Yet another wild night in PEI (Conference).


 Toronto was a blast, playing in front of more than 800 Beer reps is a party on party on stun.   Merimac performed at the Phoenix Concert Theater which has hosted The Rolling Stones, Metallic and several other huge bands and is simply a delight to play at.  Merimac also played at The Sheraton Center earlier in the morning promoting Keith's.   More photos on "Photo Gallery"

May 13th, '06  - Merimac plays the Alehouse (pics here) with guests Kevin (formerly of Fortune's Hand) for the Fri. & Sat. as Ryan Hawes is flown in to TO for round two of Canadian Idle.  Ryan makes top 40 in Canadian Idol but forgets words in a song which the judges didn't appreciate.  Hey Ryan, it's just like playing with Merimac!  A rare night to behold, both Merimac's bass players,  Peter and Craig play together on stage.  Of course Shawn from the Alehouse sings a few.  And the hottest Latino star east of Ont., Yoanis Roche from Caliente Entertainment sings a couple Latin Merengue songs.  The Alehouse was absolutely jammed and jammin.  A crew of about 20 people go back to Craig's place to continue the party 'till Sunday afternoon.
 _________________________________________________________
May 1st, '06 - Merimac voted best party band in the Maritimes by Maritime Music Central with worst website content including news, updates, photos & downloads.  (We'd like to celebrate that, yet say we're are sorry!).
