We're playing Gorham brothers music in Syracuse. It's a music shop owned by the brothers from the band engineer.
I needed to buy a new ride cymbal, because I had broken one of mine while recording the last record. The brothers music store doesn't sell any drum stuff beyond drum sticks, so they sent me to a music shop close by. They found me a sweet new ride cymbal, and they also gave me a crazy discount because I was in a touring band.
The show was in a small space, but was very well attended. We blew out one of the fuses twice, though. We ended fine once we got the power situation sorted.
The road to Portland, Maine is long, boring, and we have to drive it at least one more time back to upstate NY. We haven't played in Portland in quite a long time, and with the absence of ken mode, and the show being on a Tuesday night, we didn't expect a huge turnout.
To our surprise (despite the show starting extremely late with bands taking stupidly long sound checks due to technical problems) there was a pretty great turnout. There was a third band added last minute to fill in for ken mode, and people seemed stoked for all bands playing. The sound girl seemed tired and frustrated (probably from the technical issues out of her control), but she also said she did sound for the Ted Nugent show the night prior, which one can expect is quite tiring just to patron.
Off back to NY tomorrow, playing Rochester. Long drives seem to be the MO for this tour.
