I reconned the area a week before, so I expected to be generally ignored by people having bar conversation.  I did not expect the level of disorganization, however. 

Before the set:

Band that was supposed to play before me showed up late and decided not to play

Owner didn’t show up with a mixing board until two minutes before my set time.  Practically zero venue support.  I had been scrambling around with my friends trying to find a way to get sound going for half an hour.  Came pretty close to running my sound through a guitar amp.

During the set:

Buck Hunter arcade game being played three feet away from me.

A guy came up onstage to scope out my laptop and APC.

Old lady stood in front of me and danced.

A guy came up and invited me to compete in a beat battle days later; asked for my contact info as I’m in the middle of playing.

This bar is half of the same building space.  The other half has a DJ/Hip hop vibe, and they have live stuff happening at the same time.  During my show I could hear rap beats booming in.

The band after me (good friend, also) decided not to play.  They were happy about it.  It kinda bummed me out, but I feel good about stepping out and fulfilling my obligations despite the obvious fact the bar didn’t give a crap

Hum - The Pod

I love the way this sounds. No funny business or studio tomfoolery, just a band playing a kickass song. I’m aiming for a sound similar to this for the next thing.

Last night I had the pleasure of appearing on a local public access show on Channel Austin with my friend Kazki. I had spent quite a few hours over the last week preparing/rehearsing/fretting, but it turns out that the majority of the hour long show is spent showing footage from previous shows and recordings. There was a pretty big time crunch on Kazki and I as far as playing songs, but we did alright. I had a great time and the show’s three man team were very cool to us and expressed interest in taping the show next week. They really liked the duet Kazki and I performed for his song (Spider String), so we played it again a few more times so they could get good footage to show later and put on Youtube.

Successful night
