Did everyone live through the crazy Easter (or your preferred celebration) weekend? I think this is the first year that I didn't scam on some eggs and peeps.
The boys and I played several shows last week. So, 'show content' is going to dominate this week's entry.
As mentioned in last week's blog, we started out at Aces Pub on Sunday (the 1st). Drew went to town on a djembe for IND songs & I got to play a couple of tunes with Azul.
Here's the set:
"Wonderwall" - Oasis cover w/ Azul
"Out of Our Hands"
"Before it Gets to Me"
"Pocket and Soul"
"Settling"
"Broken" - Seether/Amy Lee cover w/ Azul
We made our normal Wednesday stop at the theater for Lafayette Live and got the opportunity to sit-in with Lindsey Sickler on her song "Saving Grace."
After a short break for other acts, Drew and I jumped back up to do some promo for Friday's show.
Here's the set:
Out of Our Hands
Pocket and Soul
Before it Gets to Me
We were happy to have Brady from Little Boxes jam along on the last song. You can still get a free download HERE of our studio jam of "Before it Gets to Me" with both Brady and our friend Matt from The Cocaine Wolves throwing down with us.
Sure, there's a catch, but it's a very very small catch! Get the bonus track by downloading Whistle When We Break Down from Bandcamp for a whopping $3.00 or upload a fan pic of yourself to the Chris June IND Facebook page. Easy right? :-)
Friday night I had an unplugged show with my little brother at Java Roaster.Entertainment writer Tim Brouk stopped by IND HQ on Tuesday to do an interview with us and grabbed this pic:
If you were wondering... Yes, I am wearing a new DropYa Fightwear shirt in the shot. Kudos to their crew for the hook-up.
Anyway, Tim did a pretty sweet write-up in the Lafayette Journal & Courier and the show went great!
Here's the set:

We shared the night with our chums in ARCHDRIVE GOODBYE and I-Exist. ADG's flourishing in their 4-piece/loud rock incarnation and we're looking forward to our show this Saturday with them in Logansport (INFO & RSVP HERE). Also, we'll try to get their new EP finished up May-ish so those dudes can put it out & keep ramping up.
I go way back with the I-Exist dudes and they've been awesome for a long time. If it's possible, they proved to be more than the full package last night: great tunes, stage energy, tightness with the track, and video and lights synced to the set. It was intense! Check out I-Exist's new track "Giving My Life," it'll get you moving.
Sidenote: I really enjoy the opportunities to talk shop with Buddy (I-Exist guitarist and fellow Rhodes Amplification artist). That cat has great taste and nice toys!
That does it for update.
