November 19th Covington, KY

Big night.

This show was the record release show for Covington's new album, Devised Without A Plan, which hit stores on November 15th. Turned out to be a really great show...mainly because we were playing with three other really good bands.

First up was Alone At 3am. They have been working with Mike at Candyland on their new record, which so far sounds AMAZING. Very excited to hear the finished product. These guys get better/tighter/more fun to watch each time I see them. Probably because you find yourself getting "into" their songs more and more each time you hear their music.

Next up was Humans Bow Down. A band that I also find myself enjoying more and more every time I see/hear them. They seem to take great pains to make sure their sound/tones on stage are very good, which makes a band sound that much better when they play. Very good stuff.

We played third, which was cool. Our set started off well enough I thought, but seemed to lose some momentum as it went on. Partially due to things within our control, and outside our control. Ahh well, what can you do. The new songs feel great to rock out on stage, which is a good sign.

Our old friends in Covington were up next. By that time, there was quite a good crowd of people there to see them. They hadn't played a show in over a year, so there was definitely a lot of anticipation for their set. They opened with a new tune, and proceeded to rock out most of the songs off of Devised. The set was going great until at one point, a scrum seemed to break out in front of the stage. It looked a lot like this:

After some very fancy footwork, a brief stoppage of play, and some smooth taking by Kevin Schmidt, the band was back at it. They seemed to pick up right where they left off. The guys sounded very tight, clearly they were ready for the show. Hopefully this show served as a catalyst to motivate them to play out more.

My head hurts...
