More Mojo in Charm City

The Mojo

Excellent night in Baltimore, and great working with Andy, Erica and everyone at the Mojo. The trip from Northern VA to Northeast Baltimore… in rush hour… we may as well have been going to Cincinnati. We played first, with a 45 minute, 10 song set (set list)… great sound on stage. Tried opening things up again in the outro of Good Again, seemed to work pretty well. Things really get rockin’ on an intimate stage like that. The closed-circuit TV set-up is a really cool thing about this club… you can watch (and hear) the other bands from the comfortable upstairs lounge, which is newly graced with framed Jackie Brown posters. Another show here is in the works for January…

Another Great Night At Iota

Live at IOTA, Sun DEC 7th, 2003
Live at IOTA
Sun DEC 7th, 2003

It was a cold, wintry Sunday night in Arlington, but there was rock to be had inside the cozy Iota Club and Cafe last night. Only our second show with Chuck on bass (and first at Iota), and things felt really tight. The stage is actually big enough now that when there’s not another band’s gear already set up, we’ve got a real nice amount of space to work with… can set the amps back a bit (and turn them up a bit). First gig with the new guitar rig, and it worked great. Still may switch out the second amp (the Mesa), but for now it’s happening. Dave on sound was gold as usual, and a genuine pleasure to work with… it’s just plain fun up there when it sounds that good; a great room. Our set clocked in right at one hour… we were just getting warmed up, too. Scott and Mike from Carroway did a cool acoustic duo opening set, and Cliff Hillis and the Forward Thinkers closed out the night with an excellent full-on rock set, great guitars and harmonies. Baltimore (at the Mojo) coming up this Thursday…

Radio, Radio…

I‘ve really got to get some satellite radio happening in the van before the next road trip, and be able to escape the hijacked public airwaves. Locally, there’s brief respite at D.C.’s WGMS 103.5 FM, now weighing in with their “Classical Countdown” for the holidays… the Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto #3 broadcast yesterday was the best performance I’ve heard yet…
