A Big Return on Tax Day

I think my bandmates would definitely agree that tonight's gig went very, very well. The place was full to the gills, the owner and manager loved us, and we got a bigger reception at the end of Foosball than we'd ever been given in our whole time as a band. There were certainly a few interesting moments (as will happen to any band that hasn't performed publicly in six months), but all in all it was a fine show.

One pretty funny thing was that our unusual name threw some people; from what I heard, some of the people who work there thought that we were going to be a bunch of 16-year-old metalheads from the skate park a few blocks over. I trust that they were pleasantly surprised by what we really are, since they didn't seem like part of that particular demographic.

Oh, and we had our name on a sign out front for the first time in our career as a band. Matt snagged a picture of it , and we'll have it up here (in this very space) as soon as he's able to download all his pictures from his phone.

If you missed us this time, I have no doubt we'll be back over there, and it looks like it's going to lead to other things too. More thoughts from me over at my blog.

Directions 'n' Stuff

So if you're reading this post, I assume you'll be coming to see us tomorrow night; if that's the case (and we hope it is), here's the official map from the Coffee Haus site. If you want an expandable map to get you there from wherever you are, try this one.

At any rate, I hope we fill the place tomorrow; do stop by if you're within range and get a chance.

One More Week

Only seven more days till our "triumphant return" at the Coffee Haus. I can't believe that it's been nearly six months since we've done a public gig. We blew the rust off our traditional repertoire a little while back, so everything should go well. It's a tight little two-hour set, so it'll be pretty much our "greatest hits" (Foosball, Bud Powell, Samba de Zuachiñu, etc.), so there'll be no worries about stretching like we had at the Ke Davi gigs.

I hope a lot of people can make it out there; it'd be great to fill the place to the gills so we'll get asked back; we're also hoping to possibly invite some other venue owners to hear us, since the demo probably can't be made until the end of the spring.
