So Cinco de Drinko, er, Mayo has come and gone and I'm sure many of you will be going to work this morning wondering "Why did I have to drink all that tequila?," or as I call it te-kill-ya, head pounding from all the debauchery of a much misunderstood day here in the States. (It's amazing how many people wouldn't be able to tell you, if asked, why Cinco de Mayo is celebrated, but that's a commentary for another day.) I'm here to tell all those folks suffering well-earned hangovers they should have celebrated ahead of time over the weekend, namely this past Saturday night, and the place they should have been was at the Galaxy Theater in Santa Ana.
I know there were many places all over Southern California brimming with early celebrations to choose from, but anyone who didn't find their way to the Galaxy missed out on an oustandingly great time. True, promotion for the event wasn't so great which means unfortunately quite a few of you out there may not have known, and that's ok. It started unfairly slow and quite empty when the doors opened. I'm sad to say that our homies from the Bad Luck Bandits didn't have a large audience to play to, and that sucks because they are a talented group of guys. I'm just glad that didn't stop them from having a good time.
As the night went on the time came for a little LBS action, and we got the opportunity to play a long set for the evening, which has been absent from our performances as of late. I tell you it makes all the difference in the world to not feel so rushed and pressed for time and actually being able to play a better chunk of our music library. The crowd could definitely feel the energy and the groove and we fed off of their enthusiasm. We played a few songs we hadn't done live for some time, like Solo, Matador and The Funk Song, even got some crowd participation (thanks again for the dance, ladies). So here's a few action shots for you to enjoy:
And let's not forget the sandwich!
So as you can see, we had a blast and hopefully those of you who made it out to the show had just as much fun. Just remember, though, there are plenty shows in the very near future so come on out and have a good time with us! And more sammiches, please!! Ha ha ha! Ok, just kidding. Go check out the MySpace page for the most updated list of shows. The next one is this coming Sunday, May 10th, so don't miss out!! Peace out, kids!
