You walk into this joint and the first thing you notice is how skinny it is.  In fact, the stage is just big enough for me to stand with a boom mic and maybe take one step backwards before banging into their cool retro sign.  In front of the stage, there’s a tiny walk way and a two-seater table.  That’s the width of the whole place.

The second thing you notice is the vibe.  It’s got that ultra cool, retro vibe going.  The kind that everyone wants for their place, but might not be able to pull off.

The third we noticed was how ridiculously early we were.  I read their site wrong and thought the show started at 8.  It started at 9.  We got there at 6:45.  Yeah.  The pizza was excellent, but everyone wasn’t happy about having to wait an extra hour longer than expected.

Perrin Lamb was still dealing with “the crud” so he played first and was only able to do 5 songs.  Even sick, he was amazing!  Apparently, he’s been featured on Kyle XY and has a new album coming out in May.  Should be good stuff.

We played after him and did 6 songs:

• So Easily
• Not This Time
• 11:11
• Don’t Leave Me Sunshine
• About Last Night
• Fantasy World

It was a different kind of place to play, because the audience was either to my left or my right, not straight ahead, which was the wall.  They had another room speaker right in front of me, which acted as a monitor.  I guess sitting around drinking sweet tea jacked with my throat because I had some pitch issues, but over all it was a fun gig.  Having Paul on perc helped a ton and gave tons more texture to each song.  I’d love to play there again.  They have a house drum kit and a Rhodes too.  It would be fun to have the whole group there and bust out that stuff and rock out.  Then again, it’d also be fun to play solo too.  It’s just fun to play.
