Catch up

Hiya folks!

Sorry it's been sooo long since the last post. Matt, Jesse and I have been bustin' our asses for the past month or so trying to finalize the demos we recorded and workin' on our set for the charity show we played this past Saturday, April 26th, up in Placerville.

By way of Matt's step mom (in law), Tobela was asked to play at the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society benefit show this past weekend. As we figured it would be a great way to pop our performing cherry we gladly obliged. We played about a 50 minute set out in the gorgeous sunshine and while there was no pay (I mean, c'mon...it's a benefit!) we were very graciously given great BBQ and beer. Quite a bit of the performance was captured on video by Matt's wife Jodi and I hope to post some of the clips, either here and/or on our myspace page, soon.

For anyone interested here was our set list (lead vocals in parenthesis):
  • Simple Things (Matt)
  • Brighter Day (Matt)
  • Wait (Jesse)
  • Oh Angeline! (Alex)
  • Another Day (Matt)
  • Brighter Kind of Life (Alex)
  • Better Things to Do (Jesse) - which we forgot to play!!!
  • Mellow Mood (Matt) - Bob Marley cover
  • Standing in Line (Alex) and for our encore....
  • Cats (Jesse)
The crowd seemed to really enjoy themselves and we even had a couple of invites to do other shows up there. All in all it was quite a fun day....

More news (including a possible new member....again) coming soon!!
