| Ashcrash's First Live Show...
...with a band, name still TBD. Until this summer, I hadn't been in a "band" since elementary school, and that one didn't really count. I'd previously played a few songs acoustically at open mics and such, but this was my first "real" live show with a band. Nothing flashy, nothing original, just some solid indie tunes for a Halloween weekend show at my campus' coffeehouse. To my dismay, I woke up with a stomach bug this morning (think I ate something nasty yesterday) and had to rest all day just so I'd have whatever energy I could muster for the show. Thankfully, the crowd seemed to like it. I'm not sure I've ever felt this emotionally pleased yet physically drained before. If anyone there took photos/audio/video, I'll upload it here in the coming days. Until then, that's one thing off my bucket list and hopefully just the start of many more to come. List is our set. | 1 | | Modest Mouse The Moon & Antarctica
3rd Planet | 2 | | Jimmy Eat World Clarity
Lucky Denver Mint | 3 | | Radiohead OK Computer
No Surprises | 4 | | Brand New Deja Entendu
The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows | 5 | | Neutral Milk Hotel In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
The Fool / Holland, 1945 | |

10.29.16 | sweet picks my man especially 2 :^) what do you play in the band? | ashcrash9
10.29.16 | lead vox/rhythm guitar
as far as our own songwriting goes, we were (still kinda are) instrumentally-based and math rock-y, so for the first few months, I was just a guitarist. About a month ago, unprompted, my bandmates heard my solo stuff and they were like "ok, we're re-writing parts now because you NEED to do vocals" which was like, super humbling | 24gadjet
10.29.16 | great choices | TalonsOfFire

10.30.16 | oh shit didnt see this nice man. playing live music is amazing | ashcrash9
11.01.16 | kinda figured something like this might happen, but that "recorded the whole set" turned out to be "recorded half the set," and of those 3 songs, only 1 had serviceable quality
but that one happened to be Lucky Denver Mint, which probably makes Futures proud if nothing else
