This was our fourth in a series of four shows in a row this week. Tonight was the Rising Sounds Local Band Showcase. Rising Sounds is a show on Cities Live Internet Radio. We've been guests on the show before and we recently wrote and recorded an opening theme song for them. So when Dickey and C-Love ("champions of local music" as Nick said) told us they were putting together a local band showcase at the Fine Line, we were all over it. In fact, for the second song of the set, we decided to play the aforementioned theme song. It lasts eighteen seconds, so why not.
Tonight was really laid back. The crowd was medium sized and we knew that everyone was there for a good time. We felt a very conversational vibe tonight. The crowd talked to us, we talked to them. It was all very familiar and nice. So when I (tony) completely disregarded the setlist and started "Last Night" at the completely wrong place, and was then taken aback when Anthony started the actual next song, everyone was very forgiving.
"Crossroads" was again dedicated to the lovely and departed Farrah Fawcett tonight. But before we got a chance for that, Dustin said that the next tune, "Poet (Who Didn't Know It)" would going out to our fallen brother who was a poet and didn't know it, Billy Mays. Now this upset me greatly, and I said that I don't know if I can handle looking at my Mighty Putty again without breaking down. And I have a broken chair leg to fix.
After the song was over, Dustin said that he was getting a little too choked up to play the song. So the sour notes you heard were all Billy. "No amount of Mighty Putty," he added, "will fix my broken heart."
Dustin furthermore mentioned tonight that out of all the shows we've played in the past four days that this show definitely had the best sound. That's something I've noticed about the Fine Line, and it's part of what makes it such a fun room to play. Dustin also calmly mentioned that he surmised "we're really raising the roof tonight".
Also appearing tonight were Mayda and Section 30.
