Thursday night was full of great surprises! Not only was the place packed when we arrived, but my friend Amy from Trauma Team (who booked the first ever Stewart show) was there taking pictures for another band and agreed to take pictures for us too (awesome,) my buddy Sean from Nefarious Bovine Radio (who I haven’t seen in way too long) showed up, and so many of our friends made it out on such short notice. Thank you!
We found out we were doing this show on Sunday, hence the short notice, hence also why I was so surprised that so many people came! (I just like saying "hence.") We do miss playing in Manhattan and Arlene’s is a new favorite of mine- I had no idea that place was so rockin’! I mean... I knew, because I had heard, but now I know because it’s such a fun place to play too.
The vibe was just right, everyone was the perfect amount of drunk and happy and we just let it rip. I got to play my old guitar that I just got fixed, (the first electric guitar I’ve ever owned) which was awesome! I missed that guitar so much. About halfway through the set Iggy went nuts dancing and poured beer all over us and brought us all back to the 70s scene in the lower east side. For all those who haven’t met him- don’t be afraid of Iggy. He’s just trying to have a good time and cheers us up considerably. We love him.
We played a bunch of new songs from our newest recording and even one that is so brand new we’ve never played it before. It’s called "Don’t Know Why" and it’s my favorite. (But then again, the new ones are always my favorites...) I unfortunately didn’t see Tony and Mark there so we refrained from doing "Dark Side" which was, I admit, a mistake. Never fear! Next time we’ll make it happen, I promise. It’s such a fun song. :)
That’s all really. I posted some pictures from the show and a couple of the songs from our newest recording session with Kenny and Derek. Yay! I’m so proud of them, I think they sound great and I hope you do too.
We’ve got a bunch more shows coming up for everyone- April 1st at Goodbye Blue Monday. Which, for all of you who know her, our beloved Betty Racecar is moving to the West Coast next month and we’re playing this show as a going away party for her. So if you can please, please, please come out and say goodbye to one of our favorite people. She is such a sweetheart and will be severely missed!
We’ve also got our huge "Swing Into Spring" Prohibition Party May 3rd at the Luna Lounge. It’s a themed costume party with all kinds of great stuff including swing dancing, gambling, burlesque shows, great bands and more! There’s even a password for cheaper admission. How speakeasy is that?
Anyway, thanks again guys for coming out. We had a blast, as always, and hope you did too!
Until next time...
Set List:
-Without You
-This Happens
-Consider Me Gone
