The show last night was a blast! Justin "Juice" Smith is due a big thank you for filling in for us. We also thank Justin in advance for helping us out because he might very well soon become a part of Hard Luck. I'll spare you the details but, we will be trying him out and teaching him the new songs and hopefully, if it all works out, we'll have a second guitar player. We are still short a bass player. I think its safe to say at this point that a bass player for Hard Luck is also in the works. Things are looking up!
Tomorrow is the locals only show. I'm not really sure what I'm expecting out of this. Nothing really. Kevin and I talked alot last night about it and I really don't care at this point what people think about us or about Hard Luck. I really don't mean that in a negative way either. It just seemed to me that after we played last night that many people came up to us to let us know we had a great show and that's the best they've seen us. Which is fine and we are glad when people tell us that. We're happy that we have supporters here. I think what people don't understand is that we've been playing the same set FOREVER!!!! Seriously, since 2006! And with the progress we've been making as a band and musicians, we just get so irritated playing the same old songs. We've come a long way as a band whether anyone realizes it or not. And no one can argue that Atlanta is a fickle ass city with fickle kids. Love you guys but, you're fickle as hell. If a band doesn't fit a certain mold, many people are very quick to not pay any attention to that band (in this case, us). So all I have to say really is this....come out tomorrow. We're playing only new songs. A showcase if you will. I think everyone is in for a big surprise. We've worked so hard on these songs and put our heart and soul and sweat into them. And I think people will either love it or hate it. And that's fine. Because ultimately we do this for us. We're not trying to please anyone except ourselves. We've just come to that point where we realize that not everyone is going to like our band and that's ok. But with that mind set, we've also realized that its very important to us that WE love what we're doing and that WE love the songs we're writing. If people are into it and like us more than before, awesome! If its the exact opposite, that's awesome too! I think what no one will be able to deny tomorrow is how hard we've worked. This time in my life with this band is the most that I've cared about doing a band ever. And I love Kevin and Josiah for doing this with me. There is still more to come. We're not going away. If anything, we're stronger now. Stronger as a band and as individuals. We'll see you Saturday. Bring an open mind with you.
