I’ve got to say, Luna Lounge is the best place we’ve ever played. I think our ability to get booked there on a Friday night is at least partially due to the fact that it’s still a new venue, and they haven’t really built up enough buzz to book that many major touring acts. But the place is huge, clean, and really nice. The stage is gigantic, Mark the sound guy is a class act, and I can’t wait to play there again. The turnout was great despite the snow, so hopefully we can get back there again soon.
The new songs and the old songs both seemed to go over well, and the energy stayed strong all night. I think it helped that the stage gave us enough space to rock out without accidentally impaling each other with our guitars. If the crowd’s reaction was any indication, Phil’s much-anticipated debut surpassed all expectations. Seriously, I think half of Williamsburg heard Phil pounding the drums last night. Jeremy tore it up, Keith sang his heart out, and I even managed to keep my birthday hat on for half a song. Many thanks to everyone who came out and made it such a memorable night.

Dude, you’re the master of the lean-in. I was trying but my spine wasn’t long enough. Also Phil was preparing to throw that drum stick at me.
Really great show. It’s possibly the best I’ve ever heard you guys sound - that and the show at the Fiddler. Love the new drummer. Hi Phil! Didn’t get to meet you but look forward to doing so.
Really liked the new songs and I have a favourite already: Running Down. Love everything about it. The name is perfect for the sound.
Can’t wait for the next show (hint hint)
