Gig Review: March 18, 2009
Gig Review March 19th, 2009Last night’s gig at the Trash Bar in Brooklyn was hot. I’m not referring to the set itself (though that was good), but the temperature on the stage. I mean that it was literally hot on stage. Really hot. DAMN HOT! I recommend that any band there play in t-shirts and shorts. I, of course, was in a long sleeve shirt and jeans. Bad idea, Elmer.
Here are some pictures:

Our first foray into Brooklyn (as a band) was a success. We got some nice reviews after the show and I was especially happy to hear that my backup singing did not suck. Singing in a falsetto is not something I do especially often, so I was glad to hear that I pulled it off.
The band on before us was Money/Paper/Hearts. I caught their last four songs and really liked what I heard. Though their myspace page has a few songs, I don’t think that it captured the raw sound they have on stage. That is not to say that their recordings are bad, just different. Live, I would describe them as a cross between the Sex Pistols and Weezer. Their recording sounds like a cross between The Cars and Green Day.
After the show, I was chatting with the bassist for Grande. Nice guy. Check out the band. Not bad.
