Well, it's been a week since we've been back in Boston. Still not adjusting well, but at least I can't say I'm not keeping busy, that's for sure. To start, we've got that show tonight in Vermont. We're supposed to play for something like three hours (the joke: we're not really prepared for a three hour set). We're going to have a bit of fun with it, though. Bringing along an acoustic, just going to wing it for the first set and have a good time with it.
(The Sox are on the tube tonight as well, I wonder if the game will be on all the way up in Montpelier..?)
Anyway, the next big thing we're working on is our Boston show at Café 939. The place has a nice setup with a projection screen, and initially we wanted to play a show and perhaps use the projection screen for a few songs. It's now looking more and more like a full-blown multimedia production. The whole thing is a little daunting and has progressed from a typical Aloud show with a few extra bells and whistles to a whole project in itself, but we're all insanely excited about this. At any rate, it's a chance to get a little artsy fartsy and do something outside your standard club show. This sort of projection show is something we've always wanted to do, anyway (and between traveling the country and adding a piano to the stage setup this year, we're really ticking these off the old wish list here...).
The show's called "I Just Want To Witness..." (as opposed to Ross' idea of calling it The Witness Projection Program). We're working on it with filmmaker Johnathan Carr on this (who's also working with other filmmakers like Erin Bowser, Timothy Scholl, maybe a few other people..). Good times, good times.
I've been listening to the new Oasis album like mad. It's fantastic, and it's a mostly unrecognizable Oasis (save for Shock of the Lightning, but you need to throw a classic sounding tune in there). Bag It Up, Waiting For The Rapture, and To Be Where There's Life are probably my favorite tunes so far. This list will keep changing until I've ultimately rattled off every single song on the album. But yes, it's worth purchasing (even for the "Oasis has been shit since Be Here Now" crowd.. this album is for you).
That's all I got for now (things seem so much more interesting when you're on the road, even if you're just looking out a window for five hours). Off to get a coffee...
Cheers,
Henry
