Last night we played at Cafe 939 in Boston, MA – Berklee College of Music’s own music venue. This was only our second time playing there, but as soon as we walked in we were greeted with hugs from Jackie, the owner, and sandwiches in the green room. Couldn’t believe my eyes. I had a BLT… and then another.
After loading in, we got our acoustic instruments and walked up and down Boylston St and Newbury St playing songs from our new record and promoting the show and… people loved it! We met some fruit stand employees with a good sense of humor, some Parisians for whom we helped flag down a cab, and a college volleyball team from out of town with smiles from ear to ear. We took some video of this and posted it to Youtube.
Then later on we made music. The show was sweeet! We played our set for a room full of excited friends (Thank you Kid:Nap:Kin) and fans and then watched our Brooklyn pals, Apollo Run, do the same… except they had horn players! Fancy! Also, they had their performance broadcasted live on Berklee’s Internet Radio Network. Had I told you this sooner, you could have listened and enjoyed their set along with us… my bad.
So the show was incredible… then we had to drive home. It’s a 4 hour trip that we started around 12:30am. Fuel for the trip: enormous pizza slices and 5 Hour Energy. Smells and tastes like orange soda; that was a surprise. On Jason, our driver on this trip, it totally worked like it should (woohoo), but on Mike it worked like sleeping pills. He was passed out riding shotgun just 5 miles down the road.
