The LeBrain Train: 2000 Words or More with Mike Ladano
Episodes 57 and 58 – Max the Axe & Easter Special weekend!
Happy Easter everyone — a weekend I have traditionally looked forward to ever since I was a kid. Spring is in the air! The last two Easters have been pretty weird, but I’m glad to spend some time with you during this global crisis. It’s only getting worse currently here in Ontario as the third wave threatens to undo all our progress. So, this weekend I’ll be doing two shorter shows instead of one long one. Here’s the plan:
Thursday April 1 – Max the Axe “Straight Outta Lockdown” session – 7:00 PM E.S.T.
For the first time in almost a year, Max the Axe reunited for a rehearsal. It was rough and ragged but lead vocalist Uncle Meat has given me the thumbs-up to play some songs from this session, including the brand new “Pygmy Blowdart”. Special guest: the one, the only Max himself!
Friday April 2 – Good Friday – Easter Memories – 7:00 PM E.S.T.
Similar to the “Christmas Memories” show from last year. I had a lot of good Easters. Join me on Good Friday for some happy memories, musical and otherwise. Such as:
- Easter ’85 – Condition Critical in Ottawa
- Easter ’86 – Quiet Riot air guitar weekend, Turbo, Crossbows & Catapults on the kitchen floor
- Easter ’87 – Digging trenches in the back yard for GI Joe.
- Easter ’88 – Skyscraper in Ottawa
- Easter ’91 – Welcome to My Nightmare?
- Easter ’92 – Pandora’s study regime
- Easter ’16 – Record Store shopping in Ottawa
Hope to see you this weekend on the LeBrain Train. NEXT WEEK: Andy Curran!

I hope you like it man. The live rehearsal stuff is rough, but it’s real and I think we have three good tunes to play tomorrow.

Two shows in one wek! You offer a ray of light for us all, in the face of the general human dipshitery keeping us locked up, and for this we thank you!

You guys are only on your third wave of covid? We’re getting ready for number 4.

Are you serious?? Wow, I guess we have that to look forward to. Yes third wave is upon us now and the same patterns are repeating. Our leaders play politics while I haven’t hugged my grandma in 15 months.

A show on Thursday? I’ll be doing homework that day, but I’ll be able to catch Friday’s show live (hopefully). Good luck with both shows either way, you’re going to be awesome! I hope Ontario will survive the third wave of covid!
