Busy week musically
Posted: 20 Sep 2011 01:50
For the last five months I have been filling in with a second band that has me playing Friday/Saturday nights in a local bar. We just did the usual weekend followed by two different shows on Labour day. . the daytime was supposed to be an outdoor bbq for a local union picnic (moved indoors due to rain) and then that night at a different bar as a test to our drawing capability ... both went well, but it made for a long day setting up and moving gear twice, although the money was nice.
Anyway, the second bar liked us so much that they have hired us to play this Wednesday/Thursday .. followed by the usual bar on Friday/Saturday. And then on top of this, my band was just hired to play one of the largest, non-NYE parties of the year this Saturday - tickets are $40. We have been trying to get this gig for a couple of years now, and they just called and confirmed yesterday - The downside which you may have noticed is I am already booked with the second band, so I have to find someone to sub for me there.
For this show we are trying out some new PA speakers and the bass player just bought some used lights, so all in all we are pretty stoked, although I am going to be beat as I finish work at 7pm and start playing at 9pm. ..
