Vodka Collins, Walkin' The Dog

[Primalonna]

Alan Merrill did this song in New York on new year's eve 2011. It rocked!

[jojoranter]

Alan Merrill the lead singer of Vodka Collins just did this song at the Mississippi Day picnic party in Central Park in New York with the Jon Paris group June 5, 2010. The band were great and Alan still has the voice and energy of a 25 year old.

@jojoranter There was a Vodka Collins reunion at Club Sensation in Yokohama Japan this November 13th '10 with founding members Alan Merrill and Take Yokouchi playing on stage. 

[Primalonna]

@jojoranter He just played at the Mississippi Day Picnic AGAIN this year (2011) with the Jon Paris group last weekend! He did "Walkin the dog" !!!

[Primalonna]

They did the reunion at Tokyo Duo Music Exchange 1/25/10 and everybody who was there says it was great.

[fabnekko]

@Primalonna- Alan Merrill will be in Japan this August 12th 2010 to perform at the Joe Yamanaka benefit at Club Crocodile in Tokyo. He will be on stage with Monsieur Kamayatsu and Take Yokouchi founding members of Vodka Collins, so it will be a kind of band reunion.

[Primalonna]

@fabnekko Actually his main perfomance was on August 11th, where he closed the show. He got two encores and was amazing. There are lots of photos on his website photo album.

Vodka Collins members Monsieur, Alan Merrill, Take Yokouchi and Shinoyan will perform at the reunion with Grico on the drums.

[Primalonna]

@chickenindaloo The reunion happened at Club Sensation in Yokohama Japan and Bar Amrta Tokyo in November 2010.

[jivingjunkosan]

There will be a memorial concert in Tokyo next month (1-25-10) for Hiroshi Oguchi at Duo Music Exchange. Vodka Collins original members will appear with Grico (Tensaw) on drums.

It looks like it was a fun concert! Did Vodka Collins ever play any shows outside Japan?

[nastynastynena]

Too cool! Thank you for posting.

[Primalonna]

I wonder if there'll ever be a reunion now that Vodka Collins drummer has passed away? The Who, and Zeppelin did a reunion with new drummers after their drummers died. It's never the same though.

[jivingjunkosan]

It way too soon after the fact to even think about that now, I'm sure.

[honeybabycookie]

* - ) looks like it was a fun rock show!

[Primalonna]

The second verse sounds like "I sold my sister for 15 cents, to see an elephant jump the fence, and he jumped so high

that he touched the sky, didn't get back til a quarter to five"- Not the original lyric, that's for sure! LOL

[jojoranter]

He's making up new words in the verses to the song as he goes along! Great stuff.

[princeofrazzle]

I like the guitar solo. The Aleecat Merrill clearly learned some stuff playing with Derringer for a few years.

[andicatz]

Alan is an international vocalist and no matter where he is in the world he puts on a great performance! Super group VC!

[honeybabycookie]

Vodka Collins are such a cool band!

[thickmickslick]

Vodka rocks!

[Primalonna]

Yeah! Good comment!

[sirshagamore]

The recent Fuji TV show was absolutely magic.

[KeithTheKing]

There should be a couple of videos up soon from the recent Fuji TV show.

[jivingjunkosan]

I saw the TV show of Monsieur and Alan yesterday. It was great. Also with Steve Cropper, Hank Williams the 3rd and Jon paris.

[ladycsummers]

Looks like a great show. I wish I'd been there. -CC

[KeithTheKing]

Monsieur K and Alan Merrill will be on Fuji TV on August 16th '07, international broadcast on the Sekai Gumi show. It's a 90 minute special with a live segment at BB King's in NYC.

[princeofrazzle]

Vodka Collins! Respect!

[licketyslick]

I saw Alan Merrill sing in New York last night. He was great. It was a private party at the Botanical Gardens. He rocked the place.

[mistersick13]

Vodka Collins members Monsieur Kamayatsu and Alan Merrill just did a show together in New York last week at BB King's, May 28th. Fuji TV filmed it.

[sooziwoozi]
