Foot Tappin'

Heeeeeyy.

Coming off a spanktacular weekend, Im already super excited about the next one coming up.

First just wanna thank the Fernie Yacht Club for hosting Atomic Hooligan and Lusicious Beats at the Royal. Woot woot good good times! Those who came know what im sayin ahhhh so good!

If you are unfamiliar with the Fernie Yacht Club, today is your lucky day as I give you the key to dancing in Fernie. These fine, yet rugged gentlemen will give you your thrills and chills on the dance floor every Friday night at the Royal. Breaking it down every week for the last 5 years, they have been a consistent part of the Fernie music scene as they have attracted many hot babes and sweaty foreigners to hither and linger on their speakers.
The story goes:
The Fernie Yacht Club banded together one frigid, stormy evening in March 1776. Four DJ's were sailing their schooners on a search for what was rumored to be the biggest haul of beaver pelts known to the Old World. Upon arriving in port mother nature reached down her hand and capsized all 4 of the mighty vessels leaving only 4 phonographs untouched. Taking this as a sign the DJs set them up on the beach and started belting the biggest tunes the 18th century had ever heard. Before they knew it the townspeople came running in huge groups to the shoreline eager to dance the night away. As the sun came up and the dancing began winding down the yacht club made an unprecedented decision. They decided to hand out all the beaver pelts to the hard partying townspeople so they could stay warm. As a show of gratitude the townspeople built the Dj's a clubhouse and from there the Fernie Yacht Club was formed. Fast forward 200 years and the yacht club can still be found playing to dance floors all over the East Kootenays. Check back for upcoming productions from the FYC.
