The
Locker Room – Edmonton, AB - August 3rd 2007
The night before we had
to play the Edson Kinsmen Slo-Pitch Tournament we decided
it would be a good idea to play a gig and get our feet
wet seeing as we hadn’t played
for a live audience in a few months (It was essentially
an extra practice). Luckily I was able to get a last minute
gig through a friend of mine Paul Husband.
Paul connected
me to the people at The Locker Room, whom oddly enough
I already knew. It was Art from the old metal act Methodical
Breed (Art was also in a band years ago with our drummer
Sean). Art set us up a last minute gig at their venue
downtown over by the Starlite room.
Art is there booking
manager and head chef… odd
combination but awesome none the less. So we got there
pretty early as we had to run our own sound that night.
After fighting with there system and multiple calls to
there usual sound guy we got everything hammered out and
set up.
A few of our friends made there way over to the
venue and there were a good number of people in the room
for us to play to. We essentially played the same two sets
of music that we were going to be playing the next night
in Edson. Needless to say the crowd was impressed.
I was
surprised by how nice and low key the venue was, people
were actually coming in off the street and into the bar
simply because they heard us playing…. Got
to love that. We rocked out our usually style, sold some
CDs, and T-Shirts, and like it began the night was over.
We
got some free beer and hung out with friends for a while
before we called it a night and tore all our gear down.

Heh…
