And Yet MORE Missed Gigs...and So Much More

Fuck I have fallen all the way down on this blog. I know no one reads it, but it was my way to track my music shit and not I have failed.

Well, let's see.

1. The SVFD show on 11/5/2016 was our last. We broke up shortly after.
2. FW stopped rehearsing. We haven't officially broken up, but it has been almost a year since we got together.
3. DH (Breeders Trib) managed one rehearsal after our 2nd show. In theory we are still together, but inactive.
4. TD broke up after much drama, probably several years after it should have. JP is still harassing RS about it.
5. CJ is still together and rehearsing weekly. We just booked our first show since I think 4/4/2015
6. COL chugs along steadily, rehearses most weeks, released an album and two singles ("Oars in Hands" cover of Barristacide for Local Love Fest and "Butt Stuff" for cd presale backers) and has gigs in spurts for some reason.
7. RS, CT, Educational Davis and I formed a new band (tentatively named TN). We play RS's original songs. We've got about half a set so far.

COL at The Vault

Almost forgot about this show too. Played with Indonesian Junk, The Pukes (liked them a bunch), and No Hoax for TLT's b-day. It snowed. I forget the setlist. JC had the worse ass gas I've ever smelled in my life (I gagged). Was introduced to the warehouse underground of Madison...it was enlightening.

COL and FW at Frequency 12/21/2015

Nearly forgot about this double-header with Nick and Jon's new bands. I'll have to dig the setlists out.

All went well. Attendance was average. I used lots of pedals. I think it was my best effort with COL to date. But might be last COL show forever. Who knows? Could be first (legit)/last FW show forever too.

COL, Frequency, 11/17/2015

We were a last minute add for this my first gig with the Cats.

1. It rained.
2. The show started an hour late
3. One of the other bands didn't show up...cancelled via comment on the FB event page a few hours beforehand #classy
4. Power was dirty, buzzing, and shocking JC through mic.
5.  TLT was having amp/guitar issues.
6. Stage sound was a mush.
7. It was just us and the touring band watching each other's sets pretty much...plus a half dozen friends from other local groups that stopped by for our set.

Welcome to the rock and the roll.

Setlist to come.
