Tin Roof Recap

Hunter and I had a great time this weekend avoiding the downtown bridge run crowd and getting ready for/performing our set at the Tin Roof on Saturday. From the beginning:

After getting off work on Friday and hanging with Rob and Keenan at my place for a bit, I went out to Hunter's to practice. We practiced our set until around 11, then we headed out to Folly to meet up with Jess, and some Clemson friends of ours who were in town. After a couple beers, we headed back to Hunter's where Jess and Hunt cooked up a bevy of drunken delights that I was happy to dig into. I crashed on their couch in order to avoid downtown craziness due to the bridge run on Saturday morning.

We got up pretty early Saturday morning in order to squeeze in a few more hours of practice before the show. We got to Tin Roof at 4, set up our equipment (while chopping it up with a Tin Roof regular who recognized us from Kulture Klash), and had some lunch at Hometeam BBQ. Here's what the setup looked like:

There were some great friends out at the show. Of course, Rob and Keenan made it out; as well as Rebecca, Josh, Patty and Annie, Tara, Flatbroke and Allison, Sonar, and KJ. Even Charleston's most fashionable superfriends (Dalia and Ayoka) made it through on the late tip. As expected, Sean and Lesley from Tin Roof made everything super easy on us, and paid us before we even went on... I don't think that's ever happened before.

We had a good time playing the set... although we were getting kinda tired towards the end. There was definetely some watch-checking going on during the last hour. I had forgotten how tough it can be to pull some of these blends off live at such a high stage volume and without being able to hear what's coming from the headphones. It was nice to get back on stage and do a set with Hunter tho. I taped the set (like literally, with a tape deck. If you look at the pic above, the tape deck is on top of the monitor box next to me) and after I listen to it--and if it's any good--we may put it out for your listening pleasure.

We got asked some questions by a very nice girl from the City Paper. She took some photos and got our contact info. Keep an eye out for us in the next issue of City Paper (I think they come out on Wednesdays) cause we might be in it.

Come Check the BGBs Tomorrow

Tomorrow (sat, March 27th) the Bubbleguts Bros. will be playing at Tin Roof from 5 to 8 pm. No cover, $1.50 PBR drafts, snacks and shit, and if you bring your own T-shirt you can get an original screen print on it for $10. Come through and check our first show since Kulture Klash V.

Return of the Blog

Sorry for the extended absence of the blog lately. I got kinda tired of just posting youtube videos of songs I like. Anyway, I'm gonna try to continue posting here and not slackin off.

In addition to this being a return of the blog post, it's also a return of the Bubbleguts Bros. post. Hunter and I will be playing at the Tin Roof this Saturday in support of a few bands as well as a John Pundt screenprinting party. More details to come later in the week.
