The Last Call Connection A long time ago, there was a band called Dandelion Wine (first incarnation). The lead singer was a man named Jim Best. That band broke up, but later reformed with a few new members including new lead singer Eric Ebert. Calling themselves Last Call, they played around Milwaukee for a couple of years. Then, Eric left the band. They continued on with both a new male and female lead singer (Gary Banach and Kim Engebretson, respectively) and played a bunch more places before their breakup in 2007.
Why am I telling you all this? Because this is how Jim, Kim and I all got to know each other... and it's even more relevant now, because...
"Diamonds, Martinis & Denim" Thursday Night at Las Palmas! Diamonds & Martinis returns to Las Palmas (60th & Burnham, West Allis) again this Thursday night, with Special Guest Gary B. of Last Call fame!

Should be a great one, folks... and with two-for-one margaritas, how can you go wrong? Showtime is 7pm.
D&M Return to Bunker's on Saturday 3/27 Haven't played Bunker's Nostalgic Lounge in what seems like forever... but Jim and I are back there on Saturday night!

Also... next week TUESDAY, APRIL 20th at Las Palmas, our friend Barb from Rexnord Industries is sponsoring another Happy Hour... this time at Las Palmas! Once again, there will be two-for-one margaritas, appetizers, and music from lil' ol' me. Although it is a pseudo "Private Party", EVERYONE IS WELCOME. Showtime for this event is 5pm.
Diamonds & Dreams at Stonebank Pub on Saturday 4/17 I never understood if this pub that we love so much is in Oconomowoc, or, like, the village of Stone Bank, or what... but gosh darn it, it's fun! Kim and I will be at the Stonebank Pub this Saturday. (If you look at their website, they still like to call us "Diamonds & a Diva", but what the heck...)
If you haven't seen us in ahile, I urge you to stop out (this means YOU, North Lake ladies)! Kim and I have both added tunes to our sets, and I'm sure there will be plenty of yummy beer flowin' and some dance n' disco songs in effect. Showtime is 8:30pm.

A very special event is happening this Sunday at North Hills Country Club in Menomonee Falls, sponsored by Alta Mira Senior Apartments and Horizon Management's Jo-Ann Wendt.

Starting at 4:30pm tomorrow (Tuesday, or Martes for you Spanish-speaking folk), Las Palmas will be hosting their first Happy Hour party. Although there will be many people from Rexnord there, this event IS open to YOU, the public. Enjoy two-for-one margaritas, great Mexican food, and... me! I will be singing the usual Neil Diamond tunes (with a couple of surprises from the 70s, 80s and 90s thrown in for good measure) until approximately 7:30pm. Come on down after work!
Friday Night at Kochanski's Concertina Beer Hall
We had so much fun "dukin' it out" with the Jimmy Monsen Band the last time we were at Kochanski's, I decided to do it again! This Friday April 23rd, join me at Kochanski's Concertina Beer Hall (1920 S 37th St, Milwaukee) as I once again participate in the "Battle of the Bands" against Jimmy Monsen, who brings a variety of music to his performances (polkas, swing, country, and rock and roll). I will not only be doing the usual Neil Diamond stuff, but will be throwing in a John Mellencamp and a 1970s set for good measure. Even though there's really no "battle" but is instead just a fun way to keep four hours of continuous music going, if you've never been to Kochanski's it's something you don't want to miss... especially if you are a connoisseur of fine Polish and German beers! Showtime is 9pm, and there is a $6 cover charge.
Saturday at DJ's Pub & Grill in Muskego

As always, I appreciate all your support and remember................
The Return... of Diamonds & Martinis to the Packing House!
I'm Home! Yes folks, I indeed arrived safely back home from our week-long cruise on Carnival Cruise lines. The trip was incredible, the shows were incredible and I met soooo many wonderful and interesting people from all over the U.S. (and even the U.K. and Austrailia). A MILLION thanks to Michelle and Warren from Surf n' Shore Travel for having me and providing me with an AMAZING opportunity, as well to Brian, Winnie, Greg, Heather, Pat, Megan, Kent, Kari, Suzie and Sue for coming along for the ride! It was also great to meet Mark from Bravo in Brookfield and Jeff from the Trocadero Gastrobar in downtown Milwaukee. I hope to see you guys soon!
If you are not a Facebook'er and have not yet seen the pictures, there are a ton of them from the trip to check out. Simply click here and you'll be able to view them, even if you don't have a Facebook account.

