You cut open your finger doing a lick, and your bandage flies off while doing the same lick.

The bass player cut a finger on his fretting hand. Had somebody come up on stage, patch it up while he kept the groove with his other hand. Pretty cool... |

They *immediately* told us to turn down. They had a guy standing outside the club with a decibel meter.
I mean... I can understand being sensitive to others in the neighborhood, and not wanting to get hassled by the cops as a club owner, but it was an all-ages show in the middle of the day on a saturday... and they still told us to turn down.
Why call it the "Loud Music Festival?" We had to turn down so low I could hear my strings smacking against my fretboard. |
