It’s been a busy couple of weeks. Two Fridays back, we played a wonderful gig at Hot Times. Then, last Sunday, we shot for our new short docu-poem, “Target Practice”. I’ll talk about that real soon. Right now: Hot Times.
Ten minutes before we went on, the tent was almost empty. Ten minutes later, The Governor struck his first note for a good small crowd. As we played, the crowd filled out inside and outside the tent in the beautiful evening air. It wasn’t stifling on the stage and the monitor mix was good.
Everything clicked and the crowd knew it. They were with us all the way musically and philosophically. “On Moral Decline…” and “FOP” seemed to hit home the best, drawing hoots and hollers. Brett, Roger, and The Governor were on fire and were especially incendiary on “Make Jazz Not War”, which closed the show to scattered shouts for more. This piece is still finding itself and it seems close after Hot Times. It was a great set.
No immediate shows scheduled, but look for us out there soon.
