So what the heck is The Church of Great Rain? Well, it’s not exactly a bunch of Lutherans from Minnesota. But it is a group of Vashon Island performers who aspire to be the pacific northwest’s answer to A Prairie Home Companion.
When Garrison Keillor opened A Prairie Home Companion at Janet Wallace Auditorium in Saint Paul on July 6, 1974 there were about 12 people in the audience. But those in attendance thought there were worse ways to spend a Saturday afternoon. The Church of Great Rain hopes you feel the same about how you’ll spend your Sunday evening on Vashon. And besides, when was the last time you were able to order a drink at church? And by harnessing the surgical smart-bombing precision and global reach of the Internet, The Church of Great Rain will launch a preemptive strike on dozens of listeners from around the world. Not since Sarah Palin’s Vice Presidential debate have expectations been so low for a broadcasted performance. The Church of Great Rain will be performing evening services at The Red Bicycle on the last Sunday of each month. The program will deliver a not-very-well-considered sermon, short stories, rumors and truth about islanders and island living, supported by original songs and a weird cast of island characters to raise everyone’s spirits for the week ahead. Count on it being loose, fun and very Vashon! FREE COVER! This event repeats on the fourth Sunday of every month until 01/31/2009

Vashon’s Red Bicycle Bistro: The Pharmacy Honors Ross Krinsky
The Pharmacy plays an ALL AGES SHOW TO HONOR OUR GOOD FRIEND ROSS KRINSKY!
Saturday November 28 at 9:00 PM.
Scott Yoder and Brendhan Bowers made plenty of noisy racket in the local garages and teen centers growing up on Vashon Island. They moved across the Puget Sound to Seattle and booked their first tour as The Pharmacy (with then-member Joey Seward) in 2003 and have kept the show pretty much on the road ever since. In 2006 Joey left for more metal pursuits and classically trained pianist and fellow Vashon kid Stefan Rubicz joined on keyboards. Since then they’ve transformed from the synth-heavy overdrive of their 2005 debut album B.F.F. through the drizzly sunshine of the Overcast Summer 7″ at last landing on the off-kilter psychedelic pop of Choose Yr Own Adventure. Replete with epic instrumentation – viola, violin, cello, harpsichord and horns all make an appearance- Choose Yr Own Adventure has been years in the making, re-vamped re-recorded and re-written over time.
They have played Bumbershoot, the Capitol Hill Block Party, every club in town and every basement in the country. They have played with the Moldy Peaches and toured with Kimya Dawson (as her opening and backing band), Jeffrey Lewis and Matt & Kim. The 2008 European tour is happening right now. If they could live on tour then they would….. Let’s welcome these guys back to Vashon in a big way, the day after Thanksgiving. ALL AGES SHOW. 9-11pm. We’re making this a really affordable show by ONLY charging $4 cover!!
