Sector opens tour with a whimper


It was supposed to be a glorious start to a long tour, but it turned out quite differently. Last year Pottahawk was one of the best performances for Private Sector on the North American leg of their Two in the Pink, One in the Stink Tour, this year, no one wants to talk about the debacle.

It all started with a promoter who was hard of hearing and booked the gig , not for Pottahawk, but for the little used Pottahog Island fifty miles away. The bands were transported in by boat and played on a massive stage and performed to a group of twenty-five, elderly, nude, sunbathers.

A disappointed Private Sector drummer Bug Christopher told reporters, We were told people would be able to see the drums from miles away, only to discover they meant the empty oil drums that were washed up everywhere.

In his disgust, Sector Bassist Donald Barley, kicked Creeping Jesus, accordionist Hunter Hays into the lake, dislocating the young boy`s shoulder.

Sector continue on to Blind River where it all began twenty-five years ago with only one opening act in tow.
