the closing time thread

[zoppotrump]

played a birthday party in a beergarden for a happy group of people.
a lot of dancing, drinking, but just funny people.
had to add another hour to our regular program for some extra cash...
weather was fine and everybody, including us, had a good time.

How'd I miss this thread?

Last Sunday, we did a no-drums trio outdoors in the amphitheater at The River shopping center in Rancho Mirage, CA. (They don't allow drums on account of they're too freakin loud, even when you ask them not to). I love this gig in spite of the challenging weather - SoCal desert, gig time temp @ 6 pm sneaking over the 100 degree mark, and humid (for the desert) - it's monsoon season, so you can get 30-40% RH at times. Kinda rough, but folks stroll by, then stop & sit down to watch. By the middle of each set we'll accumulate 50 - 100 people, then most will wander off during break. The crowds are always very appreciative, responsive and generous (!) - for a 3 set gig we'll pull tips ranging from $20 - 40 per man, which covers gas & drinks. Plus the $100 each for the show, I call it a good day. We'll be there lots through the fall - as the weather cools down a bit, it becomes a cherry gig!

This last show was notable for me, as I brought my new '07 Sunburst MIM Std down, as a back-up, but mostly to show the guys my pretty baby. Well, I got to my usual abusive hatchet job on my acoustic and broke TWO strings (diff'nt ones, at diff'nt times). The first, at the end of the first set, but the second happened midway thru the 2nd - so I grabbed the Tele ... ... ... it only occured to me for an instant that I had never really played an electric guitar in public before ...

Aw, went fine enough ... it ain't like rocket surgery, or nuthin. I even threw a lead or two at 'em!

Next up: The Monthly Restaurant Gig, this Friday.

sorry to state, that an nice thread like this one will die and disappear in the tdpri deserts, due to poor participation....

oh man! it is 3:20... I've been home for a bit... we had a gig at Daisy's in San Juan Bautista (an historic town as it was where the Donner party was headed when they got stranded!) We dig playing Daisy's because the crowd is eclectic... anyway a couple of band members have been bickering and I was pretty sure we were gonna have a terrible gig and the band could break up and the fight over the setlist was totally insane....

So, I was pretty bummed going to the gig... And.... packed house (a bunch of german tourists who were AWESOME! they loved us and bought tshirts! woo hoo) anyway, a rarity for me, I had a couple of beers and just went for it... we played great and the crowd was super responsive and fun... and we got paid and the bar owner grabbed them mic and announced we were 'his band!' and that he would have us there as much as we want to play! sweet!

So, go figure, sometimes things work out... one really fun and odd thing... the steel player showed up tonight with his steel (and a mando) but had the gk pickup on the mando and played organ and electric piano and piano about half the night... and it sounded cool...

Anyway, a really great gig... and at this stage of the game... I'm banking it!

Oh yeah.. a highlight.. the last set there were three younger guys doing the 'guitar thing' where they watch what you are doing... etc... anyway, they were giving the thumbs up stuff (all hammered) anyway, they were digging my tone king... the last song we do 'thats all right mama' kinda waylon, oklahoma funk style... everyone always dances to it and we jam for a bit on it.... anyway, I went rock star on the solo and the kids loved it... and were high fiving me when we were done and asking a bunch of questions... very fun! usually we're musical wallpaper...

[MandyMarie]

How did I miss this thread?! I'm asking myself that too, Mud! How did I miss this one?!

It's 8:16 in the morning and I've been home for just a bit. I'm still wide awake and I would imagine my bandmates are too - it's so hard to SLEEP when you rrrrrreally wanna sleep. Especially after a drive. For me anyway, my brain is still seeing the white line and a car in front of me!

We finished off the last lot of our merch last night thanks to an absolutely amazing merch boy (which is AWESOME...and awful all at the same time. Our new order won't be ready for a bit and that means all we have is $1 stickers and 1" buttons. No t-shirts at all until the new batch is in - that seriously cuts into your nickles and dimes!) and that's going to make these next few shows a little bit harder.

tear the heart right out of me

Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E
becomes final in February

and Mick, Ed, Bruce, and Scott and me
will be going our ways...

Well you get the idea.

We've been playing 5 years...which is probably 4 years longer than I thought it would last.

