Tonight was a showing of the epic lo-fi sci-fi, Quadman. On May 5, 2001 the film was premiered at the Red Rooster Coffee House. Junebug performed at the pre-party and were given VIP status, arriving in the limo and passing the paparazzi on the red carpet.

Tonight was the first time in a long time that it has had a public showing, and Junebug was asked to open for the film again this time around. (Also Fed By Doris played a reunion. Visit their MySpace for more.)

All the songs except one from the 2001 set were played tonight. We brought back the past with our Poison intro to "Next Episode", but reminded them it was 2006 with our "Inspector Gadget / Hall of the Mountain King" interlude in the middle.

We even played "Fargo Gypsy Girl" tonight for the first time since 2001. At the Quadman premiere, Bruce Likness actually sang the song with us, so tonight we played the song in his honor and dedicated it to him. We had two versions of it before; the acoustic version and rock version. Now it seems we've created a new sort of bossa version. I think it was fine. It was fun.

We performed "The Cacophony Trilogy" tonight for our old high school friend Peter. He hasn't seen us for a long time. He wasn't actually there tonight, but he was in spirit. "The Cacophony Trilogy" was always one of his favorite things that we did, so we figured tonight we'd send it out to him.

And to let history repeat itself, we ended our set tonight with "Jumpstart My Rocket", just like at the Premiere. And it makes sense. It's a movie about aliens, isn't it?

Good times.
