Review:
We killed this show. Which, I'll admit, was a little risky, seeing as how there were Governor's involved with our show. Oddly enough, those Governor's will always be remembered for the song about their lead singers mother...which was curiously triumphant.
We did end up headlining this show, though we thought we were playing second. Apparently Ass Backwards' bass player, or guitar player, or drummer...someone in their band...had a pilots test in the morning. And, apparently Ryan's brother's wife was in labor. So, it was the battle of poor excuses to play second. I stayed out of it, and kept drinking, which made me oblivious to the entire ordeal...but apparently, in light of recent developments in the space-time continueum, non-existant babies are not as important as airplanes...which sounds about right.
But our true fans stuck it out. And by true fans, I mean people who came out earlier, expecting to see us play, and then had to wait around for an hour and a half. By all accounts, however, we played an awesome set. We had about a dozen people standing at the front of the stage (including the Groove Governor who's mother was discussed above), dancing and cheering...and pretend moshing. We even rearranged the setlist without ever communicating verbally (to keep the vibe up), which means we've been a band for a damn long time.
Note: "Smile" is quickly gaining in popularity. It was well received at this show and was asked about, by name, by a fan who has only seen us once, if it was going to be on the new CD. The answer to that question is no...it will only be on the NEW COMPACT DISC!
