the ballard playhouse, ballard, wa
over winter break we set up a show. first, we wrote a few new tunes with the lyrics and experiences we had from college and then we got ready for the show. chalk this show up with the top five too. check out the lineup: the investigators, less than jake, bumpin uglies, and us. less than jake ended up playing two shows that night, one at the playhouse (this one) and one at the china club or whatever it was called. anyhow this show was pretty much packed even for our set. everyone sat on the floor for our set but we didn't care, we were playing again after 8 months without a good show. we debuted a few songs: tear, marin, casualties, and chewing ice, i think, and then we joined the crowd in gleeful dancing to the sounds of less than jake and our taco-ma ska pals the investigators.
don's summary:
our performance rating: the sit-down performance of the year
overall show rating: damn fine experience
