Whew!
This past Friday and Saturday at Rick's were a blast. Between my coughing and Chris' bleeding, we were like a lost episode of ER. Either way, a good time was had by all.
First off, we'd like to thank Sex Knuckle for opening for us. They got a
chance to debut some of their original material, which I thought was
really cool.
It was pretty fun playing with these guys. It's somewhat known that Dave and I are from the same home town. Sex Knuckle guitarist Chris Ellingson is also from there, and singer Samantha Bennefeld is from a ways down the road. So both nights wound up being a bit of a central North Dakota old home week.
We had the opportunity to debut a couple of new tracks, Beyond and Inversion. They both went over well. Beyond will stay as-is. Inversion suffers the fate of many tunes that I've written, where a lyric idea gets about half done and then runs completely out of steam. So, "Inversion" gets a new name to match the new chorus.
The playing itself went well. I was nursing my way through the tail end of a cold, but all in all it was a good time.
So, from here we get ready for our next show, which is October 20th at the Nestor Tavern in Fargo with Chaos in Question. That'll be a fun one as well, and we haven't played the Nestor in a long time. Keep your ears open for new tunes - looking at a couple that we haven't done before for that show. We're also looking at getting a few basement demos done during our rehearsals, so if stuff comes out decent, we might just throw it out there for public consumption.
Later - Travis
