Yes...we played at a place called "Jitterbug's"
Hello everyone! I know it's been awhile but we haven't been busy enough for me to write a blog...and it is hard to write a blog when you loose the password to this thing. As the title indicates we have played at a place called "Jitterbug's" and it wasn't so bad. We all headed up there around 6 and we got there for 9ish. The atmosphere was Urban Cowboy to the T. The crowd was a healthy mix of pressed Wrangler jeans and high school seniors. There was also one guy who looked like he was transported from the 1970 Boston Marathon. He as sporting those super short jogging shorts and some striped socks, which caught Marty's eye real quick. The event itself was a battle of the bands. Tyson booked this gig with the knowledge that we would take this place's money. In fact he told the guy "You better have our money ready....because we're going to take it.", and sure enough we did. We won a smooth 1000 G for 12 minutes worth of playing. The rest of the acts were heavy screaming rock bands which I'm sure didn't sit well with the judges. The very last band just refused to stop playing and it was awesome. First they turned off the mic, then the PA, then the power, and finally they got bouncers up on stage to throw them off. All in all we had a great time and the thousand dollars was just icing on the cake.This coming week for us is booked solid with awesome gigs. Thursday we have the much anticipated Dave Chappelle gig, Friday has us playing at the Rhythm Room, and Saturday we make our first run to Lubbock. LBP is back on track for the summer and look to see us doing lots of things in and out of town...join the crew and make it out.
