Just got home from our first performance in Brooklyn at Goodbye Blue Monday. (it's currently 3:50am).
It was in Williamsburg, which is a really cool/active part of Brooklyn.
Once again, it started off really weird and awkward. The dude who owned the venue was extremely rude at first and rushing us to perform. It was clear that he wasn't taking us seriously.
But we did our thing.
Smoke Screen performed first and when they finished up their set, the owner came up like "wow, okay so you guys were actually really good. If you want to do another short set in a little bit after Urbindex performs, that would be cool"
Then I was up to perform.
It went very well. Its really interesting getting a feel for what songs get certain responses in different settings. Catering set lists based on the circumstances has been difficult simply because it's tough to find time while we're on the road.
But overall my performance got a great response and I actually did an encore song after Smoke Screen's second set. It was fun.
Tomorrow (well... technically today given the fact that its almost 4am) we're heading to Philadelphia for our performance at Danger Danger. Keeping it moving.
This experience has been so crazy, really surreal. It's the type of thing that you can read about or even see videos of but unless you actually experience it, you have no idea what it's like. Still having a blast. Still have no idea what day it is. Still sort of delirious.
be safe driving. make sure you get some sleep, man. Living the dream!!!
