Rockers,
So of course I exaggerated yesterday when I mentioned that we were going to killed by a horde of hard-rockers in New Bedford. However, we did think we were going to be the unwanted odd fish out on last night's bill.
Well, people, nothing could have been farther from the truth. Although we were definitely the anomaly of the show, the people of southern Massachusetts greeted us with open arms. It turned out to be a rock-ass rock show and we met some really cool people.
We tend to forget it sometimes, but suburban type shows can often be a lot more rewarding than some shows at "big" city venues. Although we have simply the best fans in the world who faithfully come out in Boston and New York, there's always those people who stand at the bar being completely jaded and scowling. And that can be a tough thing as a performer, especially when you're working so hard to reach everyone. But in surburban shows, there's a lot less hipness and a lot more appreciation for your efforts. Plus, suburban clubs don't have the benefit of location and they usually make up for it with a fantastic sound system. I think last night was one of our best sounding shows in a long time. Ron the soundman rocks, folks.
Anywho, we are now revved up and breathing fire for our Lizard show tomorrow. I will see you there.
