doors at 9 on the 22nd of april in The Annesley.

Quick note:

By the third verse of "San Diego" you have to break up the melody a bit, at the risk of sounding repetitive. You could also try a breakdown or something (I'm not an arranger, so you might have to interpret what I'm saying). By the way, the reference is more America than Blind Melon for me.

Cracking intro on "I Can't Wait" (vocals ain't bad either, but go easy on the David Jones warble - it has sunk more than one singer).

cheers for the tips. we apreciate them. You're right about San Diego being repetitive. Try singing it at gigs for 6 or 7 months. i'm sort of proud of that song not because of the music but more because of the response i get from people upon hearing it first. I personally didnt want it included in our set because i didnt feel we'd be able to do too much with it as a band but it has proved quite popular live and on the web.
Whats this "i cant wait" song? is this one of ours?

At the moment we are eager to move on and are working on some new stuff which is very different to San diego or "Misfits Gallery".

Cant wait to start doing gigs again!!!

thanks

If it's that popular it definitely is worth the extra time on arrangement.

Yegads, is this embrassing or what? I was listening to so much music from the boards that "I Can't Wait" is actually from God's Dice. Sorry about that.

gracehopper · 28-06-2006 12:55pm

Our gig is cancelled on Saturday night in Slattery's. We had a bad experience with a promoter. Slattery's as a venue is cool and so are the owners and sound engineers. We've always played a good gig in there. So the problem was with who booked the venue for us and not the venue itself.

gracehopper · 12-07-2006 4:34pm

Gracehopper gigs:
The annesley house, North strand
Saturday july 21st, €6 in, Get there early ( support from Brilliant 3 piece the Racket)

The Barretstown bike run
Saturday August 26th, Galway
http://www.barretstown.org/content.asp?ContentId=848

We'll also have new studio stuff up on the web shortly and we're going to throw a few live mp3's up that will put a big smiile on you're face and a torch in you're trousers!!!

Peace out. Daithi
