What I did with my weekend.....
« on: May 19, 2008, 08:56:31 AM »

Well more like Thursday, Friday and Saturday....Worked hard, played 3 one hour sets each night in our favorite place, Pt Angeles, Wa. Thursday at The Castaways, kinda redneck place with a lousy club PA and difficult to eq space.
   

Friday was at The Lyre's Club, we were the first band to play here, as it was newly renovated including the stage. A very intimate place to play, the stage is 6" tall so you're right there with the crowd, for me this is what playing in a rock band is all about.......a sweaty bar full of people on a Friday night.

 

It wasn't all work, we have lots of friends out in P.A. I'm with Ginger, our keyboard player.



Saturday found us at Steele's, a sports bar.....not really my kinda place but there were well over 300 people there to see us! A crazy night!

   


 There is about 6 hours of video in production and 9 hours of music, I'm beat this Monday a.m., time to rest up by going back to work......

At the redneck bar - did you hastenly add Garth Brooks covers to your set?  ;D

You could have at least done an a capella version of "Stand by your man", Mark!

"Stand By Your Man".  The song that broke up the original Motorhead.  After Lemmy did the single with Wendy O, Eddie Clarke bailed.  Fastway rose out of that.  David King, former singer of Fastway and Mr. Big, is now fronting Flogging Mollie.

Looks like you had a great gig. Its cool to be excepted and it does not hurt you guy/gals kick arse in your playing. That should be the bottom line.
