Tonight's show was put on by the music site ItMusic.us. In some corners of the inter-webs it was promoted as "June for Junebug," because, well, our band name has the word June in it. We have taken advantage of this coincidence in the past ourselves (e.g., Junestravaganza and Junetacular). 

We have often had this idea, when we've played the Nomad in the past, to play a short, sweet, energetic set. We had that idea going in tonight, too. It would have worked if we hadn't been plagued by minor technical issues. There were a few breaks for tuning, and most notably, at one point Dustin had to go to the mic and announce, "Our drummer fell over."

The troll under the banner

Yes, boys and girls, sometimes drum thrones fall apart. And sometimes drummers fall down. The first clue was when Anthony counted off a song in which the drums come in first and nothing happened, because, well, I was literally on the floor. But being the consummate professional I am, I repaired my equipment on the spot and everything was all good. Anthony told the crowd that we'd send an apology card in the mail at a later time. He then backtracked and stated that this was just the extended intro to the song. But then, we nailed it. We rocked it good.

Rockin' the Nomad.

Aside from those issues, it was a pretty solid little set. I do like playing the Nomad. The space seems very conducive to rock and roll as long as there are people there, like there were tonight.

Tonight was a special night because we all got to meet Dillon's mom who was in attendance. Mary was a welcome guest.

Also appearing were Aitas, The Dang Ol' Tri'Ole, and Little Star - a really fantastic guitar and cello duo.

'Til next time, Nomad, Thanks and good night.
