5/14/06 – Saturday night The Splinters, starring Bill Hansen on lead guitar, descended upon the Art Colony in Grand Marais and proceeded to rock the energetic crowd long past their 11 p.m. curfew. Rolling Stone described the performance as “inspired” and said that Bill played with his guts. It was also Clare’s first night back from college in Duluth in addition to a well-earned night on the town for the hard-working early season crew. After hitting the town hot spots (darts and ‘refreshments’ at the Tavern and pizza at Sven’s) we worked up a sweat dancing the night away to the likes of Funky Ceili and other Splinters favorites. Thanks for a rockin’ good time Bill!

Bill rocks out with his band.

The Splinters’ groupies are all fired up after the show.

Here is a nice photo of Cindy, Clare and Kathy.

Hard core death metal punks!!!
