Garrigan Bros.
September 22, 2008 Filed in: Touring
The show this weekend was a lot of fun. I think doing the road edition of the podcast enhanced the enjoyment for me.
If you follow the podcast, you probably are aware that they've been a bit late this month. The first podcast didn't make it up until the 8th. This second part didn't make it until the 22nd. I think that's OK. I'm sorry they are late. Better late than never.
I think we had our first good Garrigan Bros. show. We've played four so far. The first few were pretty disorganized, but fun. This past show, we really locked in. We even wrote a song at the rehearsal, "Imaginary Jumpsuit." The song opens the set and is featured on the podcast. It was pretty effortless, which, in terms of writing, is a good thing. I started playing a Genesis-esque synth line, Joe started the drum beat, Jay had some song fragments, I wrote a quick bridge, Joe named the song. Pure collaboration.
I thought it would be mildly interesting to provide some insight into what really goes on at a show. There's a lot of waiting around, a lot of talking, a lot of bs'ing, and even more waiting around. I guess that's why the podcast is twice as long as usual this time. I apologize for some of the bad language and shady situations. I'd be a liar if I didn't include some of that stuff. We've all heard worse. I tagged the podcast as explicit in iTunes. So, please use discretion...I know some folks make it a family event to listen to my podcast.
Enjoy the podcast. As always, please leave feed back on the message board. Thanks!
