Peter says:

I have a saying. A mantra, really.

"Stuff takes time."

It's an elementary concept, but I am about hard work for instant gratification. I want a huge repertoire, tons of shows, an album, a website, a media campaign, and a national tour, and I want it right now.

Very Veruca Salt of me, I know.

So, "stuff takes time" is important. It's how I remind myself that success is not instantaneous, even when you're busting your ass for it. Arcati Crisis has been anything but instantaneous. We've known each other for over half our lives, but we've only played on each others' songs for half that, and have only officially been Arcati Crisis for half that again. And, it's only in the latter half of that last period that we've finally started to feel both competent and confident - like a real band should.

That gratification, though not instant, is pretty damn satisfying.

Arcati Crisis is a featured act this Friday Upstairs@Zot, a hot new venue off South Street, and we hope that you will stop by!

Zot serves Belgian cuisine with a side of micro brews, and offers plenty of room to chat and mingle. We serve folk/pop/rock with a side of our BFF Lindsay Wilhelmi, plus our recent open mic obsessions, Andra Taylor and Nate Dodge.

We adore this venue and the entire lineup we're featured with. Please stop by and share the love. You can RSVP now!

Arcati Crisis, Andra Taylor, Lindsay Wilhelmi, & Nate Dodge.
