What an absolute blast this past Saturday at the Happy Dog as Jim, Matt and I got to see the reunion of The Waynes! Getting to see one of our favorite bands from the 90’s brought back all kinds of 107.9 The End memories and it was great to see station staff and fans come out alike and get to see The Waynes kill for over 2 hours!

The night started of with an amazing opening solo performance from Chris Allen.

Chris Allen at the Happy Dog! by Pat

Who not only did songs from the breadth of his carrer including one my favorite Rosavelt tunes ‘Carp and Bones’ but promised to come up with a better harmonica holder for all those solo performers that struggle with the current contraption!

Next up The Waynes hit stage for the first of 2 sets they would perform!!

The Waynes! by Charlotte DiFranco

Starting off with one of the first songs they wrote The Waynes burned through the first set which included allot of their early work with Matt switching from acoustic to electric guitar as the set progressed into their first CD ending with an amazing ‘Fall Off the World’! Other highlights include ‘This Moving Train’, ‘Strong’, ‘Blasted’ and a standard cover from back in the day ‘Eminence Front’ with Laurie on lead vox!

After a quick break and a shot the band headed back up on stage ignoring stifling heat to give the packed Happy Dog what it wanted…more MUSIC!! Starting off with ‘On Your Side’ some second set highlights include ‘Different Light’, ‘Backword’, ‘Break it all Down’ and the unreleased ‘Swerve’ from the Mitch Easter sessions!

What a great time all night long! I hope we don’t have to wait another 10 years for The Waynes to play again! It was obvious all night long that they have lost none of the chemistry that made them one of the city and regions favorites bands throughout the 1990’s!

The Waynes toast the crowd! by Charlotte DiFranco

They are working on a new CD to finally release all the previously unreleased work done with Mitch Easter in North Carolina so keep it tuned to the Inner Sanctum for details! but to tide you over here are some songs they performed live on the show a few Sundays ago! Enjoy!!
