So, I’m in a band again. We’ve only been jamming for a short while now, but the chaos is already well underway. We decided to play an open stage night before we were ready, just because we could. I dig this momentum/vibe. Plus, I got to break out the FlipOut guitar for its first show! I didn’t realize how much I miss gigging out. It’s addictive.
As far as a style, it’s still taking shape… but right now it’s stripped down punk/rock/pop, and it’s sloppy. We’ll have some covers, some originals, whatever we feel like as time goes on, I guess. Most importantly, we’re having fun. If you’ve seen a handful of local ‘Burgh bands in the past 10 years, chances are you’ll recognize all the players here.

To see what you missed, here’s almost our entire 3-song set thanks to Bethany. Watch your speakers… her camera didn’t like our volume, I guess.

And, there are a few photos (thanks again to Bethany)…
I also have to say that I also learned that the Thunderbird Cafe in Lawrenceville is awesome. It’s a great room, it has a menu devoid of shellfish, and the crowd was a nice mellow mix form all walks of life. While I’m at it, host band Craig King & CBG Connection were awesome dudes. They were very welcoming, and they rocked the place out with some funk/blues/rock/jazz insanity.
If for some reason you want both videos, you can get a zip of both of them in mp4 format here: http://drop.io/EatB_06282010_TBC
Hey Bert, I thought we were pretty good Bert. Some of my favorite things are sloppy Bert. Like Joes.. and Seconds. Bert. Hey Bert….

This is only going to get more ridiculous.

…and this is without much encouragement. Once we get that… what comes after ridiculous? Ludicrous? Preposterous?
