining

The Lost Fingers


3 guys out of Québec City (OK, maybe I should mention Mikaloff originally from the west coast) playing acoustic guitars and bass are putting on an incredibly fun show at L'Etoile, the new 1000 seat theatre hall at 10-30 complex in Brossard (Qc.)

You should hear their live version of AC/DC's Thunderstruck introduction, it is absolutely hilarious. Not to mention very inventive sidetracking and getting back to the original tune, pretty smart and fun stuff. Byron "Maiden"Mykaloff (last one on the right) proves to be a very good showman and responsible for getting audiences up and running. Sound quality top notch and tickets are a steal too at the rate theiy're going for.


There must be a reason behind their platinum album certification for Lost in the 80s right ?

"Dr." prefix used to spruce up Christian Roberge's introduction in between 2 solos must probably originate in his Quebec Conservatory of Music credentials, that's actually where the two met (Roberge and Mikaloff).

There's really so much talent around here which might get you the wrong idea that snow and freezing temperatures are actually fostering some misterious artistic development quality. One can only speculate about that so much while one thing is sure, obvious and quite sad: global warming definitely fails to reach the Saint-Laurent grounds :)
