Played a show last night. We were "the headliners," which in the circuit where we play basically means that we go on last. So it's a late night. And we spend lots of time in the club watching other bands play. This can be a good thing when you see a band you really enjoy, and it can be really bad when you have to sit through a set from a band you really, really don't enjoy. We experienced both last night.
Not naming names...
Anyway, we got on last; the audience had thinned out a little, but we filled the room with our sound. We have really jelled as a unit, and we were in "stripped down" mode, just vocals, one guitar, one bass, one drum-kit. We really enjoy making music together. And I think it comes across to the audience.
We did a bunch of originals and a bunch of covers. We worked up a sweat and ended with a cover of Lee Hazelwood's "These Boots are Made for Walking." It was a long wait to get on stage and then our set seemed to be over in a flash.
After-show inventory: Didn't break any strings. Didn't get raving drunk. Didn't insult anyone. Made it home in one piece.
Yeah, I guess it was a pretty good show...
