Okay, so even after 20 years, it IS possible to learn stuff about playing live, right? As a singer, I felt that this was NOT one of my best nights - I seemed to have a hard time hitting some of the notes.. just one of those nights.. it's cool. As a band, we've definitely been tighter, but as it turns out, it's the energy of the show that makes the night - not how tight the endings or the transitions are!! That dance floor stayed pretty full most of the time, and you all were amazing!! What a great group of friends we have! The staff at O'Kelley's was blown away by the night, because as it turns out, you all buy a lot of beer, too! Ha. This night raised our stock a bit at O'Kelley's, and I'm happy to say that they want us in regular rotation! THANK YOU, folks for coming out and hanging. We had a blast with you. And to those of you that came into town from San Diego and from Las Vegas - wow!! Thanks, and I'm happy that you all had a great time. And to our Staff Sergeant Forrest - Safe travels my brotha, and Thanks for all that you do for the Red, White, and Blue!! See you again, bro!
Damn, this was a fun show! The band was HOT HOT HOT tonight! It's great to work with such a pro audio dude as well! Patrick Driscoll is the best! Made us sound like true pros. We also debuted our new song "Alibis" tonight, and the crowd went WILD! I love that shit!
This is the first time we ever set foot on stage at O'Kelley's, and also the first public appearance with new Drummer JQ! And it's safe to say that we have loved O'Kelley's AND JQ ever since! LOL
This show would end up being a bitter sweet night and memory for me... Lance's Birthday Bash's are always UNBELIEVABLE! We have such a great time playing, but on this particular night, it would be the last show with Drummer Mike Carnicom after a fantastic 10 year run.
It's incomprehensible to me that we can have such supportive and dedicated friends and fans like we have in you all. What a GREAT night! Everybody brought their A game tonight, and we really rocked! No problems with my vocals, and I feel like I vindicated myself from last night. Real strong energy from the crowd all night long. What a great bunch of people, and a real fun show. Tevis comes out of this weekend as the MVP! He really busted his ass to pull off all of these tunes, and it really showed. I'm a lucky guy to be a part of all of this.
Another incredible night! Most of the bars are running pretty slow, thanks to gas prices over $4, but not THE BLOOZE! You guys gave us a hell of a weekend, and we thank you for that! See you next time...
Come out and send off on tour and celebrate the Summer!
Man, you all get better every time we see you! You danced your asses off and made so much noise! Tumbleweed said you almost blew the roof off! Thanks for your support. You all kick ass!
What can I say? Unbelievable. You are all so incredible to party with. Thanks so much to all of the Terashain faithful for the memories this weekend! You're all great friends, and we won't forget it. See you again real soon...
