Christopher Cash played at the Hot Monkey Love Cafe Friday night. We played really well but there was little to no crowd there, unfortunately.
Afterwards we went to Denny's to talk about the band. We made some guidelines about gigging and rehearsing and everyoen was satisfied, I think.
In other news it turs out my art.com gallery has been reasonably popular; I have sold over two dozen images out of it; "Colosseum at Dusk" is th most popular followed closely by one of the B&W surfer shots.

Two Gigs in One Night
Last night both of my bands played. Christopher Cash played for an hour from 8 to 9 roughly and then Spurious Emissions played from 9 to 11. Roughly. Very roughly.
A few weeks earlier two of the Spurious guys called the "production company" to get the scoop on the stage set up and to get an idea of what to expect and what we'd need to bring. It sounded very good on paper - 3500 W sound system, lots of monitors and a light show. They had a sound guy and a stage hand and so we figured that'd be great.
Both bands tend to have a lot of gear; Cash switches off between acoustic and electric guitar regularly and we have two keyboards and 4 vocal mikes. Spurious has a similar set up plus we wanted all the amps mic'ed. The sound guys were swamped with work and their gear wasn't reliable; we had to delay a long time. Spurious went on 45 minutes after our scheduled time due to technical problems at their end and our monitor system was very hit and miss.
It was also very hot; I soaked through both shirts I wore and I'll need to get them into dry cleaning first thing Monday morning.
Both bands played OK but I'd like to get that night back.
