December 1st @ Trash Bar, 2007
When I made my way into the back with the pizzas, make-up half done, gear unloaded, I was so happy to see so many people that I love and adore. One by one everyone showed up to the already packed room and it felt so nice to see everybody and have a chance to relax.
The MP Project went on first and man were they good. Solid rock and roll, nice and loud and danceable. And of course Demetra rocked after us. I've said this before and I'll say it again, Demetra is my favorite New York band besides us. They are SO much fun to watch, so much fun to dance to, I love Jaime's voice, I love watching everybody, Jaime, Danny, Mike and Federico. I love them all and feel really lucky and grateful that I know them. Thank you guys, for playing, for chillin' and for just being the amazing people you are.
Now, as some of you may have noticed we have a different rhythm section. About that, I just want to say first and foremost that Ryan and Saysha are some of my favorite people and I love them both to death. As with all great things, (and great people,) circumstances change and we had to go our separate ways. No hard feelings, no yelling matches, nothing personal. We are all still friends and I have to say that I feel really lucky and grateful for both of them and our experiences together.
Tonight was our second show with Kenny and Derek, two guys we picked up from Staten Island. They're awesome! (And cute too, right Isabelle?) Last weekend we had a "practice" show at Southpaw, (which was excellent by the way, as the four people who showed up can attest to! *grin*) I've got to give these boys props, we've been rehearsing together for about two weeks and in that time they learned a 14 song set and played two shows. Pretty impressive, right?
So last night, what can I say about last night's show? I was nervous. I'm always nervous. But when I sang Basket Case for my sound check and the whole room went silent I was in awe. I knew this was going to be a great night. It already was, but I knew it was just going to get better.
We opened with a mini version of Dark Side, "Changes happen so fast, leaving worlds behind, poetry meant to last, but the bright side is blind," then kicked straight into Guiltless. Then some old favorites with some new twists, (Without You and This Happens.) Untitled was our only new, new song this time. It's about 30 seconds long (not even,) and John played it on guitar for me. It goes like this, "Somewhere out there sits a boy, looking for a girl. All he wants is what she has, all he needs is her. In a quiet room she waits, in her bed she finds, something missing, stars uncrossed, he's all her dreams combined. That which you want, also wants you." That's been my anthem this year and it makes me feel so much better because it reminds me that when things are right, they are right for everyone. Beautiful really.
We broke into our cover of Santeria about halfway through. Kenny and Derek knew that one, (it happens to be my favorite Sublime song because I like to think that he really says, "I don't practice An-der-ea," which doesn't make any sense, I know, but I don't care.) And in the interest of fairness John and I decided that considering Derek and Kenny had to learn 10 songs, we should have to learn at least one. And there it was. John picked up that solo in 3 days. Not bad, eh?
All in all, I had a GREAT time, I thought it sounded amazing and I just had so much fun with the boys and with all of you. I want to thank everyone warmly and sincerely from the bottom of my heart for coming out. Thank you for dancing and for singing and Joseph, you get extra special props for being the loudest person there. :) This show has become a tradition that I really look forward to and I already can't wait for next year.
Until then, enjoy yourselves and your family as we say hello and good-bye to yet another year. Happy holidays everybody!
