We have our first show on Saturday

A Thousand Threads · 06.14.2007, 04:35 AM

First show with our new band "Nematomorpha" is going to take place on Saturday.
We´re going to play at a festival called "Festival des Politischen Liedes" (english: festival for the political song), wich first take place in the former GDR (German Democratic Republic).
The festival is curated and organized by the Communist Party of Austria, that will be fun. haha

anyways
I´m starting to feel nervous.
I´m kind of a stage-fright person, that caused many "too drunk" shows with my former band. I really don´t want to exceed the 3 beers limit for this time and i hope we won´t fuck it up.

Good luck to you. Burn the house and your own energy. I will eat a carrot in tribute to it all.

oh really, I would suggest staying cool and sober, take a nice few deep and slow breaths before going up to play. Good luck playing and make a good time of it.

drink heaps of beer and take lots of drugs

Just try not to think too much of playing, usually once you are onstage for a song or two the nervousness goes away.

I've taken cold pills before to mellow me out a bit before playing...a few drinks may not hurt, I've never done that, but I know people who do.

Have fun.

Remember what Linus Tate said (in the sadly underseen movie Bandwagon)
"Do you love the music, or do you love the crowd?"

The gig was great and we really had fun.

The whole thing started kind of bad, we had soundcheck at 10:30am and everbody had a hangover.
Then the gig itself was cool, the audience seemed to be really into it and wanted us to play an encore.
We got lots of positive feedback, that was nice.
The curator came over and said he wanted us as next year´s main act, haha.
The sound guys wanted us to play at another festival and
we arranged a gig with Gungatz, the band we were playing with.
BorderCross (a local organisation) added us to one of their evenning programms in August.

I really enjoyed the weekend.
