We decided to head out to Teaks tonight for Future Band and Los Guys. It was a hard decision, since we needed to be back in Tempe for Strange Young Things at 12:30. Though, once we got there, we were really glad that we did make the trip out there, even though we missed Future Band, and had to wait a while for Los Guys to start. A couple of cool rarities were thrown into the set, like Hotel Defeated. And when Mark was looking for requests, I was able to get Tequila and Marijuana in there. Damn it that's an awesome song!

It was amusing to me when Andrew said his goodbyes at midnight, headed for Yucca. Pre-empting exactly what we were going to do 10 minutes later. [smile] Much like the last time we did this (Teakwoods, and then Strange Young Things @ Yucca) we timed it perfectly! The show rocked, and I think as a result tonight, my assessment has gone from "my favorite young local band" to "my favorite band, period". Let's be honest, it's true. Fuck corporate rock bands. Something else confirmed tonight was how much I love the new tunes, to the point that I'd actually rather hear the new ones over the old ones.

For the third time in the row, I was left feeling like it was the best gig to date. As always, loved watching Dan the mad man behind the kit, and tonight Pat's guitar tone was dialed in perfectly! It was just a great set. And it was cool when the guy from Banana Gun jumped up for Suitcase. Virtually so that Corey could run out for a smoke. But it was pretty rock n' roll. The only downside of the whole night was that the sound guy turned off the mic when Andrew jumped up on stage for American Girl. Not sure what the deal with that sound guy is, but for us, that's at least he's third strike.

Towards the end, we had a repeat of the last Yucca show - Corey jumping off stage, zeroing in on Katie to hold the mic and everyone sitting on Yucca's floor. Which can only mean one thing - The Bitch Has Got Problems. We'd been singing that damn song all day [smile], and of course, after this, we were singing it again hours later.

All in all, ridiculous fun with the coolest fucking rock n' roll band there is.
