My thoughts of our first headline show

So we're a few days away from the show on the 19th. It was our third show and our First headlining show. What an exhilarating experience. I've been to and in a LOT of local shows but this show was the best. The first band up was SixL6. I talked to them beforehand and they thought playing acoustically would be a problem, it wasn't. It fits their music, which is southern rock with a splash of subtle alternativeness, perfectly. Man, they were also a TIGHT three-piece. This week they go into the studio to cut their first EP, so be on the look out for that.

Next was a band called Bad Channel. Like this band on facebook, see them live. Do whatever you can to see this band live. They are mind 'sploding. I had the pleasure of playing bass for the band a few months ago and they blew me away then so when I had the opportunity to put this show together, the first band I wanted was Bad Channel. I can't say enough great things about this band. When they get big, and play stadiums, I hope they remember the ol' Cute Scenarios and maybe we can get a free Bad Channel show if not the chance to open up for them.

Closing out the night was your friendly, neighborhood, Cute Scenarios. I was so nervous for this show. joie and I as a unit have never done anything like this.It's kind of Scary and a bit daunting the first time out. We stepped from under the protective wing of Cheers 2U and The Raygun. Our feet were in the fire and I think we glowed. Our first song was an of Montreal ditty called Sex Karma. We also premiered a song called Climate Change. Unfortunately Joie doesn't sing much on this song, but when she does...Nearly euphoric. When her voice is on, you can't beat it. The only thing I regret about the show was that we forgot to put in our song called My Heroin(e). Biggest oversight ever.

So now we're gearing up for the Tutu 5K which is this Saturday! Be sure to come out and remember to bring the family. It's a great event for a great cause.

Be well,

Jono

That's right! in a matter of days joie and Jono will be playing another show. The Raygun asked CS to open for them again and not being a band to turn down an opportunity of any kind, they said yes.

For those wondering what the set will consist of...They will play only one song that you've heard before, the rest will be new to you. New Covers, new look (Yes, Jono has vowed not to wear the never-nude shorts in public again.)

So Come out to the free show!

joie and myself hope you're getting ready for the 5K and the blindingly fun after-arty-party. We're working on our set right now. We'll be playing about 99% new material. An amazing time will be had by all.

Yesterday I was practicing photography. I did an abstract self-portrait series of my wife and I, then I went out into my neighborhood and snapped some photos. But before I did that, I took picture that I'm dedicating to joie. Pretty soon, once we get to the point when we can use backing tracks, when not singing, joie will be playing bass guitar. So enough talk, here it is:

Anyway, I just wanted to show that to you guys. Hopefully I'll find more stuff to blog about and make this site worthy of coming back again and again.
