Update 08 January 2010
Hello Friends. Long time no see. Don't worry, we've been busy playing, jamming,
and writing. We've done a series of "private" charity gigs—our last show was on Xmas day at Inn From the Cold, playing
carols for homeless families, shouting and cheering (with help from our good pals, Friends and Neighbours). Now we're
goin' public again, and you can catch us at King Henry the VIII pub, Jan 15, 8:30 pm. Check out the giant mantis poster
above for the mad details!
And we have it on good word that there's a little Dangerous
coming this April . . . yes, James and his wife Jocelyn (our rock star drummer) are having a little boy then. So we've been
busy, making music and future musicians (James hopes).
Best of 2010 to you all. We'll be playing quite a bit, so come down and share
some awesome with us! Drop us a line at info@jamesdangerous.com. We'd love to chat with you!

Just learned from the organizers of Papa Wheely that tickets to their Dreadful Gestalt show will be advance only. They're $20, and if you want

catch one of the upcoming ones: they're always a hoot and a holler or ten, and James does his best to live up to the Hicks'