Last week we played 3 sets, and NEVER ONCE found the groove.

We've gone through 3 bass players.

Which, I guess, should tell us something. Three bass players and the issue is still with us. Don't think it has been the bass players.

I'll probably be having a fire sale on Teles!

[Dave_O]

is now 10:30pm AEST, so not quite straight after the gig... (I too missed this one)
But... got back about 4 hours ago from a Fri-Sat gig up in a very nice (read EXPENSIVE) restaurant at the Mt Buller snowfields, (season's just ending), playing as "Mojo Bros 2 man trio"- me, a harp player and Mr Tambourine Man...a tambourine on a pedal!!
Took the two younger wallet-molesters for a spot of snowboarding, so the weekend only owes me $300.....

Even if it comes to an end though...you'll be back in something else in no time at all and you know it! (...but still save that pink sparkle twangcaster for me just in case!)

well, harvrst fair season is upon us so i'll be back at it next weekend. hope to have new shocks on the van by then.

The only sad thing with this thread, is that I can't post again in almost a year's time, since I only gig once a year

[NEPATelecaster]

Last nite at closing time, I played the song Closing Time. Right after a bachelorette party left...GOOD TIME, GOOD TIMES...

Anyhoo, we did the River acoustic thing again yesterday, was ... meh.

But, then we stopped by a bar where we thought a friend would be playing (go figure, the one time I actually would have liked to have my bud drag me up to get my Zep on), but they had switched with the band that was there - and they ROCKED! Did stuff like Ozzie & ZZTop, very well. Fun time.

[MandyMarie]

Ahhhh, you guys are way too good to me already!

I never really thought about that before Sean - we usually do drive longer than we play! Hmmm. I never even thought about that. Haha! That Cleveland show is one I'm really nervous about...it's going to be my second "solo" show - just me and an acoustic. I just swallowed hard as I typed that hahaha! My bandmates are my security blanket (...big time) so I'm pretty nervous about being up there all alone. My first solo show (the night before that Cleveland show) is with Justin Townes Earle (Steve's boy) and it's my only chance to get my feet wet before the Cleveland show at the Fryer, which is a little bit longer set than the "in the round" Justin Townes Earle show. The majority of those songs I've never sang in front of anyone other than my husband too...so that's kind of scary. And I'm used to just writing fun rockabilly/alt. country stuff and this solo stuff isn't that in the least - it's all the more serious stuff that I'm not sure would go over very well with the band...some of it is sort of funny, I guess, but it's mostly ballad type, from the heart kind of stuff. I don't do that much haha! I'm anxious and nervous and I have no idea how you guys can get up there all alone! Without nobody!

[zoppotrump]

i seems, i never make it up to my computer when i come home from gigging.
so it´s again 10 in the morning and i already had breakfast...

friday night we played a local county fair and it was perfect. best weather, good crowd, about 500 people in the tent and after the first set really everybody was dancing so they had to rearrange the tables and opened up another bigger dance floor...
a lot of encores and requests ....and got booked for the next time again !!

saturday a 180 miles drive to a big dance hall deep in south germany. soundcheck was good, but we noticed that there were a lot of tourists - mostly people from italy and france , so the beginning was tough, we struggled ourselfs through the first set. it seemed like those people were hearing these songs for the first time in their lives.
second set is our classic set, and all of a sudden we got them !!
it turned out to be a nice evening and we got a lot of shots at the end.
glad we stayed overnight.....

[SixString821]

i had my first gig with my new band about a week and a half ago. we played 45 minutes worth of originals and we got alot of complements, along with getting asked back to play a headlining set in october, so i guess you gotta call the night a success!

haha we have a few videos of the gig posted on our myspace site www.myspace.com/somethingtoshine



theres a really cool thread about everyone's band going on - http://www.tdpri.com/forum/bad-dog-c...your-band.html

it'd be cool to see what everyone is doing band-wise

[SixString821]

the song i posted above is actually untitled as of now, i uploaded the wrong video to youtube, my computer is a mess!

