Tonight we’ll be playing our first show of 2013. It’s also the first show we’ve played as a full band since… well, about 10 months ago. It’s the first show we’ve played where Alan gets to show off his fancy new wedding ring, where Kate and I have to have a babysitter… it’s kind of a big deal for us on a personal level.
It’s also the first night we’re using some new gear. Alan uses an iPad for a good deal of his synth voices and sampling. He used an Alesis iodock (i think) last year. He’s moved over to an Akai SynthStation 49. Tonight he’ll debut that. He’s also using a new flugelhorn.
I’ve updated by pedal board quite a bit. I’m also running through a Fender Blues Jr. rather than the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe you may have seen last year.
Kate’s rig is the same, but we’re hoping to make some additions soon (note: if you’d like to help us REALLY upgrade her setup, please buy some albums on bandcamp or come out to a show).
All that said, if you’re into gear, and want to check out some new stuff, we’d love to see you tonight at the Art Bar. We’ll get started around 8:30.
A really nerdy band.
