Catching you up, part 1
Last Wednesday, Mike and I played a 4-song acoustic set as part of Chicago's Finest Hour at The Hideout. I couldn't tell you if it was the finest hour in Chicago or an hour of Chicago's finest, but it was pretty good. Part of the deal is that each band covers one of the other bands' songs, and we had the honor of performing a Puerto Muerto composition, "Chapayev's Machine Gunners". Song's gonna be on their CD that comes out this summer, so when it's finally released people might think they're covering us, har har.
(They did cover us, "Silver Bootstraps", Christa did a kind of a laid-back loungy vocal part. Our cover was more rehearsed but probably no more competent. I got to do Christa's harmony part (me sing like Christa Meyer? No problem!) and for some reason I decided not to sing any of the same words Mike was singing in the lead. We never did ask them, is it "Feed them to the dogs of war" or "Feed them to the dogs and whores"? )
Andy Hopkins (Rudy Day) played a lovely solo set, and Mike Bulington showed up, so he got to view 2 of his 3 bands from the front, for once. Does it drive a drummer crazy to watch three acts perform with no drums among them?
