Last night we played show #2 with Bandazian and Social Viscosity. Bandazian played a strong set pulling from their newly released album, O Pioneer. It was a quieter show than their usual melodic rock bluster and let some of the funk and jazz influences through the mix.
Our set as Clarence Thomas Action-Adventure Unit was marred by technical difficulties the whole way through -- no guitar in my monitor so I couldn't hear Aaron the entire time, problems with Aaron's pedal wigging out and his guitar breaking a string mid-guitar solo, my handheld tape player giving me grief -- but even so there were some high points. Props especially go out to our friend Timberly Shull of Bandazian for playing bass on a blues that Aaron wrote. Unfortunately in the hustle to soundcheck and get the show started, we weren't able to set up the Minidisc recorder. Maybe next time, eh?
Speaking of which, we have another (final?) show coming up on August 29th at Miller's with Quiet My Dear. Expect some new material and, possibly, a more experimental direction.
And last but not least: Burial dropping a set for the DJ Kicks series and possibly "treating" some of the material, eh? Excitement builds!
