Last night at Snakeweed, we set up shop for rehearsals over the next few days (well, save for Wednesday...we need a break!). The Great Spy Experiment were there mixing their second album, and the tracks that they were playing sounded excellent...some of the new ones reminded me a bit of Mona or Kings of Leon. I think it's going to be a hit.
After going through the first run of our set, we cracked open a bottle of Angostura 5 year old Carribean rum that the kind folk at Quaich Bar sent our way. Can't go wrong with a rum & coke as a refresher. Then we blazed through another set run, planned the channel I/O list for the mixing board, and other miscellaneous scheduling details on the props and other good stuff. As Amanda was saying, it's unbelievable how much effort and preparation is going into what will essentially amount to one hour on stage! Still, the fun is in the journey.
Hopefully Leonard will bring a proper camera tonight and I can ditch the iPhone photos.
