After a recent show at one of our favorite rooms to play – Waxy O’Connors in Foxboro – I was struck that it was high time to recognize that PLAYED OUT is only 50% (at best) of what makes our shows simply the very best entertainment in New England.
Without seas of diehards belting out “Hip Hop Hooray”, “We Want PreNup” and “Hey Teachah, Leave Them Kids Alone”…its just another Boston Wedding Band earning a paycheck and fastracking tinnitus.
I’m especially humbled by the consistency of so many of you…repeatedly showing up for another go ’round. We’re fortunate to be on a first name basis or with ample “Facebook Friend” status with most of you, while equally hyper-aware of the familiar “faces” that keep coming, who we’ve yet to formally “meet”.
And let’s face it guys – you look damn good and you get down something fierce. As for us – we’re simply the geeks onstage that understand the difference between a C Chord and it’s relative minor. We’re like The Goonies only with instruments.
So listen…
We succeed at this thing only with the combined efforts of you all. For this, we’re constantly driven to keep the shows poppin’ fresh, high energy and always a damn good time. If we start slippin, please let us know.
Moving into 2011, we’ll be welcoming a cool new keyboardist and updating our performance to include a ton of new shit for you to slam to.
Have a great holiday season and thanks for everything.
