Oops...........
So last night (10/29/04), local Houston jam band Blendt held a party for their first studio release at The Rhythm Room and asked LBP to open up the evening.It was a very memorable night..............................for Blendt.
Sometimes, no matter how much love, energy, focus or "whatever" you put into a set, it just doesn't work out. Although the night was fun, the vibe was good and the crowd seemed like they had a great time, we felt like we played well below the bar that we normally set for ourselves. There were some very cool moments but a lot of silly mistakes (which are out of character for us). If it were a football game the stats would be something like - 2 touchdowns, 4 interceptions and 3 fumbles (that's a loss every time). It's so weird how bad shows happen, it's like catching the flu, there's nothing you can do - just take your medicine and ride it out.
I guess we didn't drink enough or maybe we drank too much or Beatty had too many Red Bulls or Marc was thinking about his new puppy or it was the sound man's fault or there was an eclipse or Marty was pissed that he was missing the Peanut's Halloween Special or Tyson's pool is dirty or Phyve's t-shirt was too tight or Mt. Saint Helens was erupting or Conrad was trying to decide if voting for Nader is really that good of an idea or Ashley's lip sync tape fucked up................. or maybe it was my fault (no - that's just silly).
Now Blendt on the other hand had a great night - a pretty good size crowd, a few costumes and a lot of energy. Good for them, I hope they enjoyed themselves and sold some CD's.
So anyway it's back to work next week (3 gigs - including a live 90.1 KPFT radio show on Friday and we headline Last Concert Cafe on Saturday).
(Marc gave me a hard time about the way I spell "thanx")
So...........
THANX again to Blendt for asking us to open,
THANX to everyone who came out,
THANX for reading my silly little Blog,
and THANX as always for your support,
