First show of 2010 and what a good one! I love the Viper Room. I’ve played there a few times now so it’s more like homebase rather than some foreign venue. I love that it always sounds good in the crowd!! Below is video right before we hit the stage which was rad. Thanks to everyone that came out and shook their asses!!

This was actually our second show at Molly Malone’s off of Fairfax. It’s a really fun venue with great sound. The crowd likes to get a little rowdy too which is great!! It’s not too often we get a floor of girls dancing for our tunes, but it doesn’t get much better then that!

This was a really fun show at Club Hell, in Hollywood. We set up a lot of this really evil looking lighting and blew out a fuse! Note to future band looking to book in Hollywood, those buildings are sometimes a little old and the fuse can blow pretty easily. Bring surge protectors so you don’t fry your gear!!
Playing in front of 7,000 is a really rad feeling. This gig was the kind of moment where you’re really worried that it isn’t coming to come off right, but when we hit the stage it’s a little too late to think much about that. We were slotted just before the fireworks show at the Coliseum in downtown LA on the 4th of July.
Good times!!
Over the course of playing with several groups I’ve learned one of the roles that I should have tackled earlier as a drummer, leading. This can be difficult at times because whenever you’re auditioning there is some uncertainty as to what’s what and the whole situation is really fresh and new. Many times I would sit back and pay attention to the guiding instruments, be it lead guitar, vocals, or keyboards. I would allow them to guide me through songs because they knew the songs better than I did right? It’s their music after all.

When I moved to Los Angeles I was really ready to hit the music scene really hard and get my career in gear. I had been auditioning for several local bands all over the greater Los Angeles area but I noticed that many times I would hear from the bands I was auditioning for that I wasn’t hitting the drums loud enough, or it looked like I wasn’t that into the music. <Click on this story’s header for more.>
