We played an open mic at an Irish pub in Madison last night. Being the slackers we were, we didn't show up until a few hours late when they were just about to tear down.
By begging the guy running the event (Mark Croft. Buy him a drink, my friends.) and promising to setup in 3 minutes or less, we secured a spot at the last minute. As we were setting up, some other guy on tour from Kansas City showed up and too begged for a spot. (Seriously, Mark is a great and gracious fellow and deserves free beer.)
Due to the 3-minute time constraint (ok, we set up in 6), we couldn't set up everything.
Here's what we sound like with no guitar effects, computers, or drums other than one snare:
Adventures of Cristobal Pt. 2 - This was actually the last song we played, but it sounded the best. (I love having a bassist!)
It's a Good Thing - I didn't really miss the computer until we hit the bridge of this song...
Happiness - we started off with our ballad because Dave hadn't gotten his drum yet, and this song isn't so dependent on percussion.
No Total Eclipse that night. Gene's still not completely comfortable with it. (Understandably, so! Have you seen the chord progression for that sucker? It's all over the place!)
Tonight, we plan to play in a bell tower. Rawk!
