After-Action Report



We played a show last Thursday at The Pound. It was my first time there, and I was surprised just how cool the venue was. It’s a converted warehouse, not in the best part of town. The owners/tenants/promoters have totally decked out the inside though, with a bar, living quarters upstairs, a stage down front, and a big screen for projections. The floor is filled with nice couches and bean-bag chairs, giving the big room a pretty cozy atmosphere - it felt good with around twenty people there, and with four times that amount.

Our set started, unfortunately, at the same time as the Habs game went into overtime. From all reports though, we played pretty well - a quick 50-minute or so set. We played mostly original songs this time, which was nice (none by me though). We also had the benefit of a soundman controlling our levels, so it was much easier to hear ourselves than in gigs past. Our next show is March 7, at Le Buddhi Lounge - booked by the mysterious Tej!
