I am a little late on reporting on our Old Curtis Street Pub gig, so I thought I would do something a little different. I am going to write some observations from the stage and while many of them directly reference the Old Curtis Street Pub show, I am not going to directly review that show. Instead you can check out the set list at the bottom. Hopefully we play there again soon.
- There is nothing better than having strangers compliment you on an original or having strangers dancing while you are playing your originals.
- Playing originals is more rewarding, scary, and mentally draining than doing covers.
- Playing covers is fun though too.
- The worst feeling is indifference. Cheer, boo, whatever, but indifference cuts through
- Making it in the music business means you have a roadie.
- Cleaning up after a gig SUCKS.
- Monitors that work are amazing.
- Jager is the best shot for a stage. It goes down quick, doesn't leave a horrible feeling in the throat/stomach and works quick.
- Jager is not good for a flawless gig. The number of errors late in a set increases proportionally to the number of shots of Jager early in the set.
- It's hard to jump, dance, play and sing. You do get out of breath. There is no question most people who dance and sing lip-sync. I am sure of that.
- Denver has a cool local scene, anyone who claims otherwise doesn't go out much.
- PBR really is the best beer to drink on stage. Dark beers/IPA's are not good to chug quick between songs. PBR fits that perfectly.
- We really do have as much fun as it looks. It's the time we get to act like kids.
