Welp, we finished up our show at Shibuya Eggman the day before last. We were a bit flaky in parts but I think overall the show went pretty well, especially considering it was on a weekday, it was the first time playing there, and well, considering we haven’t played out in 6 months. The venue was pretty cool — slightly smaller than I imagined for being as famous as it is. The lighting was rather awesome. Much more intricate than at any place I have played at so far.
As for the other bands, everyone was really talented, but the genres were kind of all over the place. I was rather suspecting that before we went in though. A good few of the bands were rather experimental and the others were mainly pop/rock. We were probably the louder, more mixed band playing that night. One band, Adabana, drove in all the way from Tokushima, which is in one of the southern islands of Japan, or in other words, really fucking far away. We got to chat with them a good bit before the show and they were all really nice guys — and a really fun band. I really wished we could have gone out for drinks afterwards but there just wasn’t time for it unfortunately.
Good news was that we had a really good turn out for a Wednesday night (thanks so much to everyone who came!) and the floor was decently filled by the time we got on stage. Also, the Eggman staff seemed to like us (or at least not hate us?), and suggested there were some future events coming up they would like to pass us an invitation to after our recording settles down a bit. So yeah there.
So, from here it’s back to recording and songwriting for a bit. I also have some merchandise, website updates, and etc. I want to cover in the next month or so. Busy as always, busy as always.
As for personal life, things have been a bit hectic with the house, baby, work, and everything else so I have been a bit slack about posting updates and keeping up with everyone. To be honest it doesn’t look like it is going to get much better anytime soon, but I’m going to try not to be so much of a stranger.
Oh, and the spam on this blog is slowly killing me. I’m getting like 400-500 spam comments a day at this point and really just don’t have the energy to erase/blacklist them all everyday anymore. I think I’m going to update WordPress just to see if that helps but if not, I’m either going to have to disable comments or setup one of those irritating computer generated verification code thingys that I have been trying my best to avoid for the last year. Being that I’m a bit of an attention whore, I will probably go with the verification code if it comes down to that. We will see.
