Oasis
Wednesday 5 June 2002
Julian and I hit the open stage again tonight - we played “Ruins The Story” and “Threshold Interrupt”, both songs we hadn’t touched in a while. For “Interrupt” we got the house drummer to sit in, which was a first… Both Julian and I played and sang with freakish intensity, spurred on by the loudness. I have no idea if I hit any notes at all, but damn, we had energy, and damn, it was fun.
Plenty of kind words, especially from our host. It was a pretty darn good night all round. The Oasis is definitely my favorite of the open stages we’ve played at. It has lots of great performers, while being unintimidating for newcomers, and the variety of different acts keeps things interesting. Possibly best of all, several instrumentalists are on hand, willing to sit in on a song or two - it’s all very free-flowing and inviting.
I think it’s time to start writing out chord charts so people can play along with us. Yay!
