On Friday May 7 I'll be taking my Exploiter out to a bar called Character's in Gardner, MA for a gig with a band called True Pedestrians. The band plays 90's rock covers and a few classics. I haven't been in this bar for at least 10 years since new owners took over and remodeled it. My old guitar player and I used to frequent it on Sundays in the old days when it was a blue collar dive to enjoy 50 cent draft beers and play polkas on the jukebox....

Now it's just another seedy toilet but should be fun nonetheless.

Hey JP,

I'd come out but I'm working that night. Best of luck!!! Hey did that place have another name back in the '80s. I may have played there if it's the place I'm thinking.

Peace,

Hey Dino,

If you played a bar in downtown Gardner in the 80's it was probably Alan's Pub or The Pub. Same place. It was a hopping place back in the day.... we used to do 4 night stands there. It went country in the 90's and is now a classic rock type of place with patrons stuck in the 70's... They never had polkas on their jukebox!!!
