Sept 27 @ Millie's







Ahhhh Millie's. Another return engagement here to a really fun party thrown by some great people. The pig roasting starts in the early morning and so does the drinking. By the time we pulled on the scene, everyone was feeling right. Lots of gambling going on and Sean won a JD mug on the coin toss. "You make it, you take it." The threat of rain forced us to set up in the garage, which was no big deal. We put the speakers up in the windows and used a hot condenser to get a nice band mix to pump through. It never did rain much, just a few sprinkles during set breaks. The atmosphere in the garage was epic. Between the wood working, Kenny Schrader flags, mini uzi, and the haulin' ass poster, we were having severe 80's flashbacks. The AC/DC block on the satellite radio during set up also helped put us in the right mood. We couldn't tell you all of what we played during the 3 set, 4 and a half hour show, but some highlights included a first time rendition of a new Sam Cooke song. We also hit some rock classics like Hard to Handle. We wrote a brand new one on the spot: The Candy Game Song, one of my personal favs. On the OG tip, Eek-a-lipse, Love on the Line, Black Beans and Rice, and Drink It Down were all hitting their marks while we did manage one of the worst versions of Chameleon ever. Millie also chimed in again with her version of Kansas City in D. Love it! Looking forward to next year Millie. Thanks!
