Alright - my live show was last night. Here's what happened: I was scheduled to go on at about midnight at this house party. There were about 25 people there at first (which is twice as much as my usual intake). The first band was decent punk, then more people came in. The second band was a two-man bass and drum hard rock thing - pretty damn good too. And then there was 50 or more people there. So of course I'm super excited. Then - one of the BEST BANDS I'VE EVER FUCKING SEEN comes on and puts on one stellar set - they were called Swirve - and they consist of a trumpet player with effects pedals and a drummer - both HIGHLY SKILLED. Of course, I did not sweat it, that just meant I had to try harder to prove myself. So, after they finish, nearly EVERYONE left. And it was more like ten people there, and throughout my three-hour set, a maximum of 6 people were in the room the entire time. However, I did bootleg the set (a 45 minute recording) which i will put up sometime this week. And the leader of the collective I'm on sincerely apologized to me for everyone leaving, and promised to score me a gig at a nice venue in Denton. Plus, I met another musician with the same tastes as I (and he's awesome.) So, that was not as good as I had hoped. But I did gain some experience from the live set for future shows. I was still disappointed though. :( |

I did play Bionic Commando though - which someone recognized - and highly enjoyed. So I guess that's a victory there. |

Hey nice, you had a gig! What is your setup for doing live stuff? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Mine is a harmonica, knee cymbals, a kick drum and a howling dog. I call it howlercore |

That's what I thought! It's bloody genius! |

lee - okay, so it's not a bootleg - but a live recording. give me a break. :P skink - my set is usually my PC, effects processor (which allows me to add a lots to my music really) and also a keyboard (which was absent last night). you'll be able to hear it soon enough - hopefully this week. |

Do you know 'the laughing gnome' by david Bowie Oddio? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Marvellous! |

i dont know how popular you are over there, but 6 ppl aint that bad... i was at this gig about 3 weeks ago and the main act was doormouse (imo quite popular) and there were like 20 ppl there im sure you'll get a bigger audience next time...i mean it cant get any smaller haha |
||||||||

I just checked your location 'metrognome' and that's one of the lines from 'the laughing gnome' by david bowie, which is the pre cursor to 'funny little man' by aphex. check it out, it's a funny song.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks. i'll do that. i don't know if they chose that name as a bowie reference - you see this area i live in is usually called the Dallas/Ft.Worth Metroplex - hence the "Metro" bit - and the play on words - "Metronome" / "Metro-gnome" |

That was the worst rendition of the Dallas theme tune (in my mind) I've ever heard! |
||||||||
|

Bionic Commanda wicked! What about Xenon or Wicked? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
actually, bionic commando didn't make it to the bootleg - Ninja Gaiden and Kirby/Butter Building did though. |

can't wait to hear the recording. three hours seems like a very long set, that's impressive! don't feel bad about the crowd - i once played a gig and everyone left except my friend (and there were about 40 people at the start). so we mostly played to an audience of one and when we finished everyone came back to see the next band. it was great. |

thanks for the support all. |
||||||||

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well then i should be proud. hopefully i'll have a better gig soon. :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
