Lights Out Club Vegas!

On Saturday night we performed at Club Vegas in SLC. It was kind of funny to me that the touring band that we were opening for was called "Lights Out Vegas" and we were all playing at "Club Vegas"

It was a really good and high energy show, for the first time here in the Wasatch Front, we had DJ Richard Mixin with us to help thicken up the music. It went over really well, especially because Richard uses his turn tables like an instrument instead of just scratching over everything like most DJ's do. He even did some back up vocals on one of our songs.. it turned out really good.

A funny story about this show, was right as we were finishing up the sound check, Richard asked if he would have time to go to the bathroom. I said "NO, we are playing right now!" and he said well I really gotta go so I said well then hurry.. while he was gone we started playing the first song which he does some scratching on.. So he came running from the bathroom and came running up the stairs from backstage. He decided to cut the corner and jump on the stage but didn't see a big light that was hanging there. He jumped up right into the light and smashed his head.. A couple of our friends saw it happen and had a good laugh. The next day one of my friends came over to my house with his video camera and told me that he had recorded the whole show! We started watching the video and unfortunately the loud sound in the club was just too much for the little video camera, so it sounded terrible. But the good news is that there was a perfect view of Richard smashing his head on stage..

Anyway, the other opening bands were really good. before us was a metal band called "The Departed" and after us was a pretty diverse band called "Autumn Eclipse" I stuck around to watch the touring band "Lights Out Vegas" and I really enjoyed their show. There was one more local band in the mix that played after Lights Out Vegas called "Corvid" but they were really emo looking and they stayed outside on the patio for the rest of the bands so I wasn't so concerned with supporting them. They really acted like they were the real rockstars of the show, it would have been interesting to see if they lived up to their attitude!
