Yacht Rock played the Eats and Beats benefit at Buckhead Theatre last night. It's a children's charity event which features a multitude of local restaurants, bands of chefs, and us. Sort of a hipster Taste of Dunwoody, with (by my picky eater standards) some rather exotic food.
The stage is a good size at the Theatre, the green room is nice, and the load in is pretty easy. It doesn't have any vibe, unfortunately, and I don't have any feeling for what it sounds like out front. The crew is also pretty dysfunctional. We made the best of it.
The chef bands were decent/fun. We sang Fat Bottom Girls with them (uhhh...I don't know that song) and Bencuya, Nick, and I blew through a wildy chaotic version of Let's Go Crazy. Ford Fry plays really loud guitar. Don't go near it.
Our part of the show was one ninety minute set. The crowd was with us right from the beginning. Fun gig.
