Last night we got together at Lindsay's apartment for a few band photos before the gig. Now that Bluestone's sound is defining itself, it's time to look at marketing ourselves around town. Nik's come up with some new graphics, and I got myself a new suit for gigging. It might come in handy for weddings and funerals too. Hopefully Nik'll have all the new imagery for me to update our website later this week.
Anyway the gig was pretty good. There were a couple of guitar leads that didn't exactly go according to plan, but I was pretty happy about how I improvised. The other lads played out of their skins. The best part was that when I messed around with the format of songs as practiced, everyone was relaxed enough to go with it. Despite the nasty chill outside, we had a good little crowd for most of the night.
The only downer was that the new management stiffed us for half our fee, claiming some misunderstanding with Garth and Kate about the money and time we play. They say they'll sort it out and get back to me this week. If we end up not getting the rest of our whack, I'd be happy about canning our further dates there and concentrating on getting a demo recording done to get other gigs elsewhere. Stay tuned.
