This was the first show Rosie came to. For those of you who don't know Rosie, she is a degenerate drunk, addict & whore. But I love her. She was so barred out that I had to strap her to my back during the show and afterward we had everybody sign her. She was out cold.
We were opening that nite, but we were late for sound check and because it can take Gabe up to 40 minutes to set up his massive drumkit we only had time to play 20 mins of a 45 min set. Still we had a ball. It's not too often I get to play a set with a blowup doll strapped to my back.
Soulbound, My Own I were on after us and Saturate was headlining. Now when Saturate took the stage their lead singer proceeded to state that they don't need to rely on gimmicks. That they're all about the music, which was a direct shot at me and Rosie. I kind of respect the balls it took to do that with me looking directly at him, but what didn't make sense is I made it a point for me and her to stick around and support their band especially since on one else was there.It's funny to me because Gabe, Jay and Rick are amazing musicians, and I say that with all the modesty I can muster. They are the best as far as top musicians in Houston. It's just that we LOVE to have FUN. Period. End of story. And would never want to be on stage, taking ourselves too seriously, insulting someone who made a point to stay for your set so at least one person could hear you play. I cannot overemphasize enough that there was nobody there for their show.
Looks like we won't be doing anymore shows with them Saturate boys.
