"It's been a LONG time!..."

Last time I entered a posting here, we were preparing for our debut at SNOWZEE'S! That went quite well and now we're prepping for our return engagement on October 15th.

In between that time, we played a "live on the lawn" show at Gallery 38 in Turners Falls and "other outdoor show"—ARTSfest in Northfield, MA. Both shows, too went quite well! The former—our first outdoor gig where we had to be our own sound crew and the latter—our first show with a substitute palyer—drummer, A.J. Lapinski.

Like I said, both shows rocked—we were quite pleased.

But I wanted to post about something more than just an update.

Last night at Band Camp, we worked on two new original songs to debut are our next show at SNOWZEE'S. And listening to the play back this morning, I could help but think of the days of 45 rpm records. If we were a band back then, we would take Sonia's groovy-blues-based song, "FREE TABLE" and record it as our A side. My straight-ahead "old rock n' roll" ode to "TEN LITTLE INDISCREET LOVERS" would serve as the B side.

Well, such was my little daydream on the way into work...

Maybe you should come check 'em out on Friday October 15th, yes?
