two down, one to go

thanks everyone for coming to the first two shows of ours this week. we had a blast playing for the System Kid faithful, as well as the new listeners out there. here's a rundown of the two shows so far this week:

babylon:
this place is a mediterranean restaraunt and hookah bar in riverside. when we got there, contrary to information given to the other band that set up the gig, there was no PA system. they were scrambling to set something up. needless to say, we started playing at about 9:45 instead of 9:00. there were a few technical difficulties during the show - the mic kept cutting out on jared and his piano didn't come through sometimes, but overall, it went smootly when all was said and done. thanks to jeremy who fiddled with the mic until it worked!

the best thing we heard was: "if i would have known you guys were this good, i would have brought more people!" cool, and thanks. hopefully next time!

flipside:
as ray and evan scrambled to get there after work, jared and bart were busy setting up inside. we were the second band to go on the stage immediately after Phoenix Effect. they rocked and after about 4 songs tore down and we set up. after the quickest sound check ever, we started the 'storytellers' version of our set and played 5 songs. we had a great response from the audience and thanks to everyone who came to see us. we quickly tore our stuff down and got out of the way for Done In Secret who followed after us.

now we get ready for the battle of the bands that happens on saturday night in hemet. check out our shows page to see where and what we will be playing.

anyone planning on going to support us?
