April Show-ers
Posted by tyler | Filed under Uncategorized
Last night we had our first show in months. We competed in a battle of the bands contest down at the Hard Rock downtown Indy. We didn’t win. I didn’t even check to see where we stood with the judges since only one band can move on. Congratulations to Henry French and the Shameless, the winners of last night’s contest. They’ll be competing against The Last Good Year next week to see whose video will go on hardrockcafe.com. So if you’re a fan of local Indianapolis music, go to the hard rock website in a few weeks and vote for one of those bands.
Like I said, it was our first show in a few months, and we had what seemed to be the biggest and loudest turnout out of all the bands. I think we performed well, but my only judgment came from the crowd reaction since I couldn’t hear anything on stage at all. The one band (us) who got a sound check sounded like someone was mixing our stage mix with their feet.
As soon as I saw who the judges were, I thought the writing might have been on the wall for us. No need to have a pop rock band threaten the Hard Rock image of the sponsor.
I do want to thank the Hard Rock Cafe and Mark Dubec for giving us the opportunity to be a part of a great opportunity. They were great to us all night with the free beer and food revolving door all night.Very hospitable. Thanks to everyone who showed up to watch us play. It’s good knowing that we’re still worth seeing (even though it was free) after taking some time off.
All in all, it was a good night. Good people showed up, and I think I speak for everyone in the band that it was a good “return” for the band – even though we didn’t win.
Next up: I’m playing a solo show at Birdy’s on Wed April 15 with Amy Duke. So come out and watch us.
April 18 – We’re playing a benefit show at MoJoe’s Coffehouse in Indy.
See you then,
