Tonight was the first time I have ever set foot in Jaxx. I think I know why that is the case; I was easily one of the older people in the room by probably ten years. The bouncers gave us a little static before the show -- I usually bring a bottle of water and a bottle of soda to every show I play. Apparently Jaxx does not allow anyone (even the performing artists) to bring in outside food or beverage. Needless to say, that kind of petty hassling doesn't put me in the best of moods.
We got up on stage late; Quazi played way over their time line. So, management asked all the following bands to cut their set by one song. We got up on stage, did the song check and started to play.
Things went pretty well as we started; there was good energy on stage. Something like the second or third song into the set, all three guitars started to no longer be in tune. I tried to compensate on the fly, shifting my fingering around and retuning by ear, but I could never quite find where either Chris or Nick were. A completely muddy monitor mix didn't help much in that department either.
Still, there was some good energy from the crowd and it seemed like they were having a good time. I enjoyed playing with NGB; hopefully there will be another time.
