This was a gig we were looking forward to playing. The Mint has a long history of really famous people playing there - the likes of Ben Harper, The Wallflowers, Bonnie Raitt, etc. etc. etc. a lot of people still play it and its considered one of LA's good best night clubs. I had never actually been in to the Mint but from the website - it looked really clean. As well Eric was going to rejoin us for this gig.
Well... it wasn't a great gig. in fact, it will probably end up to be one of - if not - the worst shows on this tour. the sound man was text messaging through our performance. as well we didnt get on and playing til about 11:30 and half the place was talking loudly through the entire set. the venue was really dirty as well. Unless i get into the hotel cafe next time through - it may be a while before i play Los Angeles again. its a hard city.
for lodging this week, half of us stayed at Max's and the other half at Eric's which proved to be very hard on us. i look forward to getting on the road - in the next 17 days we have 15 gigs. its nice to be busy and productive.
We listened back to the recording and we sound better than we originally thought - though the effects of not being able to hear my own vocals onstage are evident.
