how you say? aaaah yes.... SHOW - 2004-12-19 12:47 a.m.
last week was fucked. i was working 12 hour shifts, plus practising 3 hours a night for a show on thursday. i was averaging about 3 hours of sleep a night. anyways, it was worth it, we played to a packed house(about 250 people?). and we played well, i think. gah, this band is awesome. i have no idea how i lucked into this. they're super talented, and awesome people and i'm happy working my ass off to keep up. but i rocked the bass and then i rocked the trumpet. i also got all sweaty and my glasses slid down my nose while i played a lot. it made for some interesting games, like "catch the falling glasses in your mouth in the middle of the chorus" and "play bass with your head tilted way back so the glasses in your mouth stay there". really crappy games. but damn i had a blast. i saw a few good friends i hadn't seen in a while, and then people i didn't know said lots of randomly complimentary things, and i blushed suitably. more shows in january. including one at the drake where we'll be playing the soundtrack to the royal tenenbaums. now that the show is out of the way, i'm immersing myself in learning the parts to all these new songs. the trumpet part in wigwam is deceptive. and the nico song is gonna sound fucking sweet with moog. goodnight. |
