It’s too nice a day to stay indoors, so this posting’s going to be really quick.
Last night’s gig at the Steam Whistle Brewery went really well. We won over a crowd that was ready to see nothing but emo (for instance, the first band’s songs were all of the “nobody loves me” variety) with waltzes like Sweet Jezebel and Kate-Bush-meets-Billy-Corgan epics like Many Moons. Lindi and the band were in fine form; I really loved the backbeats that our new drummer Devin was playing. The crowd sat up and took notice during the set, after which there was a rush to buy Lindi’s CDs. I got a lot of compliments on the accordion playing and a couple of people came up to me and said “I just want to run out and buy myself an accordion right now!”
It’s a great feeling, finally being a key part of a band’s sound and catching the love from the audience. Thanks, Lindi, for taking a chance on a goofy accordion player.
I’ll post a full set of photos from the gig, including some great shots of Fresh Meat, our friend Tina’s band, soon.
Now I’m going to run outside and get some fresh air.
Have a good April Fools’ Day tomorrow, but be mindful about your pranking.
