thepezident plays a gig
Posted: Fri Mar 26, 2021 10:18 am
As some may know....thepezident is more proficient on the drums than the guitar.
Drums are for cavemen.
Guitars are for musicians.
Anyhooo....My band was fortunate enough to get a gig at a local restaurant.
It's a restaurant at the municipal golf course.
I guess my town operates its own golf course.
Capacity in PA is at 50% and our guitar player's wife reserved a table for 12 cheerleader moms.
The bass player brought 10 people...
PEZ brought no one....
Reservations were fully booked by mid-week.
A great feeling for the band!
We played from 7:30-8:55...
Came back on at 9:15 and played until 10:30.
Manager told us that was it.
There were still about 20-30 people there so I was a little confused why we weren't playing a 3rd set but ok...
Maybe people had stopped drinking?
PA does also have a rule that you need to be eating in order to be drinking...
You can't just sit at a table and drink. And you can't sit at a bar....
Needs to be a table.
Don't ask me.......
The gig went really well.
We were really well received.
People were up out of their seats dancing at their tables in the 2nd set.
A guy came up to me as I was packing up and asked where else he could see us.
I told him to tell the manager to have us back and he said he already did.
It's nice to get that kind of feedback!
Here are links to both sets.
thepezident raps in the 2nd set at the 42:00 mark and then plays
guitar on the song after that. (Take it on the Run)

The place is setting up an outside tent and I've heard we'll be invited back to play outside.
All in all...a great night.
Bass players wife ended up projectile vomitting 4x after the gig...
Thankfully, she made it outside....
Took the manager 3 bucketfulls of hot, sudsy water to wash it away.
