| If someone had come to me a few years ago and told me that I’d be in a band with the likes of Kyle Lawler I would never have believed them. For as long as I’ve known him he’s been the best guitarist in my opinion, and now I’m in a band with him. Sometimes the reality of it hits me and I just well up with so much amazement and emotion. When we’re at practice and we’re not playing our set, but trying to come up with new songs or riffs I’ll sit back while he experiments and I’ll watch him. How quick and agile his fingers are just astonishes me and how he contorts his fingers to hit clever notes, I just have to take a step back. I am so honored to be a part of his art. Not to diminish the talent of the rest of the band, they are all extremely gifted in their own respects, but I just have such an awesome respect for Kyle. Well with all that said, we had a show last night and it went wonderfully. I was called on Friday night and asked to play at the last minute because a band scheduled to play bailed. We played in the downtown city park gazebo which to me seemed an extremely odd place to play. In the spring and such they have gentle folk bands who play there so I think last night was a culture shock for the Paso Robles conservatives. At first we were slated as the opening act, which was a downer but you take what you can get. Then we talked to one of the other bands and it was going to be their very first show and they were a little insecure about playing last. And the second band was a group from Louisiana who was on tour and I think they wanted to be packed and ready to leave. So we played last, which ended up being awesome because we dominated. Seriously we rocked it. Gawd, I probably sound like a cocky bastard, but no joke. We had the crowd really moving. The mosh pit was gettin’ crazy and the security guard had to step in at one point. As Cities Burn, the Louisiana band, was really surprised that it was only our third show and asked why we weren’t touring. I didn’t tense up AT ALL, not once. I was so happy about that. I even stared people in the eyes at the show, I had so much confidence up there. It was a wonderful night, I feel like everything is right. And when I woke up I heard my mom on the phone talking about the show cuz she went and I overheard her saying something about me being such a shy and soft spoken person but when I’m up there I’m something else. I am proud and honored to be a part of something so wonderful and I thank the people who have supported me and helped me throughout. |
