Wow, things went pretty good last night.
I was more terrified + nervous than even before my first ever gig (which is crazy). I don't know why I was so scared. There just seemed to be a lot of people that had been messaging me saying - I can't wait to see your band - I'm coming on Monday! Argh. It was scarey.
The strangest thing happened though, which has never happened before - When I got on stage my terror completely disapeared. It's just not been like that. Everytime I've played a live gig (about 30-40 times probably) my nerves have stuck with me until I left the stage. But not last night. It rocked!! The drummer was solid as a rock. I love him for it, it was great for him to step up like he did. The main guitarist (I won't say lead, because the other one plays some lead too), messed up a bit, apparantly. But I couldn't hear him. Besides no one else noticed.
It was the best time I've ever had on stage + people actually liked us
Although our ex-drummer + all his friends turned up. It made me sick. They were there to judge us (it was the first gig we've had since we got rid of him). It made me so mad. I didn't acknowledge any of them. I think that's why I was so nervous because I knew they were looking for holes. It pissed me off too because I got off stage + was handing my flyers out + the bass player (who is actually an average guitarist apparantly 'demoted' to playing bass
), asked how I thought it went and I just said
"aww you know there were a few mistakes but we enjoyed it."
He just said " yeah, we could tell you'd made mistakes"
wtf?! There was just no need to say that. But then there were loads of nice people who said nice things afterwards.
We played with a really kick-ass ska band too. They rocked. Really nice boys too. I gave them all SG stickers + told them it was a 'punk rock porn site' + they got all wide eyed - bless 'em
Hopefully we'll be playing with them again...
Now I'm thoroughly exhausted, but I am going to try + see the Two Towers tomorrow. Hopefully there'll be tickets left for an afternoon showing. + I got some Pictures from last night, so I'll try + get them on my website...
Ugh... is there such a thing as adrenaline hang over?
