report on the show at thee parkside last night
so we finally played thee parkside last night. it came about when a week or so ago, and old co-worker of mine from the jazz club, Patricia, called me up and asked if we wanted to play a gig with her new band and a friend of her's that would be stopping though town while on tour. anyway, her new band, We've Been Robbed, played first. a bit of a mix of 90s alterna-indie rock, their first song reminded me a lot of the breeders. it was their first gig, and they had only just found a drummer a few days prior. but they were good, showed lots of potential once they get their sound tight!
we played second, our set was:
don't you want to play with me?
do you wanna mess around?
dead flowers
fear of death
sing pretty or die!
mongoloid (mangled and fucked up)
the escapist
you don't love me anymore
birthday suit
anal fixation
we started off real strong, btw this was our first show as a quartet. nick and jessica were at the show and nick was like, wait what bands is this? during the 2nd and 3rd songs. dead flowers is a new song that corey just wrote less than a week ago, and we're gonna fast track recording it in the next couple of days before he gets bored of it, haha. anyways, we were doing alright, but kinda stumbled through the bridge of our other new song, sing pretty or die! then david in the audience was like, play mongoloid, and so corey started the riff, and off we went even though we had already decided we weren't doing it cuz jimo didn't remember the chords and i couldn't remember all of the words. it was kind of a sucky rendition. anyway, we came back strong for the rest of the set and then got the hell off of the stage. c.gibbs played last and he did his folk type thing with acoustic guitar, a fuzz pedal, a looper, and some kind of wood block he hit with his foot to make a bass drum sound. he was really good! i mean the lyrics i didn't really pay attention to, but the guitar playing was very good and fun to watch. he was a super nice guy too.
anyway, our next show is in two weeks at kimos on tommi's birthday. we're playing with DADFAG and New Killer Daze (who we share our rehearsal space with). it'll be fun i think!
