First Live Performance!

So, our band's first official live performance is tomorrow evening. Looks like about 75 people are planning on attending - that's a bigger crowd than I expected... We're mostly ready, though. We sure aren't perfect, but I don't think we're going to get much better without devoting much more time to this. Especially me... I seem to be unable to hit certain notes reliably - it's always the same damn notes that I hit flat. Ah well, perhaps the energy of the performance will make it less noticeable :)

For equipment, I've got my Shure SM75 mic, a POD X3, my crappy-but-I-like-it Epiphone Special II guitar (hey, it was cheap!), and a borrowed Gibson amp (not sure what the model is). Been spending quite a bit of money on equipment, but I hope to be able to continue this as a side hobby for a while longer. Once I get my macbook from work, I'll start messing around with recordings at home, too. After this performance is done, we're talking about getting more serious with the original stuff and moving away from covers. Who knows what style we'll end up with. Personally, I think my voice is much better suited either for a more folky sound or a more bluesy/funky sound. Straight up rock is definitely a stretch for me, but I think I've gotten a little better at it.

But, for tomorrow's performance, here's the set list:

Interstate Love Song by STP
Maybe Tomorrow by Stereophonics
Plush by STP
Sweet Surrender (original instrumental)
Hurt by Nine Inch Nails
Alive by Pearl Jam (acoustic arrangement)
Tears in Rain (original, guitar solo)
Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden
Creep by Radiohead
Say It Ain't So by Weezer

That's a whole lotta Rock Band songs :P
