Well the Thickets played at the ANZA Club last night and the question on everyone’s lips is, what is with the band lineup? And my answer was “yeah, what is with that?” I learned that Shane called Mario to say that he’s not going to play bass for us after all. So we decided that Merrick needs to step up to plate. He wasn’t in love with the idea but I think he can do it and that it will be good for the band. Also: what choice do we have?
Anyway, we played better than I thought we would have, and Jordan said that he played the best he’s played in years. So if you missed it, you missed it. But you’ll have another chance at the Pit Pub on the 29th. We tried out a new song and it went alright. We saw some old old fans – even a guy who played drums for us in the early 90’s happened by – and we got some new ones I think. CD sales were great and after the show some guy got the band to sign the wings of his Goth Cthulhu doll.
Dang! I SO wish I could have been there! I have never been to Canada. One of these days, when I am a wealthy coffee magnate, I will fund your trip to the States to play here. Hopefully, you will be playing at Dragon*Con one of these years. Can’t wait to hear the new songs!
