Title: Last Gig/Next Gig thread
Post by: Danny G on August 25, 2013, 09:55:12 AM
A companion to the Last Show/Next Show thread in GD.


Last gig:

played bass with Forever Town (modern rock/metal) last night at Headhunters. My first gig in Austin since mid May. Set went well and was well received. God I have missed my SVT

Next gig:

Playing a Planet Casper matinee this afternoon at the Continental Club.

The legendary Casper Rawls has been doing this residency for 6 years with a rotating cast of name players, a different lineup each week. He asked Rick Hornyak (whom I just toured WI and PA with) to do one and "bring your band."

This will be a huge honor and a blast, and hope it leads to more work as I am not currently playing with anyone full time, and bills don't pay themselves...

yep, lacquers on their way to the press.  Artwork is done, we received the reference acetate last week and listened to it.  All coming together for once.  Next we need to get the CDs done, but that should be a 3 week process.  plenty of time for the release show.

hawaiian band, memorial is for some hawaiian lady. I was afraid theyd want sad hawaiian songs (are there any?) but its a regular set of hula tunes and a couple ballads. Im barely able to cope with the new tuning. last gig the singer threw me a solo by surprise/mistake. i had to improvise. It was actually fun to be in danger like that. I survived it.

Cool!

Trial by fire shot can be great for your self confidence/mojo—if ya can pull it off, that is.

EDIT: For me, last gig was back in October of 2012. The band I had recently joined had basically already fired the singer, but he didn't know that (at least for sure). The rest of 'em made me swear to secrecy. Result:

The vibe sucked, I sucked, everybody else sucked, & the whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth. *ptooey!*

Next: Somewhere, some time after I pull my head outta my ass? Probably solo acoustic.

last show: nearly a year ago; august 30th, 2012.

next show: not yet scheduled.

same band's been together the whole time, playing weekly, writing and 'polishing' shit, planning some recording...we'll get there eventually. five shows in four years, seems like shows aren't something we focus on too much. we've all got a lot of other shit going on too, so there's that.
