This was a project by our friends Jason & Terry. Luckily, they needed a band and we were up for making a video. I know I’m pleased with the results!
Ernie and the Berts owes these cats some thanks as well as Jonathan and Naveed for starring along with Jason & the band… and Erin and Lynn for giving up their house for a day.
Almost forgot, Brendan for helping us record this thing & his patience!
Hopefully, you dig the song and the video. We’re (of course) interested in your thoughts/critique/reviews/compliments/criticisms/etc.!
I know I had a blast, hopefully everyone in attendance did too. This show felt great. My “being in a band again” nerves or jitters or whatever they were are gone. I wasn’t thinking about what I was playing… I was thinking about goofing around and being entertaining. Hopefully it payed off. I need to remember to tape my cords to the floor so I don’t unplug my pedal. Ha ha.
Photos from my camera, shots of Ernie and the Berts taken by Lynn Payne. The other band is Vagora, shots of them taken by me. Thumbs below take you to the individual shots at Photobucket, or try these links…
So, I’m in a band again. We’ve only been jamming for a short while now, but the chaos is already well underway. We decided to play an open stage night before we were ready, just because we could. I dig this momentum/vibe. Plus, I got to break out the FlipOut guitar for its first show! I didn’t realize how much I miss gigging out. It’s addictive.
As far as a style, it’s still taking shape… but right now it’s stripped down punk/rock/pop, and it’s sloppy. We’ll have some covers, some originals, whatever we feel like as time goes on, I guess. Most importantly, we’re having fun. If you’ve seen a handful of local ‘Burgh bands in the past 10 years, chances are you’ll recognize all the players here.
And, there are a few photos (thanks again to Bethany)…
I also have to say that I also learned that the Thunderbird Cafe in Lawrenceville is awesome. It’s a great room, it has a menu devoid of shellfish, and the crowd was a nice mellow mix form all walks of life. While I’m at it, host band Craig King & CBG Connection were awesome dudes. They were very welcoming, and they rocked the place out with some funk/blues/rock/jazz insanity.
