Show Journal 2005-04-28
I think tonight was honestly one of the best bar shows we’ve ever played. It was also the first time we had ever played Dante’s and I gotta say it was far more packed than I ever could have imagined. The Jacuzzi Bros were first and were pretty damn amusing. Part Tenacious D and part stoner rock, it’s nearly impossible to describe without seeing it first hand. Blackout Radio was second and man I surprised how good they were. Usually when I see a stand up bass on stage, I prepare myself to sit down and be bored to tears. Not the case, because they freaking rocked. We had the main support slot and we’re a little nervous after such a good show by Blackout Radio. Thankfully as we setup the area in front of the stage filled in with people who seemed genuinely excited to see us play. It was so nice to see so many of our friends there standing up front. I probably recognized 30-40 faces in the front area and that is such a good feeling when it happens. The set was fun and we even got to play a few songs we hadn’t played in a while (Waving Goodbye and Dead Air). Dustin did very well and seems to be settling in nicely. I’m sure there a catch with him somewhere … we just have to find it. The Ghoulies were up last and they totally owned it. There were so many people singing and dancing along you would have never guessed it was a 21+ show. They are so likeable it’s almost scary. After the show we said our goodbyes and headed over to Voodoo donuts and called it a night. Big thanks to all our friends who came out to the show. There are way too many of you to thank individually, so take a second to give yourself props. Extra thanks to Dante’s, the Thrasher Presents crew and the Groovie Ghoulies for being one of the coolest bands around.
