Fat Strings

So we played in the finals this weekend. Let' just say it was everything that I expected. A bunch of high school aged kids and their parents rooting them on. There was even a band that had their moms buying up a bunch of tickets just so their kids band would play later.......Not only did these bands have no talent, they couldn't even tune their own instruments, all the while there were about 50-60 kids chanting their name and going nuts....REALLY???:confused: It's just sad to think that anyone could railroad their friends into listening to that crap. Now don't get me wrong, I strive to find the good in everything but Jesus, there was nothing there! I really gave the majority of these bands a fair shot, and I admit I did hear a few things that I liked, but for the most part it was all crap. Now as far as our performance, we felt like it was the best that we have played to date. We went up there with the attitude that we were just going to have fun, and not care about the outcome. What a difference that made! Such an awesome feeling! We had the owner by the stage the whole time moving his head to the music, we had the sound guy movin', hell, even the bouncer was diggin' what we had goin' on! We made a few connections that night we should be hookin' up with a promoter/booking agency this week. The bouncer called his contact there as we were playing to let them know about us. He seemed sincerely excited about our sound and couldn't wait to work with us.....so all and all, it was a good time. Sorry for the mini rant about the other bands. I don't normally bash other peoples music, and I'm not trying to convey that I think our stuff is awesome and everyone else there just sucked. It was just the fact of padding the ticket sales of a mediocre band that got my fire lit! So anyway, moving on from this. We have a gig this weekend and we're planning on packing the house for this one. Should be a solid turn out and if we continue with the attitude we had from the battle, I think that we're going to do well there also! We'll be playing with a band that we've become pretty good friends with called Code Vain. You can hear there stuff here http://www.myspace.com/codevain
