haha
well that picture of the "pakced house" was during the soundcheck, the video camera was positioned up front so no one sat up there except one of the horn player's mom, they had a huge row of couches in the back they sat at. I got there and saw a bunch of people drinking coffee and I said "so yeah I'm just going to play something quiet and dark and not disturb the Sunday night coffee drinkers" and then my new drummer went into some lightning bolt type shit right away so I said "okay fuck it" and played the most violent noisiest loudest set I've ever played. We got some badass mocha afterwards!
but yeah the newest live incarnation of the band with me on guitar and mike on drums should work out perfectly... we just need to find a permanent keyboard player now, but I got someone in mind who can also play second guitar (just met him last night; a 16 year old who was playing in NEW STANDARD TUNING. I was like "Holy fuck, what the fuck, CRIMSON?!" and then he started playing "RED"!). This town always blows me away, 40000 people and there's some truely cool peeps...... of course, we have to play in the town 35 miles down the road, but hey it works.
anyway i gotta get mike to rip the video from vhs, should be up ... soon... it was a fun set. it gave me an excuse to buy a pretty nice acoustic guitar last night, like a $500 acoustic-electric for $50 from some desparate dude. i'm thinking of doing an acoustic only album..................
