Dear readers,
We had our first show in a while tonight and it was pretty sweet. Except we left the North Shore far too late and then hit traffic on the way to Suncook, NH. We got there 45 minutes late which obviously means that instead of having some other band go first, they waited until we got there and then made us play first. The show was supposed to start at 8 but I think it was more like 8:20 and we weren't able to sound check at all. Oh well.
We had a decent set and it was really fun. There were at least 3 people over the age of 34 there which is always a plus for us. None of the kids these days like our ambient sound. They were all there for the hardcore bands. I don't blame them. I went through that phase myself. I have a theory that might get me in trouble which is that there are very few people who actually LIKE hardcore music. Now, I'm not saying that no one does and if you honestly do, that's very valid. But you can't tell me that you're really listening to the music when you're trying to beat the crap out of someone while trying not to get your crap beat out of you. It's probably impossible to pay attention to both things at once. Anyway, that's my take on it.
My favorite of the night was probably The Wellspring Embrace. We're buds with one of the guitarists and they had a sweet set. Sweet enough to buy a T-shirt I thought. Very cool ambient worship stuff. I think worship done well is some of the most amazing music that is created. I hope we can play more with them in the future.
Well thanks for reading. Any questions, comments, suggestions, or whatever: feel free to leave us a message on myspace or something.
