01/09/12

Hey all!

Last week started out great! I started off by picking up my younger brother from the airport and getting him back home for the first time since he left for Afghanistan.

As the week progressed, I picked up a few unplugged shows to get out and play. Plus, this was the first time that all 3 of us bros got to hang at the shows. *That rhymed*

Drew tagged along too and kept the low-end solid.

First up was a short set at Lafayette Live on Wednesday night.

Here's the set:

"Out of Our Hands"
"Settling"
"Pocket & Soul"
"Before it Gets to Me"
"Zzyzx Rd" - Stone Sour cover

Side note: I'll be back at the Theater this Wednesday (1/11) to do another set. All the details are listed on the Shows Calendar. I hope to see you out!

My slot last week was right after my buddies Arch Drive Goodbye. We have a blast with those dudes, so Drew & I teamed up with them for 2 more extended sets at Java Roaster and Uncorked on Friday and Saturday, respectively.

Here's the set (Yeah, yeah, cliche rock n' roll trick of playing the same set...):

"Settling"
"Guilt that Keeps on Giving"
"Something Else is Something More" - Adrenaline cover
"Dear Reason"
"Amputee" - Oceansize cover
"Before it Gets to Me"
"My Rx"
"Out of Our Hands"
"Pocket and Soul"

Since most of those tunes are pretty serious, we mixed it up by throwing in covers of Chef songs too. :-)

Thanks to everyone that came out, IT WAS A BLAST!!!

Switching gears to a more serious topic, the Lafayette Music Community was tipped off to the City Council's attempt to pass an ordinance to make promoters/venues/artists apply for permits to have shows in town. You can find info HERE and HERE.

The Lafayette Music Club has mobilized on Facebook in an effort to get this blocked. Please join up!

The City Council was supposed to consider the ordinance tonight at Lafayette City Hall (20 North 6th Street, Lafayette, IN) at 7pm. Though the 'consideration' is being delayed, we still plan to attend tonight's meeting.

That does it for this week's update.

Before I jet, kudos to all my new 'like-rs' on the Fan Page. Also, if you hip to picking up my music digitally from iTunes and Amazon, you only have until February 6th to download "Settling."

Thanks for stopping by!
