"SFTD was great, I always love seeing them play. The full five-piece was there which is always a pleasure. They had some new songs as well, and all were great and alarmingly well-rehearsed. School also has new shirts for sale, this time in ladies' sizes. I am psyched. The stage banter was particularly funny that night. Also, I do know the "It's so funny, how we don't talk anymore" song, though like Brian and Ken I do not know anything before or after that particular line. What amazes me about Ken is that when he's asked to play a random song, he doesn't simply play the melody, he plays the keyboard part of that song. So for "Holiday," he doesn't play the melody that Madonna sings but the synthesizer part that starts off the song. And he goes right into it without pausing and taking a moment to remember how it goes. Ken is a robot."
And this is from an email from Rick Deville
"Nice show. Fun place, PACE. I want to play there. It was awesome to be able to sink into those comfy cinema chairs and just absorb the two bands. It's a much different experience than a club crowd, where the show is happeing, but it's joined by the wider experience of people in the crowd talking, getting drinks, laughing, shmoozing...etc. At PACE, you sit and really LISTEN.
Which brings me to the point where I say "Hey, Henning, I never really LISTENED to Rock n Roll Camper and Roger and Mary O'Malley and the Invisible Pirates as closely before as I got the chance to on Saturday night."
And then I say "Whoa. Nice." The lyrics made me smile, and SFTD arrangements are always crafted to fit the song. F'rinstance, I LOVE the tremolobrato notes that Tony injects into Camper. You guys have the best punctuation in Rock.
Well done."
