Okay- I fucked this one up myself. The idea was that we play ambient music –completely improv- for 45 minutes. Well- the drums were just too loud. I couldn’t here anyone but me. Whenever I would stop for a breakdown –I would here nothing. Johnny and Kevin were both squatting in front of their pedals- so I couldn’t see if they were playing or not. I was terrified of there being dead silence- so I just kept playing –and playing –and playing. Boy- was Johnny pissed! I have to say though- we haven’t had that problem since Johnny got a bigger amp. It figures- I had always said in practice- ‘we should make stuff more minimal’- and there I went- unknowingly hogging the show and turning it into Blue Stendhal Man Group. I felt like such a jerk.
On the up side –the crowd seemed to really enjoy it and we had behind us an enormous 30-ft wall to project on to which Brendan did wonderfully with some cool computer live-video-editor program he had just gotten. It was also great to get Indian food before the show.
