TD, 3/3/2012, Reptile Palace (Oshkosh)

I totally forgot to rehash this gig.

We drove up to Oshkosh. The show wasn't promoted and had three out of town bands...so no one really came. We played last (other bands Dangerfield and Perverse Engineer). I think we were all feeling a little inadaquate...but I think we played well. Drove to Appleton and bought an acoustic bass before the gig.

Reptile Palace is a long narrow bar like hundreds of other old bars in Wisconsin. Pool table in back and skateboards on the walls. There's a back door with a small parking lot in back...and another lot down the street a bit. The stage is at the front and the bartender ran the sound. We couldn't hear the vocal monitors. Sound in the room was good. They don't book cover bands.

It snowed. I drove home after the gig and it sucked. Got home at 4:30am and felt like shit for a few days afterwards.

Setlist:
At the Door
Gotta Tell U
Sent It
Gun in Your Grave
Going Down the Drain
Easy Life
1 is for Man
Jack
Bodies a burnin
Better N Better
HSUL
Movin On

Worth noting that in the middle of this set things get pretty intense...but it seemed to work pretty well both sonically and physically. I wasn't so sure about Easy Life into One is For Man...but I survived.
