Open Mic Night!

We had hella fun! Even though i spent the whole day beforehand being overly nervous it went very well. The host was a friend of ours and he made it very relaxed and fun for us. He promoted us beforehand as a 'featured artist' on the FB page and on craigslist too!

The one song i was obsessing over i did fine, the one i knew in my sleep i fumbled but unless you really knew the song you prolly couldn't tell i was playing the wrong thing. One other the drummer launched too fast, but i have two bass patterns for that so i went with the simpler one

and was fine. It's nice to be comfortable enough to able gel and adjust. A friend who plays bass with a working band came, it was nice to have someone thinking positive for me, that i knew would come hug me and tell me i was great afterwards. For our very first time 'playing out' it was a great experience! They wants to know when we want to come back. :-)

I know, it's been a while...

I guess i haven't taken the time to write much lately, it's been quite a while. I've been making more of an effort to be off the computer in the evenings and concentrate on music and family lately. I'ts going well. Match says for the amount of time I don't practice I'm doing well enough. Part of it though, is that i just have too many things I'm working on right now and i just get distracted. We played at the Rhythm Fire Xmas party in December and that was a lot of fun...We've been adding some new songs to the band playlist and exploring different styles we're enjoying. The last one we added we didn't find much TAB online to Aaron and I figured out most of it, including a different bass line for me from what he was playing. It's been fun learning more about music and learning how to improvise on the TAB we do find. It doesn't hurt that Aaron can figure some stuff out by ear either. We finally decided we're ready to try an Open Mic night, and will be tackling that on the 8th. It's a small one, and we know the guy running it so we're hoping it will be cool.
