February 23, 2005 Providence RI

2/23/05 Tazza Cafe
Coffee shop/Bar acoustic show. Matt Leines came along for the ride, he showed us around Providence. We went to a wing place for lunch and I saw a kid I knew from high school. We played with more chick acoustic bands. We played around 9pm and the crowd seemed to dig us a little. We sold 1 cd and gave out a bunch of the Renfield Records comp. We left right after we played. Tazza was a nice place but the bouncer told us some other places to try to play in Providence.

2/22/05 DC-9
We played as a three piece again, DC-9 is in the ghetto. We arrived at the club early so we drove around DC for a little while. Went back to the club and waited for a parking spot right in front of the club. We loaded in at around 7pm, set up our gear and sound checked, probably the best sound we have had as a three piece. We played at 9:30 then packed up and got ready to leave. Everyone seemed to like us although nobody bought anything. We did give away a bunch of the free CD's. We played with Eastern Homes(they were good) and the Jealous Lovers Target I think, We didn't get to stay and catch their set. The DC-9 is a nice place, it would be better if we had different bands and a weekend night to play there, then it would be a lot better.

2/20/05 CB's Gallery
Neil and I played an acoustic show. A few people came to see us. It was snowing pretty hard and it took me two and a half hours to get home from Neils. We played with the Feverfew, she was pretty good, kinda reminded me of Mirah a little. Once again Copperpot screwed us over and decided to cancel last minute.

2/19/05 Brooklyn, NY Charleston Bar

Played as a three piece, got free Rolling Rock and Bud. Crowd was ok, not too many people there. Other bands didn't draw well, We played with East Plastic, they were alright and Eisenhower, who weren't that good but they were tight. We played well as a three piece but you could tell that we need someone to fill in the spaces. Didn't sell any merch, but didn't really expect to. Charleston Bar would be good place to play if we could draw more people. I used their house kit, which was an old Ludwig Vista-Lite set. It was a nice set but needs to be taken care of.
- Til next time, keep on rockin.
