Our legacy of opening for international bands continues. First we played with a band from Japan, then a few months later Canada and tonight we opened for a band from Australia. I guess it’s our smooth continental sound. Eddie Would Go was the Australian band in question and they totally made it a fun evening. They were funny, their songs were catchy, and they were just plain old cool to hang out with. We wish them the best of luck on the rest of their tour. Our set went down pretty well too. The doggfather said it was “amazing.” I wouldn’t go that far, but if Nate likes it then it had to been OK. One really cool thing that kind of surprised me was that we got an encore. Everyone wanted to hear us play ‘Radio.’ That means people have actually been listening to our CD, and better yet they actually knew it well enough to realize it was about hanging out at EJ’s. It was a pretty cool feeling to know that people pay attention to what you are doing.
