The Bass Geek

I wanted to wait until this show was confirmed and listed on the venue’s website and such before bringing it up here, and all of those parts have finally fallen into their respective places. So now I can tell you how darn nice it’s going to be playing the Vogue next Thursday for a couple of reasons.

First, it’s a nice big stage with nice big sound, and I want to hear what my bass and synths will sound like there. I’m also sure it’ll be the first time I’ve heard a sitar there (certainly not the first time one has been there I’m sure, but it’s still rare enough, trust me). We’ve been playing muich smaller and intimate venues to this point, so it’ll be a challenge, especially considering we’re a three-piece. I’ve also been doing most of these shows without an amp (both bass and synth using a DI into the P.A.), so I wonder if I’ll have to change that. It’s probably better to bring one just in case, eh?

Second, our little half-hour slot leads the way for the genius that is The Leisure Kings and the oversized punk-rock marching band Mucca Pazza. They boast being 30 members strong (inlcuding wind sections and cheerleaders), and the thought of trying to organize them into rehearsals of any sort frightens me, frankly. That’s why I’m glad I’ll just be taking in the show and not the preparation.
