last night. we played our second gig for this year... it was just a short notice gig since i only decided on this last Wed's... Soft Pillow Kisses was supposed to be the one having a gig last night somewhere in Xavierville but Apple told me (a week ago)that it was her Dad's Birthday... i was going to push through with it if only i was able to find a suitable session singer but i later learned that Backbeat has scheduled a gig at Club Dredd... So had to let go of that Xavierville thing and just let one of my bands play at that Dredd thing... I decided on Candyaudioline since we haven't been practicing lately... Playing there was a good excuse for having practice... Sadly, Ecay could not commit herself the night before because she was feeling sick... I really wanted to play so i decided to look for a sessionist... Ex- Pillow / Candy Jinky was the first one that enterd my mind but she too was down with flu... Running out of Options last Thursday, i decided on Mavi... i asked Deana if she has Mavi's number and after getting it from Deana, i called her at once and begged her to sing for us... i was surprised at how easy i got her to agree inspite of the fact that she had lots of things lined up, work related, during the day of the gig...
so last night, without the benefit of practice again, we took the stage... we did only four songs since the gig started very late... all i can say is that is was quite fun... Everyone was happy seing her again specially Maggot who spent the rest of the afternoon and early evening trying to figure out who our sessionist singer was going to be... Me too enjoyed the whole thing and i was even surprised that Mavi was Talking on stage... i guessed she missed singing for us... and she did quite well inspite of the fact that she was a bit bothered at not hearing herself the whole time... Deana wasn't able to see us play but she did come just to see Mavi again... I promised Mavi that i'll let her off the earliest possible time but she decided to stay with us just a bit more... she decided to leave at around 1:30am... i offered to take her to her place... Maggot and Deana joined me...
After the Dredd gig, Me, Dennis, Maggot, Kel, Deana and Lorenz went to Timog to eat... as usual, we talked about the the just concluded gig... everyone was pleased with the gig... i guess they were all surprised as to my getting Mavi to session... actually, i had my reasons and i just wanted to try something out just to prove a point... i can say that i was able prove that something... so where does this all lead then? nothing really... it just made me miss those days...
those days where everyone was so eager to be with one another...
I'll be postiing some picures i took and also a video clip or two of last night's gig as soon as i get a chance to do so...
