Friday was the first date for SG's Dive Bar Tour. The week prior had been completely filled with stress and tension between close folks in life. It was a very difficult week to say the least. We ended up playing 4 or 5 new songs and two old new songs and two current songs. One of our speaker cables refused to do it's job which left our sound much more at the mercy of the house PA than I would prefer. I was having a very difficult time with it in the beginning, but about half way through it occurred to me that there are very few bands that would go so far out of their way to place themselves very near the edge of failure, even when the other side of the line is success. It felt like playing for the first time again, how often do you get to feel like a virgin?
Saturday was a hoe down and hoagie and kim's in Malibu, what a wonder filled day/evening it was. Devin and I woke up a tad late but still arrived early enough to help hoagie set up sound equipment in an empty pool, where our band was to perform and where a revolving throng of mad musical science acts would create waterless waves deep into the night. Many strange and interesting folks attended. I chose to interlope for most of the evening, making wide circles and stealing snatches of conversation, sometimes i'm just like that.
SG played with low end aid from Hoagie Hill, who will incorrectly have people believe he somehow mucked up our sound.. It was actually a great deal of fun and excitement to have Hoagie sitting in. It made the set for me. Really makes me want to have a bass player.
Soon we will get to hear the solar city remix of Slut Buffet.
