Thanks so much to all of you who came out to the show last night at Mercury Lounge. The show was sold out to capacity, and we only have you to thank for it! Team Genius and Xylos played awesome sets, and we’re so grateful we got to be a part of of such a solid lineup. Extra thanks to their fans who happened to come a little bit early in the night and who happened to enjoy us! We really had a great time playing and debuting two new songs for you… leave us a comment and let us know what you thought.
We also want to give a huge thanks to the spectacular Mr. Jim Altieri for accompanying us on accordion and violin. Not only is he a multi-talented instrumentalist, but he’s also a phenomenal composer. He wrote all the string arrangements on our album “God Bless Your Weary Soul, Amanda Richardson,” and it was so great to have him up on stage with us interpreting those parts on new instruments. Check out his new music compositions and other projects at his website, HERE. Also check out his sick John Cage tattoo.
Now, some of you up in the front row last night may have noticed it before she did, but about halfway through “The Lament of Coronado Brown,” the brushes of Jocelyn’s right snare brush simply fell out of their handle. The brush literally disintegrated in her hands. The only proper response to this… WHAT THE?! As a novice drummer, Jocelyn was completely perplexed. Have any of you drummers ever experienced this? And what can we do to prevent this sort of thing from happening again? Leave us a comment below with your ideas… any technique pointers or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated!
Lastly, big ups to DJ Jazzy Jon Clark on omnichord during “I Can’t See Anything.” That dude can’t see anything without his glasses.
