Well, there's only so much a guy can do while waiting for the mixes & masters for his new EP to get back. I kept busy doing the normal routine; giving guitar lessons, finishing artwork, band practice, hanging out with my dogs, etc. One morning I was even lucky enough to go grab some breakfast with my old buddy Emmett Hall from the Malcontents.
But... as I'm typing this week's blog, I'm wondering if I was unconsciously trying to win an award for seeing the most live local bands/shows last week.
I'm thinking I was at least 'top 3' on that one. :-)
Like most Wednesday nights, I was down at Lafayette Live Open Mic at the Lafayette Theater last week. Though my intentions were to hang out with some music buddies & sign up for this week's show, I was talked into playing.
Here's the set:
"Hand of the Almighty" - John R. Butler cover
"3.14" - Bloodhound Gang cover
"Bed Intruder" - Auto-Tune the News cover
It was fun to have some folks singing along & to hear people laughing at the words. After I got done, my pals in Little Boxes churned out a great impromptu set. They're an earworm factory.
I headed back to the theater Thursday night to catch sets from Sleeping in Stereo, Future Lovers, and Traveling, Broke, and Out of Gas too.
Saturday night I split my time between helping with sound for the Why I Like Robins show at the Black Sparrow and hanging out at The Mound Builders CD release show with The Enders and Our Albatross at Jerilee's.
The coolest part about catching this all within a few days was the realization that:
A) Not one of these bands sounded like any of the others
B) They all killed it
and
C) Those 8 groups are only a small sample of the town's musical pie.
Kudos Lafayette!
Though I had a blast being a spectator, I'm ready to get out & play my own tunes this week! Hopefully, I'll see you at Lafayette Live or on Sunday at the Family Fun Day to Support the Home with Hope.
I promise to have the new IND shirts with me!
Thanks for stopping by again! Extra thanks to those of you who continue to share the Chris June IND word with your friends!! Referrals = awesome.
I'll either catch you at the shows or here next Monday. Have a great week!
Over and out.
This is the source for the inside scoop on Chris June IND; including writing, recording, performing, etc. You'll get more dirt here than tweets & status updates. Typically, new blog entries get posted every Monday and whenever something too interesting to not write about happens. I’ll try to keep my entries short-winded and light-hearted. Maybe I can make them funny. We’ll see.
