Bang A Rang!

So last night Bothan Spies and I performed at a local bar. It's nice to be playing out again. We took a few months off as a new member joined the band, and the results have been magnificent. Our new songs our sounding great and I really feel like there's some great chemistry between the four of us on stage. I'm really looking forward to the future for us.

So the show last night went well. It was a pretty damp and cold night here on Long Island, and of course it didn't help that the bar we were playing at, Katies of Smithtown, is supposedly haunted. Apparently there some ghost named "Charlie" that plays some pranks on the owners and patrons of the bar. This actually led to the bar being featured on the A&E show Paranormal State.

Anywho....So the show went well. We played first and other than a few little mishaps (including a drum stick flying out of my hand; I blame "Charlie") our set went well. Following us a really great band by the name of The Woolgathering played. They were all incredible musicians and really brought to mind bands like Hella and The Advantage. Following The Woolgathering our friends in Commissariat played. This was both their demo release show and their last show in awhile. It seems that Niq, the leader of the group is going to South Korea for a year to teach English. Pretty crazy.


It was a nice show. Good tunes. Good Brews (check out Blue Point Winter Ale, very excellent choice). Good Friends.

That's all. I'm going to enjoy my lazy Sunday afternoon.
