Review: M and M Lounge gig on March 3rd, 2011

Bonnie Carter, the editor of Positively Entertainment and Dining, wrote a short blurb about Saturated Phats' gig at the M and M on March 3rd. It appeared in the March 14th issue. There were over 200 people at the M and M for the gig, so we figured some of you who were there might like to read it: "Drummer & PE&D staffer Ed Jordan joined me at the M&M in Gresham recently to hear Saturated Phats (November PE&D cover band). It was standing-room-only as dancers packed the floor for the harmony-rich group; all four members sing on a wide variety of tunes ranging from The Joker, Smooth and LaBamba, to Proud Mary, I’m Yours, You Really Got Me and a number of unique originals. In Ed’s words, the band is “sultry, tight and smooth.” You can hear some of their music on their Facebook or Myspace pages. Or better yet, check their ad or the Bandstand and go out to hear them live! Michael Spinella is doing a fine job of booking the M&M these days; visit anytime for the best music.

Hi Friends, Fans and Family, Happy Spring to everyone! Thanks to everyone (and there were a lot of you) who came out to our March shows at the M & M Lounge and Gator's Bar and Grill. Both places were packed. The M & M was so crowded that the club had to call in more servers for the 200+ people who showed up. As it is for any gig; THANK YOU for supporting us, live music and local businesses! Facebook Update: Want to know where we are performing? Go to our FB page!

Washington County here we come! Leo's is a small bar that is a lot of fun to be at. If the stars align correctly we might be unveiling a new ACDC tune this night.

IRISHTOWN BAR AND GRILL Saturday, APRIL 2ND 9pm-1am, $3 11600 SE Mill Plain Blvd Vancouver, WA 98684 21 and over. Our last show at Irishtown was full of fun dancing, drinking and par-tay-ing.

Irishtown is a big club with a nice dance floor, great sound system and wonderful food/drinks. "THE BIRK"- Birkenfeld Country Store Saturday, APRIL 16TH 7-10, free 11139 Hwy 202 Birkenfeld 97016 All ages. This is always a fun party in the country.
