Love The Who so much that we named our son Tommy. I'd pay to see your band. And... If there's some ahem unfortunate coughaccidentcough, I will be waiting by the phone to replace you.

 

[Spent]

Them: Man, your bass solo sounded fantastic!
Me: You mean the part where everyone else drops out and I play exactly what I play during the rest of the song?

Yup.

Haha - Well if you're ever in the Los Angeles area and we're playing feel free to stop by as we always have people sit in! I love The Who too. I'd give anything to play a good chunk of Tommy - especially Overture and Go To The Mirror.

I'm forgetting some.... I know it. We're pretty good at taking requests too. We added a lot of these songs to our list because someone in the crowd wanted us to play it and we managed to pull it out of our @$$es. We had some Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Bowie, and some classic funk songs in there at one point, but we don't really play those any more. This isn't the order we play either. We mix it up. We typically start with Born on the Bayou and end with Rock n' Roll however.

Haven't tackled that song yet, but 'Hey Now What You Doing' from the same New Order Album is also pretty fun to play, and you don't need sequencers to do it.