Diamonds & Martinis at Playoffs Pub on 02/04/12 It's been a couple of months, but Jim and I return to the old Fatboy Roadhouse, which is now of course the sports bar known as Playoffs Pub! The last couple of times we were there the crowd was a little... sparse, due to a couple of different factors. We would love you all to stop in and see what this cool little place has to offer. Located slightly off the beaten path but basically considered to be on 82nd & Forest Home (right before Layton Ave) in Greenfield, the staff and owners are great and quick to refill your drink. Plus there's a decent size dance floor for all our Solid Gold Dancers! Show starts at 9pm... stop somewhere on 76th street for a late dinner and then come on in!
Click here for more info on Playoffs Pub, or click here for their Facebook page.

The Last Call Connection
ReplyDeleteA long time ago, there was a band called Dandelion Wine (first incarnation). The lead singer was a man named Jim Best. That band broke up, but later reformed with a few new members including new lead singer Eric Ebert. Calling themselves Last Call, they played around Milwaukee for a couple of years. Then, Eric left the band. They continued on with both a new male and female lead singer (Gary Banach and Kim Engebretson, respectively) and played a bunch more places before their breakup in 2007.
Why am I telling you all this? Because this is how Jim, Kim and I all got to know each other... and it's even more relevant now, because...
"Diamonds, Martinis & Denim" Thursday Night at Las Palmas!
Diamonds & Martinis returns to Las Palmas (60th & Burnham, West Allis) again this Thursday night, with Special Guest Gary B. of Last Call fame! Since we're always looking to try new things on Thursday nights, Gary is stepping in with his own special Acoustic Tribute to the 1980s (Bryan Adams to the Black Crowes, Men at Work to Motley Crue, etc) in addition to the normal D&M shennanigans! Should be a great one, folks... and with two-for-one margaritas, how can you go wrong? Showtime is 7pm.
D&M Return to Bunker's on Saturday 3/27
Haven't played Bunker's Nostalgic Lounge in what seems like forever... but Jim and I are back there on Saturday night! And before you think about coming later and passing on eating dinner there, you have to read the write-up they recently got in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
http://www.jsonline.com/features/dining/88422637.html
They're on 74th & Greenfield (also West Allis) and we start the show at 9pm!
Hope to see you...

Las Palmas This Thursday 4/15
ReplyDeleteAlthough this show didn't make it onto the schedules you've probably seen, I will be at Las Palmas this Thursday night. Come down for two-for-one margaritas and the happy little 60s, 70s, 80s and Neil Diamond ditties to which you've grown accustomed. Showtime is 7pm.
Also... next week TUESDAY, APRIL 20th at Las Palmas, our friend Barb from Rexnord Industries is sponsoring another Happy Hour... this time at Las Palmas! Once again, there will be two-for-one margaritas, appetizers, and music from lil' ol' me. Although it is a pseudo "Private Party", EVERYONE IS WELCOME. Showtime for this event is 5pm.
Diamonds & Dreams at Stonebank Pub on Saturday 4/17
I never understood if this pub that we love so much is in Oconomowoc, or, like, the village of Stone Bank, or what... but gosh darn it, it's fun! Kim and I will be at the Stonebank Pub this Saturday. (If you look at their website, they still like to call us "Diamonds & a Diva", but what the heck...)
If you haven't seen us in ahile, I urge you to stop out (this means YOU, North Lake ladies)! Kim and I have both added tunes to our sets, and I'm sure there will be plenty of yummy beer flowin' and some dance n' disco songs in effect. Showtime is 8:30pm.

