The 2007 version of the ‘Taste Fernie' went off as planned on September 15th. In reality, the show really began months before when Troy and the band began discussing the show – effects, songs, and so on. The summer season of playing and touring seems to have come to a successful end with ‘the taste’ show being the closing show of the season.
‘The taste’ was a full on visual treat for the crowd. Jim the lighting guy brought LED flood and spotlights, lasers, and some flashing mirror effects as well as a huge rear projection screen for the various videos Troy had created for the show. Two smoke machines, confetti and many confetti bombs rounded out the visual cornucopia of thrills.
Stage set-up began about 8:15 and the sound check was underway about 8:50. The sound guy had serious problems getting sound onto the stage monitors so the show didn’t start until 9:15 or even later. As a result, the band shortened up the set so that the ‘B Movies’ could begin their show on time.
As the video of toy soldiers began to a classical piece of music, the band went out wearing flashing glasses carrying 6’ balloons. After tossing the balloons into the crowd they took the stage and jumped into ‘3 – Eyed Farm Boy’ while the confetti machine ran at full tilt.
‘Zombies in the Snow’ came next, followed by ‘Sea Monkey Drug Binge’ with lasers and smoke. ‘George Forman Grill’ rocked with Mike on keyboards. ‘Mud Bound in the Prairies’ was followed by ‘Viva Las Vegas’ with smoke and lasers. It was great. ‘Utopia’ and ‘War Pigs’ rounded out the show.
The B-Movies played a hot set, and they were well worht listening too.
