RE: Northern New Jersey gig spam
Hey Jim. Thanks. I think "clearly hear the
influences" would be a polite understatement - "grotesquely derivative" might be
more accurate. 8^{/}
I think I responed privately to a querry from the other
half of Chinapainting (yo, Daryl!), and being lazy I'll just copy from that
message:
I am still
kinda bewildered by the reception we got from 'Grapes. We played there opening
for some singer/songwriter-type, did 2 sets of improvised mayhem and people
seemed to enjoy it. At least we got more than the obligatory polite applause.
This will be our first time with an entire evening to ourselves and the fact
that they're having us back is encouraging.
I think the bulk of their
booking is more conventional performers (whatever that means - I guess
singer/songwriter or jazz stuff). I'll report back after
Friday.
I'll
respond to the festival thread in a different message. Maybe even change
the subject line to reflect the topic.
m.c.
Mark I just listed to your My Space (Twisted...) samples and like what
you're doing a lot, clearly hear the influences but great aural paintings.
Going to send you a couple of friend requests.
Also does Amazing Grapes do music regularly or is this a private or
trial booking for your. I used to play a lot in NJ (I'm based in Brooklyn)
but have lost trails over there re gigs.
Lastly while at it. Last summer there was some chatter about org'ing
a festival out here. I picked up the ball a bit and then had to let
it ago. It does seem there are enough of us interested in the possibility
and I'd like to try to encourage this again, possibly can assume more forward
motion on this time.
