The Neurotics are the embodiment of fab British Invasion sixties classic rock, or whatever you want to call it. Wherever we are in the world, we'll post the latest scoop here on our home page. To know more about who The Neurotics are, read our biography!

 Looks like we'll be at the annual parking lot barbecue party for the Arbutus Club on Vancouver's West Side on September 3. If you're in the neighbourhood you'll probably hear us rocking out.

 We played another fab show at a wedding in Chilliwack, B.C. last night, and if you're interested in some details about the equipment we use, Sticky has posted some info over at his podcast Inside Home Recording.

Or you could just admire his handsome face

 Yes, The Neurotics rocked the Vancouver Sun Run for the 15th year in a row on Sunday, April 20, 2008. So here are some photos:

Aren't we pretty?

 Can it really be more than half a year since we posted anything here? How silly! Of course The Neurotics and HourGlass played all through 2007, and have been plugging away in 2008 too—we have a private show at the Renaissance Hotel in Vancouver just next week, in fact. We've just been remiss about updating the website here, which makes us bad little boys.

That's because Sticky Neurotic, drummer/percussionist/web dude here, has been pretty ill for the past while, and pretty much forgot entirely about the website while he got better. If you like, you can check out photos from our crazy six-man show last summer. But we'll go update the calendar and try to dust things off here a bit. Rock on!

 We're the rockin' band for the first of a series of Tamara's Block Party events run here in Vancouver by CTV News, and hosted by weather anchor Tamara Taggart.

Tamara will be doing her channel 9 weather forecasts during the evening news on June 21 from a block party in East Vancouver, and we're the entertainment. The weather looks to be good, and it will be a fun time.

 As we have since 1994, we'll be rocking out the starting line of the Vancouver Sun Run on Sunday, April 15. Drummer Sticky is sick this time around, so you'll see a different dude on the skins this time around, but expect the same wild-n-crazy Sun Running action as always.

You can find photos of our previous years' shows at photo site Flickr and here at our photo galleries.

Hope to see you there at 8 a.m. Sunday!

Happy 2007 from the Neurotics!

We'll rock you again soon. You know it.

Oh sure, we have Christmas parties and things galore this year. But unless you're part of the groups we're playing for, you can't come. Sorry.

We'll let you know if something interesting happens for New Year's, though. That's not set in stone yet.

 We know, we know, we never post anymore. If it's any consolation, we're playing in the parking lot of the Arbutus Club on Vancouver's West Side tomorrow (Wednesday September 6) from 5 to 8 p.m., although it's supposed to be a members-only event.

 We now have a full set of Sun Run photos for you to peruse at your leisure. Rock on.

 Another Sun Run come and gone, and 'ere we are:

That's Bumpy on the left (he took the pic), Swingy's mouth and cheek just behind Bumpy's left ear hidden beyond the hair, Sticky with the teeth, and Dilly looking all suavé. A glamorous bunch we are, no?

 Three months with no updates. Sorry 'bout that. Come see us at the starting line of the Vancouver Sun Run on Sunday, April 23, 2006, starting at 8 a.m.—it's our 13th year (!) at the Sun Run, and the first non-private gig we've played in ages.

And here is last year's photo, in case you're wondering what we look like.

Once again we do have to note that, unlike what the Vancouver newspaper says, we are not a "Beatles clone band." The Beatles were a Neurotics clone band, and everyone knows it, baby.

Lou Rawls? Lou Rawls? Lou Rawls?

Oh, the silky-voiced humanity!

 These days we rarely play an event that's open to the general public, but this week is different. Actually, it's exactly the same. We thought our show at Granville Island's Arts Club Lounge was public, but we just checked the calendar and it's a PRIVATE FUNCTION, public not admitted.

You'll have to rock out some other way on Saturday. We will still be playing many '80s numbers, including "Jenny Jenny (867-5309)," but unless you're part of whatever group is partying down (and we don't know), you'll have to make do with your old Tommy Tutone 45 rpm single. Alas and alack.

Come see us at Joe Fortes on New Year's Eve instead.

Once again (for the third year running) HourGlass is playing New Year's Eve at Joe Fortes Restaurant in downtown Vancouver, B.C. This is a public event, just as in 2003 and 2004, so book a table and rock out New Year's 2005-2006 with us!