[zoppotrump]

it seems i never make it to my computer when i come home after gigging.
yesterday night we played a county fair at a tiny littel village, but they bulid a pretty big tent with about 250 people and a pretty fine stage.
things started very soft, with a lot of folks dancing. at halftime we were told to get a little rougher, because of lots of young folks had come in.
so we did, and even the the "elder" people turned into rocking folks.
then a lot of the younger ones got really drunk , because of a never ending happy hour at the bar..... first we thought, things might become a little difficult, it was just on the edge of us getting in trouble with some "rock stars", but after we played our famous medley "sweet home alabama/all summer long-tush-honky tonk woman" everybody was satisfied and we finished the gig as planned.
after all, i´m glad the county fair season is over now, due to the weather getting pretty cold at nights.
take care everybody

played a benefit at a local Legion , been years since i visited a Legion .
I made a big boo boo and walked in wearing a hat ..oop!s. Forgot about the no hat rule , almost had to buy a round for the house!
got to try out my new esquire , awesome guitar.

[Tim Bowen]

I played two jobs this past Saturday, but the evening gig was the really fruity one. There was this crazy drunk broad that kept messing with me all night. She sauntered up and blurted unitelligible phrases into my reluctant ear and showered me with spittle on several occasions. I did my sincere best to communicate with this lady as I was singing and playing, but it was totally pointless. Finally, she scrawled a hand written note - on the sheet of wax paper that had formerly supported her basket of hot wings - and stuffed it between my shirt and my relatively expensive musical instrument, which left my shirt and the back of my relatively expensive musical instrument bathing in a thick coat of grease. I removed the sheet of wax paper and attempted to read the note, but no luck - it was some sort of chicken scratched hieroglyphic shorthand. Somewhat miffed by this point, I crumpled the paper up, tossed it aside, and set about to finish my job. This didn't set well with the young lady, who immediately became irate and commenced to raising hell, quite verbally and quite loudly. The other patrons in attendance were noticably irritated with her behavior, so I guess it wasn't just me. I watched as management escorted her out of the building, kicking and screaming all the while. I finished my job, collected my pay, counted and divvied up the tips, packed up, and went home. I've no idea in hell what sort of message this woman was attempting to convey to me. All in a day's work, I suppose.

Yeah if you ever wanna get jumped by a bunch of old geezers just walk into a Legion wearing a hat. I know from experience.

Actually there's not many old timers left in those halls. Anytime I've gigged there it's a pretty young crowd that's inside for the most part. I like most of the Legions I've played, usually pretty friendly bunch.

whoah boy.. not a good night tonight. We have a gig tomorrow night and we are on the radio (and on internet radio.. kpig.com) sunday.... for some reason the bass player brought his buddy a keyboard player... oy yoy yoy... I think he is a good player.... but doesn't know the tunes, no cheat book.... and plays pretty loud.. = oof.

Tomorrow night will be better...

Good things: I took my compressor off my pedal board. I took my sparkle drive off my pedal board. I took my dd3 off my pedal board... I added some stuff... now I have an Award JD10 (wow... we do a couple of 'rockier songs' that I need the drive for) a boss tuner, my ps5 for twin guitar stuff, my homemade phaser and I bought the really giant Danelectro spring king fake tape echo... man, that thing is cool (got it new for 89.00)
... so, I had my sound together.. I played the buckocaster with nocasters all night... love that guitar! Dikkers kicks ass.

I had an awesome gig two weeks ago... they don't come every night.. some nights are just okay (or pretty good for the crowd)... I wish I was better!

[getbent]

okay, friday night gig. my favorite place to play... good house til about midnight then it thinnned out... some nice cougar action... the main singer had a cold and at least half the band had a bad night... it was brutal.. but, the owner booked us for 6 more gigs in the next two months and was super nice and said we were his favorite band... we had several regulars cheering...

I'm tired. Too much work and two stressful band adventures in two day... get through the radio show and re-assess....

Pretty weird how happy the patrons are.. and I am smiling but I get in the car to leave and had that feeling that I was escaping...

Do any of the rest of you guys enjoy it when attractive women flirt with you? Not too overt.. but, it is a real vibe... I have no intentions.... I just kind of dig feeling like I'm attractive to someone... or is that bad or something?

Anyway... it is 2 am and I have to give two speeches tomorrow and take my son to the cal football game... best bag some zzzz's.

