What's Been Happening?
Been a good week! On Thursday, I opened the show at the sold out 'Freakeasy Showcase.' It was great to start the year this way and I don't think I've laughed so hard in a long time. A few of my friends came with me and absolutely loved it so I think we will be going back every month for a night out!
On Saturday, I went to see 'The Motion Poets,' supported by 'Barbe Rousse' and 'Oceancode' down at Banshee's. All three bands are studying the same course as I am but are a few years ahead of me. I have to say that they were all exceptionally good and I really enjoyed their sets.
'The Motion Poets' are going from strength to strength and every time I see them play they somehow get better! They have so much energy on stage and I think most of the crowd will have left singing their tunes.
I hadn't seen 'Barbe Rousse' play before and I absolutely loved their set. I loved how they got the audience involved and that some of their songs had a comedic aspect which you don't see with many bands.
Finally, 'Oceancode' were excellent and the sound guy did a really good mix on their set which meant you could clearly hear the vocals (which is crucial in my opinion). Having seen them play before, I really enjoyed their song 'You and Me' so I'll keep that in mind for their future gigs.
This Week
Playing a set at Southsider pub this Friday! Also, tomorrow I will be recording a trailer for the release of my song 'Demon in Me' so I can't wait for that.
