Didn't screw up too badly Thursday night (I may or may not have forgotten a line or two in Clampdown, but other than that it went pretty well). Surprisingly, there were no cover overlaps.

For those who were wondering, the covers we chose were:

Strawberry Fields Forever (The Beatles)
New Year's Day (U2)
Morning Glory (Oasis)
Bittersweet Symphony (The Verve)
Intervention (Arcade Fire)
Clampdown (The Clash)

We had a fun time doing Intervention and Bittersweet Symphony. Nico from Televandals and Wendy (who did strings on all our records and is currently in Common Thrill) joined us onstage and did a fantastic job. Motion Sick and Thick As Thieves were amazing, too. Motion Sick covered Tom Petty's "Listen To Her Heart" (a staple of Aloud's late-night driving marathons), and Thick As Thieves did Oasis' "Go Let It Out" (yet another late-night driving staple). I like those guys. I'd really like to play more shows with them in the future.

Off to Great Barrington, Massachusetts today. Let's see what adventure Bard College at Simon's Rock has in store for Aloud...