If you aren't gigging... don't feel bad... it is not nearly as exciting as it sounds.. I'm friggin tired from the loadin and loadout.

It sounds exciting?!? I keed, I keed ... we do it 'cause we love it. It sure as heck ain't for the money.

I'm back at The River tonite (Saturday), bringing the new (old) Ibanez Artwood!

Mud,

Oh man! I forgot... I played the original buckocaster tonight! that part was awesome... and my jd10 and danelectro spring king (or whatever) was terrific.. that was all good...

Stone me, what a great sound I got tonight! The other guys in the band were delighted, the punters were highly complimentary and the guv'nor booked us again for next week after a mere two songs.

I have lots and lots of amps but this one really hit the spot. Has to be the greatest bargain in the whole music trade.

Tony, Tim's brother Mike here...

It doesn't surprise me that you got a great sound with a Roland Cube...they are outstanding little powerhouse amps!!! As I've gotten older, I've traded in my heavy Fender amps (Hot Rod Deville 4x10, Deluxe Reverb) for a Vox AD-30VT, which tips the scales at a (not) whopping 26.5 lbs, much easier on the back, and kicks ass on the gig!!! Tim & I played (with our drummer Bubba) at our electric gig in Ocean City last night, and (as usual) there was a good crowd there, lots of dancin', drinkin', and general fun being had by all...best part is, we get to do it again tonight...I use my Strat & Gibson SG for tonal diversity, but the Vox sounds sweet regardless of what gets plugged into it...

Rock on!!!

Mike

Indeed - in fact, I also grabbed a Bass Cube 100 recently when it came up almost new on UK eBay at an excellent price.

Thing is, I now have a house full of great amps, large, small, old and new(ish) and can't bring myself to part with any of them. Oh, well, guess the space they occupy helps cut down on the heating bill...

Back in that same pub tonight... Not the Royal Albert Hall but a lot better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick!

Oh, I dunno. My long-time bass-playing pal Jim, whom I'm fond of quoting, once came out with: "Gigs are a bit like sex - even when they're bad, they're still fairly good..."

[Tony474]

Well, here it is, 2 a.m. or so British Summer Time and I just got in from the gig. Went well enough - I used the ESP 400 Tele with the GFS pickups for a change and it sounded nice. And it turned out that, not for the first time, my best buddy's band was in the next pub down the road and they dropped in towards the end of our gig during their break, as they were playing later hours.

So far, so-so, but here's the thing... While we were on our break I nipped out for a smoke and decided to check on the car, which I'd parked in a side road with no parking restrictions at that hour. Imagine my joy to discover a parking ticket on it - this is on a Saturday night - as I'd parked with two wheels on the inch-high kerb. Oh, pooh, thought I (or words to that effect), but I might as well leave it where it is now... Don't you believe it! When I got back to the car after the gig it had been ticketed again at two minutes past midnight - same offence, different day, you see.

This was in the London Borough of Islington, well-known for its animosity towards motor cars and anything else that represents personal freedom of any kind. I mean, one ticket's bad enough for such a minor and trivial matter, but having a so-called "Civil Enforcement Officer" lurking and ready to pounce again as the clock strikes twelve is a bloody disgrace and taking the piss. And these tickets aren't cheap. Not only have they wiped out what I earned from the gig but half as much again too.

Sorry, I'm venting here. I don't know whether this outrageously over-zealous parking enforcement is perpetrated by local authorities in American cities, but I could imagine that people have been shot for less.

Oh well, at least I'll know not to park that way next time - but one ticket would have sufficed for that.

