I've been gigging in a friends band off and on for about a year now. I started out as a fill in bassist, and have sort of acquired the main seat there since their other bass player moved out of town, which is ok, except it's pretty much a side project for me and i'm not super excited about the music, although we have fun playing and there is a great drummer. They don't gig very much, so it's not too big of a deal.
We had two gigs last Thursday, one opening up for a bigger band at a free festival concert series thing, which went really well, and another that night at the local saloon/theater. We made good money and got set up with rooms and everything, so that part was great. The first set was well rehearsed, and we played well and had a good response.
The second gig was pretty loose, we didn't have enough material really prepped so we jammed a bit and ended up playing some of our material from the earlier set, which was ok. Everyone was so buzzed at that point it really didn't matter, the dance floor was packed pretty much all night, and it was relatively easy to keep them happy. Somewhere during the second set I caught some movement out of the corner of my eye and peeked backstage through some curtains. There is this very sexy redhead poking around through the percussion and costumes piled up there, and she turns around to see me looking at her. She grinned mischievously and proceeded to get pretty risque, lifting her skirt and flaunting her goods (she did have panties on!), and doing a little booty shaking and sexy dancing, all for my solitary eyes. I'm fairly shocked at this point, this is totally out of the blue and a bit wild, but i'm pretty much eating up every moment of it, while trying not to lose track of the song. She then proceeded to put on some fairy wings and a wig and danced out on to the stage, feeling up the various members of our group and generally being a hot little vixen. It was ridiculous! She was pretty saucy, but the whole thing was cool, she stayed respectful and did her thing, we played the song for a long time and she slid out the back, and down to the dance floor while getting some well earned applause.
This marks a first for me in my performance career, and who knows if that will ever happen again. I kind of hope so! =) Meanwhile the little private dance I got backstage while playing was one of my favorite all time gig moments so far.
