Fun times at The Laughing Goat last night! We went in having played the Goat once before, but never really knowing what to expect trying to squeeze our 7-piece band onto a stage better suited for 3. We had a nice write-up in the Boulder Weekly, and we had a few surprise visits from folks who hadn’t seen us before, who made the trip to the Goat. Solo artist Eugene Christopher kicked things off setting the mood with soulful vocals over a lone acoustic guitar. Then we quickly sardined ourselves onto the stage. Throughout the night Phil’s bass guitar rapped my head and Kyle’s ass was in my shoulder blades. Few people could see me but if they had they would have seen a mile-wide grin across my face. For all the activities the band does as a group, from writing to recording to traveling to just hanging out, there’s nothing better for the soul than actually playing music together. I don’t care where – in the basement or in a field or on a stage – but I have to say The Laughing Goat is way up there for fun places to play.
