This was the first show we've played in seven months.
And it felt good to be back on stage, to be sure. We took a lot of time off because we've been working on our album, Beards. Strangely for Dillon, the last show we played back in October was his first show with us. So there was a lot of catching up for him. He knows the Beards stuff inside and out, but as far as our back-catalog, he was almost completely in the dark. So tonight's set was about half new Beards material and half other.
It was the first time we'd ever played Wild Tymes and it felt good overall. I told the crowd that the name Wild Tymes reminded me of another great band called Wyld Stallyns. "What did they do? Oh, not much. Brought peace to the galaxy." Deedleedeedleedee!
Anthony told the crowd that rock and roll never dies, won't rust and never molds. And we proved it. The show went so smoothly that our friend and frequent attendee Robb said afterward that we sounded as if no time had passed at all. (No rust or mold to be found.) A lot of our friends came out, probably partially because it's been so long since we've played. And my sister Wendy and her man-friend Jon came all the way from Fargo for a night away and to take in the show. It was a really nice surprise to see them. I had no idea they'd be here.
In short, we had a great night, Dillon did great, we sounded solid. We can't wait to get ourselves out there more now that the recording process is finished!
Thanks to Small Town Anthem, Hounds of Finn, and Megan Hirsch who all performed tonight.
