Gigography - Modified Arts, Phoenix, AZ 6-26-09












A drive out to the 100+ degree desert for our first out of state show. There was a lot of sweating. A big thanks to local AZ band The Great Migration for giving us a backline and saving us a trailer rental.

Overdue Gigographies

Ok, we've played a number of shows, and haven't reported on them. Obviously that has caused an uproar, and we can set it right now by saying, we played shows, and most of them were mostly awesome. Accurate setlists would be hard to come up with, especially since in two cases, we ended up switching all kinds of things around from what we had written out. But here's some highlights:

The Hotel Cafe, June 5th

We played The Beauty in Sadness for the first time in about a year. Then the Hotel Cafe apparently had to replace the roof, because we tore holes through it with a loud audience enhanced cover of Good Lovin' by The Rascals.

The Renaissance Hotel, June 11th

The first night of a 3 week residency kicked off in a rather late fashion, due to the Lakers going into overtime, and us not wanting to disturb the rabid fanbase gathered in the bar to watch. Once we were sure we weren't going to get our asses kicked for interrupting the game (and Dana was done crying over the Lakers winning), we launched into a 100 minute acoustic set full of songs we don't get the chance to play all that often, including fan (Vince) favorites Come November, as well as lesser played album tracks The Rapture, and Let it Out.

Malibu Winery, June 12th

Our first outdoor show in quite some time took some getting used to, but once we settled in we delivered a 110 minute set of full on The Quiet rocking. Our second full set in a row saw a few other rarely played fan favorites (Vince and Stacia) like Go it Alone, and thanks to an amp delay, the first She Was Like Yesterday since 2006. Key learning: if your fingers are cold and slightly numb, it's not easy to try pulling off Sir Duke.

Life on Wilshire, June 15th

Matt and Brendan showed up and played 3 songs acoustic-- Summers Gone, One More Chance, and On the Sideline. These aren't highlights, it's just what happened.
