Anti-Valentines: A friday the 13th massacre

This weekend happens to be a return to the place where we almost got electrocuted the first time we played a live show. It's the home of the house party, the beer chug, the metal in a microwave.

We're to gather with 4 other bands and play 45 minute sets. We've planned to wear some sort of gangster outfits, and we're playing a whole bunch of new material. We've spent the past few weeks to try and really get a set list ready. This is something we are generally not good at. All of us are changing our favorite song, or what we want to play. Matt's favorite song, for example, is always the last one he wrote.

Well the Anti-Valentines Day party went over pretty smooth. We had a long list of songs to get through in a 45 minute set, and we actually did quite well! Coming out of a show we are always a bit disappointed or worried things didn't sound so well, but this weekend was a bit of an exception.

The one thing that did feel a little strange was due to the high volume of songs we needed to play we didn't interact with the crowd much. We just pushed on through the songs trying to get all 14 played in 45 minutes!!
All the songs were pretty much new, but here's a list of the new ones:

Hey There Dark Cloud
Bus to Chicago
Never Be
Forgotten Fruit
To Climb a Hill




Well that's all for this week. Tune in Wednesday to hear us play on WFHB!
