Shadowplay went off without a hitch since we rehearsed it so much that it was practically second nature. Well, my bass fell off but I caught it and carried on singing while I put the strap back on, but yeah, haha. There were some technical things I wasn't too pleased with. The guitars weren't as loud as I wanted, because we couldn't turn them up due to the venue being ****, so we'd get major feedback. We made the song our own, because the lead guitarist is into all this thrash metal stuff, and the rhythm guitarist is into rock like Pixies and The Velvet Underground etc, so we incorporated those elements while still maintaining the sound of the original.
Next we played Psycho Killer, which went well, except I kinda messed up the harmonies. I normally don't sing on that song, but we decided to try it that night since there were two mics.
Lastly, we played a song we'd wrote, which opened with some spoken word, then kicked into this heavy punk song. Me and the rhythm guitarist and vocalist swapped places because the guy mixing the show did a crap job with the mics, but that meant that it stretched the lead for him verrrry far, and it actually came out during the song. Oh, and the mic fell off the stand so we had technicians trying to put it back on mid-song.
We were the only band to get a crowd reaction that night, so I'd say we impressed. I had people I didn't know telling me how good we were after the gig. I felt so buzzed from it all, haha.
Oh, and for those wondering, I was playing an early nineties Young Chang bass.
Us playing our song. Next show we're playing all our own material.
