We played back to back Fri. & Sat. shows at Club 90. It's always our favorite place because there's always a good turn out, and it's exhilarating to see people dancing to the music you're playing. We worked on making our transition flow better, and to playing songs right into each other. Also, this was our first time playing this much with Dean, which helped us groove with better.
Friday was great. The highlight for me was Mark's funny leather shirt.
Saturday was remarkable, if we were playing the game Guitar Hero, we were using star power pretty much the whole night. A lot of our friends and family showed up. Nate was in town and he let loose. He danced the whole night, and helped us sing the last song. April was there as well, Mark's ex-band mate and ex-wife, she rocked the house by playing keys for two sets and singing backup vocals. Rachelle, the venue owner sang with us for a song as well. It was a night of good vibes, silliness, and good music. When I thought that we have a million good shots at Club 90, and we wouldn't need any more, these were taken by Aaron's mom Kirsten and are absolutely great!
Be sure to catch us at Club 90 April 20, and 21!

We had a great weekend, playing at Club 90, Friday and Saturday. We were excited to play some new tunes from our 80's setlist. Aaron's baby was due on April 28th, and we were worried that he's have to rush to the hospital mid-show, so we had Curtis, a session drummer learn all the songs and be our backup. Fortunately, Aaron was a became a proud dad a week early, and he was able to perform.
Friday, was the night of the Jazz playoff game against the Clippers, The Jazz were up 3-2, and almost won the game. The venue was a little bit empty, and a lot of the patrons were busy watching the game, opposed to hitting the dance floor. While there were no special events on Saturday, the place was packed with happy dancing people. It was a blast.
We had some great pictures as always, thanks to Aaron's mom, our dedicated and talented photographer.
Saturday night was our 30th show together, and our 14th show with Mark. It's exciting to see how far our band has come, and all to see where we're going. We have a jam packed summer to be excited for, the long anticipated album release, music video creations, and lots of shows. Our next show is at Cliff House, and we'd love to see you there!
Good luck to the Jazz tonight.
We're pleased to announce that the owner of Club 90 liked our band, and we're going to be part of the rotation, playing a consecutive Friday and Saturday, every five weeks. (That means I get to eat their delcious burgers every 5 weeks! Yum!)
This is exciting, because a lot of bands audition, but few get chosen to play regularly. .
The owner said that we'll be a good fit there because, we have a good set list of cover songs, Allison has an amazing voice, the instruments sound really good, we have high energy, and because we are still young and attractive.
We're excited to playing here because it will give us an opportunity to build our following, develop our stage presence with large crowds, expand the number of covers we do, and to have fun.
Our next performance at Club 90, will be March 4, as part of the Utah Music Festival. We will be playing with Jana and the Rebels, a local sensation. We'd love to see you there! Details below: https://www.facebook.com/events/1247530572021799/
We had a great show at Ice Haus this weekend. A new local band, The Harvest was playing an hour
of their original content, and the Ice Haus contacted us and asked us to play after The Harvest.
The Harvest is a two man band, and they take turns drumming, playing guitar, and singing. It takes serious guts to perform with only two people. All of the stuff that I write, I try to fill it all up with as many instruments as I can, while these guys were minimalists and were still able to convey their music in an excellent way. You can hear your stuff below.
This time we had a sound guy, and he was an expert. It was nice to have monitors, and level sounds. While the place wasn't packed, there was an awesome energy with the people that we brought and some of the new unfamiliar faces. The crowd was very responsive by cheering after every song, and singing and clapping along. We were able to feed into that energy. We danced like we've never danced, and Nate went to the front of the stage during his solos and played like an 80's shredder.
The audience were very generous by leaving tips on the stage. We almost made more money in tips than the money we made at the door. We were very humbled by such an awesome audience! We also had many people shake our hand afterward, and take our business cards.
Friday was great. The highlight for me was Mark's funny leather shirt.
