The day was very long. We had some technical difficulties in the beginning. That and the lack of an audience drove our start time 2 hours later. Saturday afternoons are not the best times to put on a show.
Liquid Casing put on an acoustic show.
Finding Reason was up next. I must say, i was caught off guard...i didn't realize they were finishing up so quickly. But we set up went through some quick sound checks and then started rockin'.
We started off with a new cover song as a sound check. Amazingly, we didn't butcher it too badly. We had only practiced that song 4 or 5 times previously. We'll be adding it to the set list. I still need some work on that song...so that's where i'll concentrate over the next few practices.
It is such a rush to hear the music come together...loud and in your face. Without doubt we finish the set with two powerful songs and it's quite a rush to hear and feel it ... the power that is.
My performance wasn't perfect. In fact, i made such a rookie mistake that i won't even mention it...but i'm quite embarrassed about it. Good thing is that it was somewhat fixable. There were only a few places that were obvious standouts, but if i'm keeping score, i hit more right notes/chords than wrong notes/chords. That's a good thing. And, each time we do this, i gain a little more confidence in the songs.
And like that it was over...9 songs and a little banter along the way. We played for probably around 50 minutes...if that. i wasn't keeping time.
Following Finding Reason was our good friends, Death Carpet Trio. I always enjoy watching these guys. Funky stuff.
Next was The Muzic Cooks (actually, i'm not sure how they spell it...). These guys definitely have the rockstar look. And their music was definitely rockstar quality. I'm surprised these guys aren't more well known.
Next was a side project from some of the members of the Muzik Cooks. But by this time i was outside trying to get some fresh air...the smoke was just getting too intense.
Midnight rolled around and i was completely exhausted. With less than 2 hours left in the night, i decided to called it a night. I didn't get to see Less Than Serious do a short set. I'm sure it was great as always.
We did have a webcam running during the event. Although i suspect the video/audio will be horrible, i will direct you to it if it comes out. Ben is still doing some post processing on it.
In the meantime, here are a few pictures from the Finding Reason set.
