NEWS
FROM THE BAND...
July 7- as seems to be the usual way...we got
some Good news and some Bad news- bad news is that our expected
week long trip to perform in Calgary (Stampede Week) has gone by
the wayside (for this year anyway) ....Good news is.... that now
frees us up for some home town rockin at the Mackinac Festival
July 11th and 12th. Looking forward to Mackinac this year
and catching all the great tribute acts Saturday night when we
do our full 80's Experience show. Hope to see you all
there !
June 7- many thanks to everyone who
participated in Kaitlynn's fundraiser back in April. It was a
resounding success. 3rd Wave will be doing the Mackinac
Festival again this summer. Stay tuned for details. I'll try to
post some of my pics from Rock n' Roll Heaven and the show at
Foolery's in Windsor (with Destroyer) soon.
Feb 28- Hey folks, thanks so much, the Helix
show was sold out and a huge blast. See some pics from the show
here. We saw both a lot of familiar faces and new faces that
night too and the audience support was awesome. I've
posted a whole bunch of new pics from the last few months on our
Photos page and will be posting more soon.
We've got a number of exciting things coming up real soon
including a video shoot at the Roadhouse Route 66 in March, (see
details) and some "80's Experience" shows in
Toronto and Windsor as well. The Windsor show will be with a
Premium Kiss Tribute band called Destroyer and there will be bus
transportation from Sarnia to Windsor- more
details about that here. The Toronto show is at Rock &
Roll Heaven, if you're in the Sarnia or London area and are
interested in a night outta town, we're considering getting bus
transportation to Rock and Roll Heaven for our 3rd Wave friends.
If you wanna go, send us an email for more details thirdwavebooking@yahoo.ca

Also for those of you who remember, last year my (Lynic's) niece
Kaitlynn, had a very successful fundraiser for Watercan raising
money to provide African children with clean drinking water. Kaitlynn's assistance in helping this dire
situation has gained her both local and international
recognition for her efforts. 3rd Wave has gladly agreed to
assist Kaitlynn again this year with collecting donations and
performing a concert at the Courtright Silverdome. We really
appreciate all the generous donations made by you folks last
year and hope she can have your support again. Here's the details
of the event.
Jan 18th- well with the coming of our new year
comes a turn of events with our former guitarist, John returning
to the band. Our sincere thanks goes out to Pete Seegert for all
his help and contributions over the last few months and we all
wish him the best of luck. The last few months have been very
busy but we've recently had the good fortune of Darren and Janet
from "Metcalfe Photography" graciously donating some
awesome professional pictures to us, (featuring Pete on guitar)
so I'll be posting those pics here shortly. Thanks Darren and
Janet ! We're looking forward to this weekend at the new
"Roadhouse Route 66" and hopefully get a chance to get
some more pics of you folks for fan of the month etc... also on
the up and coming is an opportunity to open for Canadian rockers
Helix in London this February which should be a total blast.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us with buying our CD
over the last few months, you're the best !
Nov. 15 /07 - we had an awesome time at Dallas
City Limits and it was great to see all the familiar faces and
perform back in Sarnia. We're pleased to announce that it looks
like Dallas will be a regular stop for us again now. I'll try to
find some time to get some new pics up on the Photos page
soon. Looking forward to getting back to Jersey's this
weekend and our friends in Chatham.
Oct 11/07- We're pleased to announce a new member
of 3rd Wave with Mr. Pete Seegert taking on the role of lead
guitar. For those who haven't heard thru our email
grapevine, John has retired from 3rd Wave as of September. With
the concern of filling in Johns big shoes, we think
Pete is not only a real talented musician, but also a hardcore 80's rocker, so we think he'll be the
perfect compliment to the band.....Come and check out our new
rockin' dude from Michigan ! Stay tuned, for a possible surprise
show in Sarnia to be announced very soon as well !
PS. Thank you to the "Loose Moose" and "Alvinston
Fair", we had a great time ! Toronto was cool and Alvinston
is ALWAYS cool !!!! See ya back in Alvinston in 2008 ! AND if we don't
have enuff people to thank already this month, thanks to Michele at Sarnia Rocks for the two awards presented to us for
"band of the year" and to Glenn for "Person of
the Year" (for Mackinac festival)....that's special to us
to get the recognitian here at home and considering the amount
of extra work behind the scenes this band has gone thru in the
last several months to prepare for things to come, I gotta say
that the encouragement is appreciated now, more than ever
before....its an energy boost....the awards look pretty cool
too....lol !
