Our day:

was AMAZING! We rocked up that bandstand at Open Air 2011! Unfortunately there wasn't quite as many people there as we'd hoped and we only sold one copy of our Ep but they were only minor niggles. The rest of it was great! It was freezing but thankfully no rain came our way so our equipment was all fine. It was actually unbelievable what a good sound mix we had! Our supporting band, Out of the Ashes were great, playing soft and metal covers (awesome combination!!!) and we put on a mean show too! Haha I finally managed to convince Nate that stools actually work when you're playing accoustic guitar! Our setlist was sweet - mostly off our Ep but a few other ones thrown in the mix. My favourite though was one called "I wish you were here" which is an acoustic song, but when we recorded it we stuck some electric guitar in at the end and it sounded amazing. Usually we can't replicate this live though cos there's no way I can change guitars that quick, but tonight we got Trent from Out of the Ashes to come on and play the electric part. It sounded so cool! It was mean playing with another guitarist too.
Anyway, that's mostly it. It was a great show - can't believe we actually organized it all ourselves! Playing on the bandstand was super, totally open air, no walls or anything to bounce sound off. It was a pretty small crowd, but one of the cooler shows we've done! We should have some pictures, if not that great ones, up shortly.
Bring on Open Air 2012!!
