Playing New Venues

Tuesday, March 1st, 2011

So I’ve been playing in my band The Fitted Shirt again. It’s been so much fun! I’m playing mostly lead guitar(electric). Dan’s letting me use his pedalboard, since he uses the on board effects from his amp. One thing I’ve been thinking about is how much fun it is to play new venue’s. We played in Milford a few weeks ago(1 week after I joined the band and learned all the songs and didn’t practice with the band!) and this coming Saturday we’re playing at The Jam Factory in Manchester.

Fun things about playing at new venues!

  • I never know who’s going to be there, are there regulars? Fans of other bands? No one?
  • I never know what the atmosphere will be like.
  • I never know how much space I’ll have to rock out. How can I best entertain the crowd with the space that I have?
  • How are the other bands? Fun? Energetic? New friends?

All this uncertainty mixed with the certainty that I bring with me of knowing all my parts makes for a great mix of fun and awesomeness!!! If you’d like to share some awesomeness, come check out the show!

Happeeeeeze artists

Happeeeeeze artists

So there’s this girl…

Hey everyone! I’ve been missing for quite some time again. Turns out my thyroid levels were off again(still are) and I seem to get quite distant from everything when they are off like that(maybe it’s good that this happened? Music always comes when they’re off. After all, there is opportunity in everything!). Don’t worry though, I’ve been making music more than usual!!! In the past month I’ve demo’d 2 songs and wrote another one last week! It’ll be demo’d shortly and we played it last night at the fitted shirt show! Check the vid below!

That gets me back to that ol’ header up there. The new song that we played last night is titled “A Song For Mary’, I wrote it about my wonderful girlfriend. We were talking last Friday night and I felt inspired so I picked up my guitar to jam on a riff that I had written 5 mins before I left for our first date. That riff turned into a few more and before I knew it I was singing along and typing up some lyrics. I busted out the lyrics pretty quickly! Once it started to flow out of me I couldn’t stop it and I was caught up in a whirlwind of AWESOMELY happy and beautiful things!

Site Updates

My apologies for the lack of updates in the past 2 weeks. I’ve mostly been doing work on the music section around here, so there hasn’t been a whole lot to report over here on the home page. I’ll post up when that section is done and filled with musical goodness! Currently, you can check out a few songs on the production page. More will be added soon! Other than that, I’ve been doing some general back end work to tidy things up on this site(adding, subtracting, etc.)

Show Tomorrow!

DREDG!

Last night I saw my 2nd favorite band dredg at The Middle East. They put on such an amazing show. I absolutely love that band. The last song, I think, was the last song of their upcoming album and it was absolutely incredible. No words can describe how I felt when they played that song. It was every bit perfect. I can’t wait to get my paws on their new album in June!

See you beautiful people soon.

Hey There!

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

How are you?

Things are great here. We’ve been trucking along with the new Fitted Shirt album. It’s sounded great. I start tracking my drum and guitar tracks on Sunday. Wahoo!

2 Shows coming up.

The first is on Thursday at Tupelo Musical Hall in Londonderry. We’re playing the open mic night again. Hopefully we won’t get picked 23g24524523th to play. We’re hoping for an earlier slot since a few of us are lucky enough to still have full time jobs. At practice last night, we decided that I’ll be sneaking behind Dan to play his electric guitar while he does the rapping part in the Billy Idol tune. This will be AWESOME, look for a vid on youtube after the event!

The 2nd show is at Life Alive in Lowell, MA on Friday, April 17th. Show starts at 7 and we’ll be playing from 9-9:45. In this 30 min set we’ll also squeeze in Life In Circles, which is my favorite Vigor tune to play live! You can RSVP on facebook. This should be a great show! Life Alive has incredible food so come early to grab a bite to eat with us!

I love meeting and being around creative people. It fills me with such joy. These people are so exciting to talk to. Very refreshing. When I’m around them it feels as if no breath is wasted and no action is left unfelt.

I’m heading down to the cape to hang out with my dad and step mom Friday. Also to woop my dad in NBA Live 09, since he’s too old to play me in real basketball :) . On Saturday I get to see Providence as I’ll be going to visit a new friend. Lots of people have told me that Providence is beautiful so I’m very excited to see the area!
