Only played Saturday - which was good as I got to spend some time at home. Sandra and I did some things around the house and went over to the "Pride" picnic to hear some caterwalling and eat some mystery meat.
Saturday was a bit of an adventure. Alysha played at Hot Rods in Milton. No one there seemed to know a band had been hired. There was no soundman and the PA was not set up. We had to improvise and managed, though the sound was still rough. There were a ton of line dancers from 25 to 75 years of age. They lined danced in the first set and a half, but obviously just wanted us to finish our last sets so they could hear the blaring, badly balanced canned tunes. Country meets techno - is that what people want? No accounting for taste, I guess. After I went to the Ivy to see if Ray was there - it was still early. 3MDM was playing - I used to sub in for them on occasion a few years back. It was the bass player's birthday (he's really a gtr player) and he was having a pint or a few, so I sat in for the last set. It was a fun jam, too be sure. The talented, but slightly infamous, lead singer let the bass player sing a tune. While the lead singer was out, there was an altercation with a rude/intoxicated audience member and the lead singer fled before the police arrived. 3MDM finished the night with me on bass and the bassist/gtr player singing. Adventure!
3 gigs and a video shoot from Thursday to Sunday this weekend - should be more adventurous times!
