williwaw : the triumphant return

audiovisual documentation of the first sixth of the triumphant return of williwaw to its past home of champaign, illinois, 23. february 2013 - the second leg of the world tour at indi go co-op, taken by the esteemed proprietress ms. sapi. a few more details can be found on the williwaw funtime-show revue.

but that's not all. there's also a further excerpt from a later fifteenth of that same return, documented by the esteemed bassist/impresario ms. rushakoff.

strooooke!

a nugget of a gem of a pearl was recently uncovered - driver has no cash playing in 1992 - and put upon this series of tubes. behold, the beginning of that long ago night, where we find our heroes in battle with billy squier and his ribald command, stroke!

more of this ribaldry can be found within you own personal williwaw vision quest.

DHNC ¡DONE!

it was all whirlwind, heat and flash...

the artist seldom known as williwaw was playing a recent acquisition for the most rollicking event: an eight-string 'ukulele - or taro-patch fiddle, for those organologists among us - with a built-in under-the-saddle transducer and pre-amp. the other two-thirds of the unstable entertainment molecule preferred it to the other numerous ukes available - the sound was admittedly pretty keen for several songs of the evening, and the tuning finally settled before the show, but euf! the string tension was revealing repetitive stress disorders the former artist didn't even know they had - wrist pads and isometric exercises for everyone this holiday season, hoo-boy! two amps were used in an attempt for bass and treble, although one of the amps seemed to provide all frequencies and the other just glistening mud. the kids just love that glistenin' mud. for those who didn't get out of bed in time, the set was a hurried six: Fix Me / Love Is Alive / SWLABR / Crash Course In Brain Surgery (the original Budgie way, not that crapulent cover version) / Hot Blooded + Jukebox Hero / We're An American Band

these guys were weird

the mysterious mister charles found the entertainment molecule to be weird, which is fine by the molecule, and he also took a nice snap of the magic aura of driver has no cash.

A limited number of driver has no cash stickers are still available - Inquire within.

DHNC ¡NOW!

driver has no cash - francis bradley gill, robert rising & the artist somewhat rarely known as williwaw - have, like the Great Phoenix, risen from the ashes.

CHAMPAIGN USA

there will be much roaring, much whimpering, cowering even, from the mighty rock. can you handle such rock? no, you can't. but you'll try, oh how you'll try, to carry on. there are tickets. there will be no t-shirts. no, don't cry, there will be other trinkets. there will be other bands. so many bands. so much rock. you, you really should stay away. you, you're just not ready. stay home. yes, the sofa. that's the place for you...

the random sound cavalcade will continue soon after the Great Phoenix returns to the ashes

the great(er) hiatus

before the dawn of the great internet, people had to keep track of things. no, back then things were not left to the Great Cache, for the Great Cache was still in its infancy, and not very great at all. and all this is preamble to the simple problem that williwaw is not completely sure when driver has no cash played its last show. it was a long time ago. a long, long time ago. well, somebody has done lost their marbles, and has booked some sort of tribute to dreams unfulfilled, replete with many defunct bands from circa 1993. driver has no cash, despite poor record keeping, did play in 1993. more than once, even. and like a phoenix rising from the ashes in some sort of shambled manner, driver has no cash will now play in 2008. the 25th of may, in the heart of champaign-urbana - well, just the heart of champaign.

yes, everything old is still old, but then again, yes.

this jug is always full

old-time goodness has come to the youtuberie - behold! the finest of champaign and vermilion counties...

unfortunately there is no documentation of a cornlikkers show at the former blind pig co. venue, circa the same time, which featured the unique and posilutely riveting double jug attack of jim and gerald. gerald also joined the williwaw endeavour on tuba in a loving rendition of færies wear boots with bill and meghan on saxamaphones. alas, there is no known document of that massive outing, either. pity the færies, pity the jugs.
