True Stories Report / October 13 at the Riviera Supper Club - Special Guests

With True Stories drummer Greg Smith on tour with Falling Doves, guest drummer Nico Peters of the Baja Bugs sat in with the band for two sets plus at the Riviera Supper Club on October 13. The band only played a handful of originals since Nico is new, but a lot of new covers made their way into the regular set list including The Monkees "Saturday's Child," Donovan's "Sunshine Superman," The Beatles "I'll Cry Instead." There was also some light comedy with an interactive version of "The Gilligan's Island Theme" and because someone on the dance floor asked about pizza, an impromptu version of Elvis Presley's classic "Little Sister" sung by David Fleminger as an ode to "Little Ceaser's" pizza establishment.  Adding to the fun, a number of fellow musicians joined in for a song throughout the night, including Scott Mathiasen of blues rockers The Shifty Eyed Dogs ("Slow Down" & "Bad Boy"), violinist Alicia Previn (a duet with Bart on "Ive Just Seen A Face"), bassist Aaron Bart of Tribe of Judah ("High Heeled Sneakers") and drummer Todd Sanders of Streetheart and Rockola (backing vocals on "No Matter What").