ReplyDeleteTuesday Happy Hour at Las Palmas
Thanks to Barb C. from Rexnord Industries, we once again have another "Private-Happy-Hour-Party-That's-Open-to-the-Public" to tell you about! Starting at 4:30pm tomorrow (Tuesday, or Martes for you Spanish-speaking folk), Las Palmas will be hosting their first Happy Hour party. Although there will be many people from Rexnord there, this event IS open to YOU, the public. Enjoy two-for-one margaritas, great Mexican food, and... me! I will be singing the usual Neil Diamond tunes (with a couple of surprises from the 70s, 80s and 90s thrown in for good measure) until approximately 7:30pm. Come on down after work!
Friday Night at Kochanski's Concertina Beer Hall
We had so much fun "dukin' it out" with the Jimmy Monsen Band the last time we were at Kochanski's, I decided to do it again! This Friday April 23rd, join me at Kochanski's Concertina Beer Hall (1920 S 37th St, Milwaukee) as I once again participate in the "Battle of the Bands" against Jimmy Monsen, who brings a variety of music to his performances (polkas, swing, country, and rock and roll). I will not only be doing the usual Neil Diamond stuff, but will be throwing in a John Mellencamp and a 1970s set for good measure. Even though there's really no "battle" but is instead just a fun way to keep four hours of continuous music going, if you've never been to Kochanski's it's something you don't want to miss... especially if you are a connoisseur of fine Polish and German beers! Showtime is 9pm, and there is a $6 cover charge.
Saturday at DJ's Pub & Grill in Muskego
Diamonds & Dreams returns to DJ's! Need I say more? Join KimE and I at S76W18040 Janesville Road for great company, fun music and the best burgers in town. Will the "Forever in Bleu Cheeseburger" be on the menu that evening, hmmmm Cindy? ;)
See the attached flyers if you feel like printin' stuff' out and hangin' `em on your fridge, or settin' new wallpaper on your computer, or even wallpapering your kids' rooms! Hope to see you this weekend.
Our Shows page has finally been updated to include our schedule thru July. The newest "printable monthly schedule" has also been updated and attached to this email for your convenience. Check it out at www.ericdiamondproductions.com. Thanks to everyone who has been reminding me that the site was woefully out of date... sometimes I need a little kick in the backside. :)
ReplyDeleteThis Thursday, Jim and I are back at Las Palmas on the corner of 60th & Burnham in West Allis. Never mind the construction -- we're talking great music and two-for-one margaritas here! Showtime is 7pm. (www.laspalmasmilwaukee.com)
For you Lake Country folk, Diamonds & Martinis is at The Golden Mast on Okauchee Lake on Friday, May 28th. Showtime there is also 7pm. (http://www.weissgerbers.com/goldenmast/index.html)
We have private parties the rest of the weekend, so if you can't make it out this time, hopefully we'll see you at either 88 Keys or DJ's next weekend. Have a safe and relaxing Memorial Day, everyone.

So, the Friday night performance at Callanan's in New Berlin is not to be - my sincerest apologies to those of you who were planning to attend. My good friends Randy Strumberger and Jude Kinnear are kindly covering for me as ZigZag, so I would encourage you to venture out anyway! These folks always bring it!

The Return... of Diamonds & Martinis to the Packing House!
ReplyDeleteI'm Home!
Yes folks, I indeed arrived safely back home from our week-long cruise on Carnival Cruise lines. The trip was incredible, the shows were incredible and I met soooo many wonderful and interesting people from all over the U.S. (and even the U.K. and Austrailia). A MILLION thanks to Michelle and Warren from Surf n' Shore Travel for having me and providing me with an AMAZING opportunity, as well to Brian, Winnie, Greg, Heather, Pat, Megan, Kent, Kari, Suzie and Sue for coming along for the ride! It was also great to meet Mark from Bravo in Brookfield and Jeff from the Trocadero Gastrobar in downtown Milwaukee. I hope to see you guys soon!
If you are not a Facebook'er and have not yet seen the pictures, there are a ton of them from the trip to check out. Simply click here and you'll be able to view them, even if you don't have a Facebook account.

Diamonds & Martinis at Playoffs Pub on 02/04/12
ReplyDeleteIt's been a couple of months, but Jim and I return to the old Fatboy Roadhouse, which is now of course the sports bar known as Playoffs Pub! The last couple of times we were there the crowd was a little... sparse, due to a couple of different factors. We would love you all to stop in and see what this cool little place has to offer. Located slightly off the beaten path but basically considered to be on 82nd & Forest Home (right before Layton Ave) in Greenfield, the staff and owners are great and quick to refill your drink. Plus there's a decent size dance floor for all our Solid Gold Dancers! Show starts at 9pm... stop somewhere on 76th street for a late dinner and then come on in!
