So, my band played our first gig this friday... It was a local student `s show, and we played U2-"Walk on" cover. A u2 cover without drums and with a flute instead of lead guiatar.
Lots of nerves gone, lots of new friends. But the perfomance was a psycho day from the very begging.
First, for this one gig we decided to choose to a temp name and it is "Salvador Dominico Felipe Jacinto Demishe Dali`s One Night Band".
At the sound check we needed a additional 30min to tune, so we we made a deal with the local headmaster - we got rid of the "Salvador..." part and they give us more time. They thought it was a good deal
Then, when we got something like 40 min left till the beggining, we found ourselves sitting around the guiatar-player. The flute-player girl was wearing an all-white medieval dress, vocalist girl in emo-outfit, and guitarist and me in brand-new handmade rastafarian hats. And then out of nowhere a guy came. A little man with a big camera said he was from the local tv and he needed some "backstage footage" for the news. I don`t knwo why did he choose us, but what would you sing when you are all nervous, wear a pshychodelic hat and your bass is an old-school Precision? Right, the guy got some funky reaggae in the style of "This is reggae, the jamaica jazz, weed is the king, cause Jah loves us"...
And the then we simply burned the audience. Great show
