This is what I guarantee to be an extremely rare post-show blog as I am sitting at the merch table.
The Young Widows have had a rough day. They showed up as we were soundchecking and as kids lined up outside, waiting to enter. They did say that their van runs super smooth now so that's good news.
The sound system here had a fucked up sub woofer so that was the cause for even more delay. They got it fixed though.
The soundman was listening to the Dismemberment Plan's "The Emergency and I" before we played. It was appreciated as, typically, you have to endure terrible hardcore and lame-ass wannabe punk bands. Last night in D.C. was an AWESOME batch of jams featuring field recorded island songs and a lot of great dub stuff.
Our set went well and had a pretty good response, maybe one of the better ones. Given the quick soundcheck I was pleased. It's a weird room, being the downstairs of a church but it got the job done.
I asked for more Jesus in the monitors. That was a joke. (Do I need to explain why?)
Guitar nerd kids liked it. They like pedals.
The backstage is the actual church. It's very old and has this HUGE pipe organ. I can't wait to go back and get some photos and video. It's kinda' weird to have a large tub full of iced beers back there for the drinkin'.
I don't smell so good.
