Reggie’s

Well, while I don’t have many photos to show of that… show… I’ll at least tell the story.

We played between bands for some local groups in the area, particularly Aktar Aktar, good buddies and a very fine band. I had been working a remix of one of their tracks for a solid month between our Elbow Room show and Reggie’s.

Aktar Aktar – Lost In Transit (Professor Kliq Remix)

That seemed to go over well, but the overall rhythm of how we were injected into the show was very abrupt and unnatural. We’re a band. Plain and simple. Braydon and I don’t just “spin” from one track to the next… if you watch any of the available YouTube videos of the Elbow Room show, you’ll see what I mean.

Braydon and I learned an awful lot that night. Some things didn’t go as well as they could have, but I still feel pretty confident about how we did if from no other indication than how we were received by the crowd.

I’m writing this post from a hospital bed. That’s a whole nother story I’ll probably elaborate on later today. In the meantime, check out Aktar Aktar’s myspace page and listen to that remix. I’ll have some more stuff for you guys later on. Thanks for readin’ and stay up.
