Thanks to everybody for coming out as well as to the Bye Bye Blackbirds for playing with us. Alanna took some photos of the event (I’ll post more soon). The Make-Out Room was quite filled. I hope we get to play there again sometime. Awesome venue.
We did 9 songs, 8 from the new record (Matchbook was the only track we did from the first disk). I was quite nervous beforehand as the sound guy didn’t show up until about 15 minutes before the door opened, leaving us with no option for a sound check. In a normal rock band situation, this is normally fine, but when you have 2 cellos (celli), 2 guitars, bass, keyboards, accordion, glockenspiel and drums, it can be a little more tricky. Regardless, the sound guy did a great job and I really had nothing to worry about. The strange thing was that the Make Out Room’s stage has two levels. Right behind my head was my guitar amp, which meant, I was able to hear my guitar drums and that’s about it. According to those that were in the crowd, it sounded fine, so I am satisfied.
Next show: July 13th at Don Quixotes in Felton, CA.
