So my new band, we've been together for only a few months, played our first gig yesterday. We played at a biker bar called the Screaming Chicken Saloon while they were having a Bike Wash, which included ladies washing the bikes in bikinis.
To give you little insight of this place, there is an outdoor stage, and right next to the stage is a stripper pole!
I was nervous. I hadn't played a real gig for 20 years, since my band after high school played at the Roxy. I've played a backyard party or two, and this was with other guitar players, but this was the first time I've done one as the only guitarist. I guess I wasn't the only one nervous, we messed up a lot.
We ended up playing to about 50 people or so, which was more than I expected. But after I settled in, I had a lot of fun.
We have a shitload of pics, including some "flashing" from the girls in the bikinis, I'll post them once I get them from my friend. He took over 600 pics!
