BRENT'S DIARY

Greetings
and welcome back to diary. Sorry its been a while since I've
updated it, but lot's of things have been going on coupled with
Steve Fry (Soundman and Webmaster) being out of town so much
that it probably couldn't have gotten posted anyway.
First on
the list of new things - Rhythm Method and our friends Cherry
Pie have formed a bit of a rock and roll coalition. If
you've been to either of our shows recently, you may have
noticed the combined schedules featuring the upcoming dates for
both bands laying on the tables and bar tops. With this
alliance it allows both bands to cover more ground with less
promotion effort, plus it gives us a reason to do combined shows
a few times a year! Details on the first one should be
revealed shortly.
In the
world of RM and LU - our Summer festival season is filling up
nicely and appears to be headed much in the same direction as
last Summer - - BUSY! Although we slowed our club
performance schedule down a bit for this year, the Summer will
be crazy as ever with many, many dates.
As far as
gig recapping - we played at Coins in Kenosha about a month
ago. Another great crowd and great time was had by all. In
a rare occurrence, the end of the night brought a stage full of
people which is typically a big "not going to happen"
in our band. A lot of people wonder why - so I will touch
on that. With the amount of equipment we have on stage,
the cost of that equipment, and 6 guys on stage with A LOT of
it, the chance of catastrophe due to a spilled drink, trip over
a cable, etc could be a very expensive "Ooops" - and
one that we feel is too "likely" to happen so we
generally avoid the risk. Sorry!
Last
weekend we made our debut at Bubs in Germantown. A
capacity crowd filled with enthusiasm made it a great way to
break in to a new venue. Thank you to everyone who made
the drive and filled the place up! The staff at Bubs were
exceptional to work with and we're really looking forward to
getting back to that room. Special thanks to Nikki, Gail
and Jen for reminding me that they don't receive nearly enough
mentions in my diary. (Here you go ladies.)
This past
weekend we took Light Up down to Optyx in Racine. A much
better crowd than the numbers Rhythm Method had a few months
back. Unfortunately, this was an "off" night for
us. Not one of our better performances to say the
least. Everyone has them, and it was our turn apparently.
We'll be doing the Light Up show again in March at
Rooters. We promise to kick your ass that night.
Were off
for a month....we'll be returning with some new material, we'll
be much cuter, and Kev will only be performing in ladies panties
from now on. We don't know why, but if it makes Kev comfy, we're
all for it.
