last night we headlined a show at
webster hall in nyc. it was a good night! i kinda had a feeling it would be
because on my way into the city i heard the black eyed peas song "i got a
feeling" like 4 times. i really think that was just for me and has nothing
to do it them being really popular or that song being a radio hit. haha
so where was i? ah yes... the show. we had some cool openers too. Matt Harke,
Eren Cannata and Five Times August (all were really good people). we hit
the stage around 11ish. i dunno why we started so late, but the crowd was
pretty full so i was happy. people tend to ask me on show days "do you get
nervous before a show?" i don't. i get excited. i get really happy and
pumped. honestly i love nothing more than performing in front of a jam packed
room. that's the ultimate for me. and hearing a full room cheer after a song is
probably my 2nd favorite feeling, right next to hearing a crowd sing along to
every word of a song. i don't think that could ever get old. its a mixed
feeling... kind of like being so proud that people actually love your music
enough to learn it by heart and also a bit taken aback like "damn, people
actually love my music enough to learn it by heart??" needless to say, i
was smiling ear to ear all night!! thank you to everyone who made it out. : )
another highlight to the evening was the introduction of some new members in
the line up. it was the first show of our new lead guitarist Gary Warner and
keys/synth player Andrew Monday. they're great musicians and both super nice
guys. i'm very happy to have them be a part of The Constant.
i'm home now, packing my bags for LA. i leave at 11am and haven't really started
putting any clothes into my luggage. i don't know why i ever learn when it comes
to things like last minute packing and such. i need to be more on time or at
least work harder on trying to be. if you miss me, let me know. show dates are being booked as we speak and cant
even wait to be on stage again.
