Rattlebrained

Funny how different concerts can have such different atmospheres…

11 day ago we played in Neuchâtel at the port, with the lake right behind us and the occasional boat blaring its horn. I got there early (17h00) hoping to have more time to get the sound adjusted. We though we were playing on a boat but the place turned out to be a small bar “shack” with a terrace and we had to wait until the tables were moved to give us room so it was past 18h30 by the time we were able to start installing our equipment… The usual rush…

Welllll, it’s unfortunate that the sound is lousy in this video from our last concert…

Saturday we (Crawfish) played what will probably be the only gig we’ve managed to get this fall, which is lame but what can you do when people’s availabilities aren’t what they would need to be to really get things going.
That said, it went ok and I believe that there where even some nice moments. However we are still pretty very uneven in my opinion, jumping from the best to the worst with a tip of the thumb…

Dave came back from his Kiwi escapade last week so I dragged him jet lag and all to the Babylone Bar‘s Thursday evening open stage where we joined up with Blaise and warmed up our chops for a grand audience of 3 or 4 poor souls who had nothing better do do on such a dreary wet night.

What a cool t-shirt! ;-)

Dave seems to have gotten over jet lag and was invited to “sit” in and play a few numbers with Indigo Blues; an Auckland based blues/rock band; playing Chicago/ British influenced music. They also enjoy blending the blues and Jazz with a wide spectrum of ‘good songs’.

I couldn’t find the band’s website so if you know it, post it! – Please – Dave reported the evening as being “Great Fun!”, and is hoping to find other musical venues. He was told that the summer was better, more festivals, but I’m not sure if that means he’s too early or too late…

(Dave’s travels will be categorized under both Crawfish and Messin’ Round for reasons I hope I have no need to explain)

Another thrilling moment from Saturday’s concert!

overblow65 posted this bit of Saturday’s concert where one of Blaise’s (who is on the left) friends joined him for a harmonica jam.