friday:
gig with my trio at the local gin mill.played my Gibson acoustic all night to a nice crowd. a bunch of my buddys from high school showed up and we all did shots and sang a bunch of tunes we used to do at keg partys( cover of the rolling stone came up first, in drunken hamony!) folks seemed to respond best to songs about marijuana and i was suprised at how many drug related songs i know!(Henry, Panama Red, Free Mexican Airforce, Shanty Mama, the list goes on). good gig. got paid 80 bucks
saturday:
GREAT gig! played with the Zydeco Hogs at a beerfest! free beer and a couple hundred people all drinking! ya can't lose! drunk chicks were on stage all night trying out the washboard! did i mention free beer? got paid $200
plus we got out early enough to stop by a club where a friend of mine was playing with his new band, sort of a pop-cover band with a bunch of his originals tossed in. they did a lot of Van Morrison. i was saddened to see that he was playing a PRS in lieu of his tele, or strat. or gretsch C.G. or his gibson 347. but i guess it worked well for him doing all that cover music. he used to be a prolific songwriter with his own band and a few albums under his belt, but he burned out and is just returning after a 3 year hiatus. good to see him back in the saddle. his band:www.asylumhill.com.
Today:
at noon we head for Arlington Ma. to play a dance hall gig with the Z-hogs. the tranny in the van started slippiing in second gear last night so i'm loading the small sound system in the Subaru outback! everyone else is on their own! i'll prolly make $100 today. but that will go right back into the van repair.

that's my weekend guys., a busy one for sure! me likey!

[toadman]

by the way, i love this thread!

[drewsblues]

*yawn*

It's almost 10 and I'm just rolling out of bed. What a great time last night.

I subbed for the guitarist in a four-piece jump blues group; harp, upright bass, drums, me. To say I was a bit nervous beforehand is an understatement. The lead gave me a list of 165 songs and said, "We mostly play tunes from that list." Lot's of Little Walter, Hollywood Fats, Jimmy Reed, T-Bone Walker, Rod Piazza, Big Walter Horton... Then he asked me to provide 15 tunes of my own to sing. He'd start every number with "do you know [insert song here]...?" I'm thinking, note for note? Probably not! Just tell me what key it's in and I'll manage.

The venue was the bar at a schwanky hotel in Dana Point, CA that overlooks the ocean from a cliff. The same place, actually, that my wife and I had our rehearsal dinner 10 years ago. Interesting room. We set up in a corner with sofas and lounge chairs right up next to the band. The harp player's mic stand was inches from the head of a patron when we started up.

Anyway, great fun! The first set was a little shaky, but we all locked in for the second and by the third we had it going pretty good.

Midway through the second set a wedding party came in. Dressed to the nines, ebullient. Drunk. By the end of the third set, they were dancing, hooting (sometimes for the band, even), and drinking some more.

One couple requested, "Moondance," which we did. Somewhat convincingly. The harp player nailed the melody on his chromatic, which really pulled the song together.

The couple dancing not two feet in front of me were practically having sex with their clothes on. I was like: Hey! Don't get anything on my Tele! It being a hotel and all, I imagine they eventually got a room.

I played my Tele, plugged into a TS-9, into my '70 SFDR 15". It sounded better than ever; one of those occasions where the guitar made my playing better. I'm so glad I left the 335 at home.

My beautiful bride dropped in with her mother to listen to a set, had a drink, and then headed back out into the fog for the peace and quiet of home. To top it all off, I got paid; more than I expected, at that, and the drinks were "taken care of" by the bar manager.

Great gig!

[getbent]

Just got home from playing on kpig.com a really great radio station in watsonville. the studio is tiny and we were wedged in pretty tight... but sleepy john is a legend (the dj) and a great opp for the band and just plain fun! my amp was in one room and I was in a bathroom area.. no headphones, so really hard to hear... and when you sing.. the sound just disappears! kinda nerve wracking (I hardly ever get nervous, but I was today) anyway it went fine.. we got great feedback from the folks there and we were asked back! too fun!

I think the next time I'll have a lot better sense of what we need to do... but, it was cool to do our 3 songs and then have them ask if we could another... that never happens on that show (from what I'm told)

So, overall, great time! Yay!

[drewsblues]

GetBent... where on kpig.com do we go to have a listen? I'd love to hear!

[getbent]

db,
The show is called 'please stand by' the band I was playing with is called the buffalo canyon band. I don't know if they archive the show or not... our bandleader got a cd from the guys at the station... I'm sure he'll lend me the cd and I can rip and post it for you if they don't archive...


btw, I remember taking a girl on a date to restaurant called 'the quiet cannon' in Dana Point (prom maybe?) our table was out over the cliff's edge and there was an alarm in case of earthquake... the dinner was woefully expensive... but I remember it was big fun....

We sailed out of the DP harbor when we scattered my dad's ashes... I'd have loved to have heard your band!
