show dread

"it's called a nightcap"
*smashes it over drunk guys head*

^ why I don't play folk music anymore

that's better than "can i hit your drum? hey, can i hit your drum?"

I have a concert on Sunday in which we are doing this song:

it's going to be a hot mess, or maybe it will all come together at the last minute, I dunno

the club also arbitrarily pushed back the start of the music by an hour, literally minutes after we were talking about how we liked playing there because they're so professional

just rock it, DJP

that song is sick, btw

there's a video of a high school choir doing it from memory with random choreography:

it is a fucking badass song when it works and a trainwreck and a half when it doesn't

haha yes i can believe that

omg @ that video

lol I know, right?

awesome

yessss

random choreography indeed! the boys stage right doing the beavis dance at :53 is great.

i'm in a band with some guys i know from high school, and this OTHER guy we knew from high school who is kind of a trainwreck, he's kind of got mental problems and he's an alcoholic, well, whenever he comes to our shows he makes a big spectacle of himself, saying things like "okay guys well i'm going to that OTHER show now, but you shouldn't care cuz i payed my cover" or "hey you guys see the members of the band you're opening for over there in the bar, they suck haha" etc in the lulls between songs, and i have learned to dread any show that he rsvps on facebook to.

Down here in the hinterland, the shite I dread is having to play gigs where you have to drag the PA to play a gig. The amps and such you got to do, but the PA on top is kind of a pain. Bars with live music are a bit more hit and miss like this in the sticks. The shows are usually pretty good and some we actually get a decent crowd over a night, but it is a whole lot more work.

last band of a four-band bill on a monday night = show dread
at least i took tuesday off work
