ooh ooh I gotta few
This is among the worst gigs I’ve ever played:
in some kids backyard. My sister’s ex boyfriend and his friend were there heckling me, it was really cold outside, and I could barely feel the frets on my guitar. It was back in the days of borrowing amps too. Probably my 2nd or 3rd show with my former one man band, the Spectral Presence. (which was down tempo 1 guitar and drum machine shoegazy post-punk)
Here’s another one:
me playing bass in my friend’s band
We were playing outside in the summer, so it wasn’t nearly as cold. We were playing for people waiting outside of Gamestop for whatever the newest Madden was that year. Haha.
And another
this was my first show ever 5 years ago around Xmas time- I had 4 noisy punk rock songs that I wrote- Nighingale, Labrat, 3rd World Hero, and something else I can’t even remember. I used 4 pedals- a blues driver, a frequency analyzer, a crybaby, and a johnson delay that my friend and I rehoused and added an expression pedal to control the time knob. So basically my board was all about making noises. And I practiced with the drummer and bass player once. So after about 2 songs in, my guitar went out of tune, so I just kept playing, and began improvising the lyrics. 3rd World Hero was about the desire to liberate sex slaves in poor countries by the force of a gun. So yeah. . . fun times. My hair was down to my shoulders back then.

I can’t find the unprocessed version of this picture, but this was my first gig as “the spectral presence” about 3 years ago, notice the fabio cardboard cut out in my friends basement in the backgroundthis was about a year and a half ago, last gig I played I think.
man my hair looked so dumbso my band did this 20 minute song to end our show- so in the middle of the song I asked the celloist in this other band for his bow
so he brought it up and started playing that thing too
fun times
BTW I’m never having a haircut like that again
I look like a total dork
