we're back after Mo's solo tour.. our first Hole-In-The-Wall gig ever.. well technically, since we have played many holes inda walls..

Tuesday Nov 14 (GG at midnight, with J Moline and The Meshbanes earlier..)

we've played just about every venue in town, but not this classic watering hole on the drag...our first gig in a while too, as Mo has been on his solo tour for the past couple a months.. Tuesday Nov 14th.. also on the lineup - the stylings of J Moline and the Meshbanes of Matt Meshbane fame.. should be fun.

GG's very own Marvin Pair has been receiving a lot of great press lately. If you don't know- Mo's been livin the dream as a full-time musician the past couple years, Splitting his time between teaching music, performing solo and rocking out with no less than 3 working bands. Its great to see more people take notice of his unique approach and boundless energy.

A Brief Look at the Musician That Is Mo Pair

Austin musician Mo Pair has disturbing dreams about unusual rituals. These dreams, which the singer/songwriter vividly describes in his online journal and blog entries, could very well be side effects from all of the Native American music by which he’s so intrigued.

Mo Pair fancies himself an educator. When he's not teaching kids to sing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat," he's teaching adults about Pink Floyd's spacey, pre-"Dark Side of the Moon" tunes.
