Drifty's Pub: The Struggle to Indy...

The struggle I speak of is one we all face - stupid f*#%ing cars! I was shocked the other afternoon when I found myself suddenly having to walk everywhere. On my way to drop off my new Vintage Ludwig drum set my car decided to die in a gas station parking lot, and has since not been able to start. This led to the past two weeks being an all out search for a vehicle before our show at Drifty's on 4.17.09.

It took a while, but I finally found a Ford Explorer, and we happily made our way to Drifty's Pub on Indy's south side where we made our first live appearance in Indianapolis. It actually was an easier set up than normal - Drifty's provides a house drum set, and is actually a very fun bar to hang out in.

We got there early - we wanted to see the bands before us, and support in anyway that we could. We stopped at John Wayne's which was across the street for some "world famous chicken" and instead got some of the "worlds worst beer."

We rolled into Drifty's around 9:40pm, and started drinking (Well I did, Matt & Eric both just relaxed). However, as the evening went on - it became apparent that a lot of our "fan base" wasn't going to make the trip to Indy to see us. However, we had some very AWESOME fan's show up, but not in the numbers we had hoped for.

If you ever get a chance, check the place out - it's at Stop 11 and Madison in Indianapolis. I want to thank: Jim, Amy, Bobby Boy, Drifty's, Hush Band, Common Nuisance, JShip, Jessika, Noah, Nate, and everyone else who came out to drink and watch us rock out...if you weren't there you really missed a great show (Including Eric doing some sort of Jimmy Hendrix moves on his bass)!
