Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We play our originals mixed with some cover material full time in a band with a different name. We are fortunate to play music for a living. It is hard work playing 4 to 5 nights a week and loading gear, but lots of jobs are hard work. Almost every gig has memorable moments. Maybe the spontaneous reaction to our music mixed with alcohol is a consistent formula for the creation of memorable moments!
