The Fonz Posted October 7, 2005 Author Share Posted October 7, 2005 hell yeah! we had a crappy rehearsal tonight, complete with an attempted re-arrangement of a song we just can't get right. this crappy rehearsal had everything: the room was disgustingly hot (at least 15 degrees hotter than than the hall) and humid, we weren't feeling any grooves at all, the guitar player and i were out of tune for half the rehearsal, my hand cramped 10 minutes in, and the singer was laying eggs left and right. and we all know what that means... Eeeeeehhhhhhhhh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getz out Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Good show, E. The opening acts were... different. Bed time for Maury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraub Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Wow, Maury, I'm surprised you posted before bed. I was not that... functional. It was a good set, kids. Modern Electric brought the rocque, and despite some minor technical glitches and a very, very late start, the bar had a good time, even with the ...interesting opening acts. Ace had some seemingly Hartke-related tone issues, but the band works well together and pulled it off. The tunes are kinda heavy with cool riffs, right up my alley. And Jeff, the lead singer (who is also a bass player) is a watchable presence on stage, and can actually sing some too. Seriously, it sounded good. Really good. I will attend another show or two, I think. School night or not. Between Maury and myself, I think over 200 pics were taken of the roughly 40 minute set. I'll post some asap.

The Fonz Posted October 9, 2005 Author Share Posted October 9, 2005 let me extend my thanks ot the photojournalists in the crowd. the band has been looking for some pr-type photos and we got a few doozies there. i thought for sure i was gonna get fired afterwards, i feel like i played like ass. but everyone seems to think it went well and that my problems were more of the technical variety. overall, the show had me feeling good. i would say that the bands before us were cover bands for the middle aged set, but that would be a slap in the face to our noble capasso whos band kicks ass. the bands before us were playing lots of moody blues stuff and really trying hard but it was clear that their lives get in the way a bit much. met bob, the dude who owns "the studio" (our rehearsal spot and the people who promote this show when it happens). he gave us a very enthusiastic intro and sign off... something he hadn't done for the bands before. and he made a point of being energetic when seeking us out and greeting us. a good sign i think. seems like the guys at our rehearsal place have a little faith in our version of le rocque. hopefully a good sign. Eeeeeehhhhhhhhh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Capasso Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Glad it went well overall. That means it only gets better. And now I know what to do if I ever get a cab I don't like The photos look great, and I am curious as to why the high microphone placement - opening the throat? Keep rockin!
