there's been lots going on lately. first off, apologies to those who came out to the pistol last tuesday, there's a long story about why we couldn't play that involves the pa breaking, the show starting late, people bitching people out about lack of functional equipment, people walking out, people apologizing later, people from new zealand that we like (batrider) that didn't get to hear us play... but i'll save that for some other time, or maybe i'll just forget about it.
i've been playing bass for witch and hare for the last few months. they've been one of my favorite local bands for a few years. they played the last spidermums kc show and they played the first high diving ponies kc show. a few months ago, amy said they were looking for a new bass player, so i offered to learn the bass parts and play shows with them. it's been fun learning their songs, they're in a style i've never played before, and i haven't played bass for a band in a few years.
last sunday, witch and hare played the last show at a house venue called Harrison Fort with Talk Normal, Wet Hair (well, they didn't play because the cops showed up), and there was a short noise set by a new band with matt (the church, spell master), sorry i don't know the name.
about halfway through the witch and hare set, the cops showed up. they were banging on the doors and windows, so we stopped the music, but no one let them in. then a cop opened the window from the front porch and climbed in, completely illegal.
the people that live at the house were being really nice to the cops even though the cops were total dicks. somehow someone got pepper sprayed. so i started getting our equipment out of their house as fast as i could, the pepper spray was making my throat and eyes burn. on the way out, i fell down and almost broke my ankle. interesting evening.
tomorrow i'm playing in two bands at the brick. witch and hare (i'm playing bass) are playing at 10pm, burger kingdom will play at 11, and high diving ponies will play at midnight.
