We (Yacht Rock) played at the 10 High last night. It was pretty obvious that we were shut out by the football game. The crowd never showed up, and the gig was lost to indifference pretty quickly.
I played well. We had Ganesh on drums, K Spence on vocals (in for Nick), and Shannon on guitar, so the set list was all really safe stuff--things we've been playing forever. There were some strange guitar chords in the middle of Sister Golden Hair and the intro of Hey 19, and we did the radio edit version of My Life…speaking of which, that was a game of musical chicken--the vocals went one way and the band went the other, and at some point we (the band) had to jump when it was finally obvious that the vocals were not coming back to us. Thankfully, we'd heard that mistake before--almost predicted it.
Lido needed more bass in the intro.
Anyway…it was the 10 High. Too many dudes--always a sign that we're going to make no money.
There's always next week!
