November 13, 2004: Hammerheads,
Evansville, IN
It seems like there were lots of funny stories that tied into this show.
Well, first of all, Lisa (Joey's wife at the
time), for some reason or another, decided or was invited or decided once being invited to come
along on our first show in the uhh...great?...uhhh...sure...the great
state of Indiana! Having a female (especially Lisa) in the van
all the way there and back
made for some very interesting conversation; which seemed to lighten Sam's
mood quite a bit. I don't really remember much of what we talked about...but it
seems like the topic of blow jobs came up...uhhh....anyway...
These, as you may recall,
were the 'glory days' of myspace. And as a perfect example of how cool it was back
then, I invited a girl I
found (browsing the
Evansville crowd) to the
show. Well, as it turns
out, she ended up being our
bartender! When I got to the venue, she
was like, "I met you on myspace and I was like 'Mutherfucker! I'm gonna be your bartender!'" Needless to say, I found it
quite endearing that this girl I never met would refer to me as 'mutherfucker'. She was kinda cute too.
But, alas...
Seeing as how half of the band lived in St. Louis and half in Greenville, the only time we got to
spend with one another was
either at practice or at a show (and before and after, of course). So, before the show, we stopped by a restaurant next door and talked for a while. I don't think Paul was
there, but Lisa was.
I vividly remember talking (and eating quesadillas)
about what we wanted our
next album to sound like. Joey was convinced that we needed to
get a pizza cutter sound in
there somewhere...because the pizza cutters at Mario's Pizza sound awesome, apparently. Sam and I, being the
noise freaks that we were, felt it needed to be noisy.
We came to the conclusion that it should be kind of cluttered. How
did we do?
Anyway, we played the show and kicked ass. The
October played
too.
