Show Journal 2001-06-08
I’m still not quite sure what to think of this show. The first two bands played well and got a decent response from the fairly active and decent sized crowd. However when we played we drove most of the crowd as far away from the stage as possible or some even as far as outside the club. The weird thing is I’m not too sure why though. I thought we played pretty well. Were we too loud? Too old? Too rock? Too ugly? Too many broken strings? Too many of Dave’s jokes? Too many cowboy hats on stage? Maybe all of the above. We never really clicked with the audience … and it’s always a little strange when it happens. Of course our friends who had seen us before all thought things went ok. It definitely wasn’t bad … it was just … weird. Anyway, K Through 6 played after us and managed to wake the crowd back up and they did a really good job playing. I’m a little jealous because I wish I could play that well at that age! The thank you list for this evening includes Kelvis, Sam, Chris, Robert 2/3 of the Peel sisters, Braxton (!) and K Through 6 for hooking us up with the show.
