Monkey on Fire
Yacht Rock played our monthly show at the Park Tavern last night to a nice sized crowd--not sold out or over-sold out, but a comfortable sized group. For this one, we pulled out all of our stoner stuff, inspired by the movie Dazed and Confused. It rocked a little more than usual, but the crowd still dug it.
Mark Dannells got his old amp (the Egnater!) back together for the first time in a long time, cleared some of the pedals off his pedalboard, and played the absolute hell out of our gig. He was on fire the whole night--great solos throughout. I think (same as any of us), that being able to hear your instrument clearly makes a huge difference in the way one plays. If it doesn't sound right, it's going to be a tough gig. Anyway, Monkeyboy was super awesome last night. Long live the Egnater!
Other than that, it was business as usual on a muggy night in the tent. See y'all at Chastain!
