play a live show with my band

Yesterday, my band played at a birthday party. New people exposed to us/our music. Positive responses! I can only hope that soon we will be playing in a public place.

So we played a second show for our friends in our practice space. This time there were more people there! I think as soon as we can get a permanent drummer and he/she learns the songs, we’ll be ready for a real show. Then the challenge becomes finding a place where we can play. But this is just another step closer!

WHOO! We (the band and I) just had a live studio performance. In other words, we were in our practice space, but we had an audience. They seemed to enjoy it. It’s not quite a live show, but it’s a step in the right direction. I think I did pretty good with my stage banter, but I got too quiet during the middle of the set. HOWEVER IT WAS INCREDIBLE FOR ME. I think I NEED to play a live show soon. NEED. But we need a permanent drummer first. Or a drum machine. Or something. Our guitarist’s dad just filled in this time. Grar. Anyway, I thought it was a great accomplisment, and I guess I’m almost there.
