The Show at the Harmony Grange with BoySetsFire
Well, we did it and the show was a blast. The paid crowd for the night was 409 people. Of that number, I'd say probably 150 were watching us as the first act.
Chad and Josh from BoySetsFire were extremely kind and let Ian and Collin use their massively nice amp setups, so we could rock out the hall, because the sound man was not going to mic the amps. Making use of the power that the new setup afforded us, we launched the show with a driving version of Fanatic, then segued into All Our Hands, a new song called You Don't Know My Name, played a rocking version of As Much, and then finished things up nice and sweet with As Simple as It Seems. The stage was very large, and I think we made good use of it. The best thing for me was that I knew that we belonged on that stage. We had the talent, the passion, the music to make us worthy of being there.
Overall, I was extremely happy with the reaction we had. About 9 or 10 different people approached me after the set to tell me they really enjoyed it, and liked out sound. We added some people to our mailing list, sold some merchandise. We even got paid, which was unexpected. Pretty cool of Harry from Project Unity to pay us, when we didn't require that. $100 for a 20 minute set. Money for nothin' and the chicks for free. . . well except for the chicks part.
Shane videotaped the high energy set, which clocked in at 20 minutes 45 seconds, and maybe we'll post some selected highlights for those with broadband access. . .
For those of you who attended, THANKS, we completely appreciate the continued support. For BoySetsFire, THANKS MUCH, and of course you rocked your set and we had a great time watching it. Nathan, man, next time there isn't a one-armed man in the audience though before you make comments about one-armed men! Shane taped some of the BSF show too, so maybe we'll post some clips or something.
