Low, low low...
Do bands go through PMS? I can name a few instances that recur monthly where we start on a high and then progress to irritable and finally to a complete low. This is one of them.
Played DesiVision.tv's Crash Mansion gig to a smallish crowd. Probably had something to do with the wall collapse on the NYC train line. Abe was on the train that was stuck...so we played without a bassist. Tom and I were predicting that this would be a life-deciding moment - venturing out into the city for weekly gigs. It was, but not for the one intended.
Nothing is perfect. Not my singing, not our band politics, not our direction at the moment. But I am trying (with singing), with direction and from engaging in politics. Still, I favor optimism, even in the face of sheer negativity. Some disagree with this stance. So be it.
The DesiVision stint was good for us as we received good feedback, a positive vibe (to counter the flow of internal critiques), and confirmed that we are ready to compete for our place in this business. And we shall, once the current mood lifts.
