It's been a while

Hello again internets and interwebs of all types. So it's a been a while since I wrote anything but I've got some good shit to talk about. It's been so long I had to actually look back at what the last things I wrote were. So since I last decided the world needed to hear about my life me and the guys had booked our first together, did a live recording session with video, and got invited back to a place to play.

Ok so the show.

Honestly, it went great. I can't remember the last time I had so much fun and the guys did amazing. I'd be lying if I said it went off without a hitch but they were too few, too insignificant, and too far between to care. Our opening act Embers End were amazing also. I have heard Emily Pate sing before and I've loved her voice since the first time I heard it but that night she had harmonies from a bright male vocalist and they blended really well in my opinion. They had a nice crowd and after their last song I got the guys together and we basically hit our first note within 5 minutes of them getting off stage. Basically not letting people leave. I think that most people were shocked with our sound since the group before hand was two people and an acoustic guitar and we charge in with this drums and bass and distorted and guitars and that shit we love. Our set seemed way too short but we did play for an hour and aside from a handful of people, everyone stayed. When we put the guitars down and took a breath, we noticed a pile of something of the ground near one the PAs. The bartender told us that during our first song, a piece of the ceiling broke off and crashed right in front of Dillon (my guitarist) and some people in the audience. I quickly apologized for rocking too hard and with an "all good" we continued talking about music. We got a really good crowd response and people seemed to really dig the sound we had going on so hopefully we can get back into Chapel Hill sometime soon. Good times.

So the coffee shop in Holly Spring, NC that I played at, SiP, has been letting come back every week. It's been really cool and a great way for me to keep playing out. Only for tips but they don't let me go thirsty so I'm happy with the gig. The owners are great and even one week when I had to cancel a few hours before the gig, they were supper supportive and let me come back the next week. Friday seems to be my day. I go with my jazz guitar and pedal board and just go for a couple hours. I've got some new music this week and I'm excited to play it out for the first time. The best part about the gig is that I can call up one of my friends and just say "bring your instrument to here" and were playing. Instant gratification at it's finest.

Unfortunately, we have not been back to the studio since our first session but we do have plans to go this up coming week. No new shows have been booked yet either which definitely sucks but I guess you just gotta keep looking around. We do have the audio from the live session and I'll be putting that up on our Reverbnation.
