Heck yeah, we had a great time taking the opening slot for Pierced Arrows last Friday night at ol' Sam Bond's. Our set was well-received; we saw lots of friends and they saw us, too. Underlings Prac has not happened with the usual frequency this month, being that I've been moving to Portland - I think I'm there now - but we rocked it nonetheless, maybe with just a few rough edges; just like our crowd, some would say. The Soothesayers took the stage after us, and they had a super-charged set, sounding totally different without their mainstay keyboard player Jenn :( we were all disappointed that she wasn't there, but hell yeah, they rocked, and Sam's vocals were as chilling as ever. Pierced Arrows are a big fave around the Underlings camp, so we were in the room and paying full attention the whole time they were up doing their thing. They sounded raw, ragged and real and hit on several Dead Moon songs that the crowd were happy to hear. Toody and Fred weer nice as always and we wished them well, collected our shit and went home for konk time. We prbably don't have to tell you that our CD release is later this month at Luckeys, but we will tell you that we will be thrilled if you come out and see us. It's taken us 5 years and a lot of sweat, blood and motivation to scrape up the loyal cadre of fans that we have, but we are always recruiting new members to our flock, so come out and congregate with us on April 27th down at the ol' Luckeys in Eugene. We'll take your money and give you an earful in return.
peace out,
Ed/ the 'lings
Dream come true gig! Jen was sorely missed tho, it's true. Such a pleasure to share that amazing night with you guys!
