When bands fly into gigs, that usually means they have achieved a level of recognition that is saved for the few.
Private Sector flew into Thompson municipal airport in a twin engine Cessna last Sunday mainly because it was the quickest way to get there.
The performance was to be Monday night, however, the equipment, which had taken the long road of driving into the bush, had still not arrived, leaving Sector scrambling to outfit the show with rag-tag local equipment. As a result, the performance suffered and Sector found themselves playing a mostly unplugged set in between equipment problems and outages. The lighting consisted of a few par cans and two naked light bulbs.
Private Sector had never played Thompson before, blowing out the gig twenty-five years ago when they were originally slated to play there. "Now I can see why", bassist Donald Barley stated emphatically.
The boys head for North Battleford, Sask. for a gig on Thursday.
