A couple things that I bet becky's bassplayer hardly ever does before a gig.
OMF. I'm in a band.
off topic | from inside the mind of krix at August 11, 2004 07:20 PM .omf?? the solutions that come to my mind are not presentable and most certainly wrong! :-)
yes you are in a band and I hope that everything went well...and as far as I can conclude from all what I have read here so far...there is an extremely high probability it did ;-)
hm...I would so much like to be able to hear you playing....but alas...
hope knee is well again and left eyebrow maybe looks extrasexy this way! lovely greetings
Posted by: susan on August 11, 2004 11:58 PMI'm sure you rawked the house tonight! Wish we all could have been there. *smooch*
Posted by: sta-cie on August 12, 2004 12:08 AMDon't you think becky's bassplayer has his own demons to fight before going on stage?
Here's hoping everything went well!
Wow, I didn't realize you had a GIG last night, I thought it was just practicing..*sheesh* I bet it was great!!! I'm keeping all fingers and toes crossed for a vibemerchants gig when I'm out there...! Way to go!
Posted by: Nudel on August 12, 2004 04:35 AMI can't wait to hear how this went! Aside from the minor grooming incidents of course.
Posted by: Zen on August 12, 2004 06:18 AMI'm betting Becky's bassist freaks out over other things and I'm thinking it would be cool for him to wear nail polish to match the bass.
Posted by: JeniLyn on August 12, 2004 06:31 AMI like that matching nail polish to bass idea! Too cool! Hope everything went well!
Posted by: Lisa on August 12, 2004 06:34 AM*winks at Krix*
I have to admit, I was a little nervous for you about that cover myself Krix...it was a little like that same "butterflies" feeling you get when you take off in flight!
As for me, I wouldn’t be caught dead without matching nail color! I would want to look good at least long enough to break a nail while playing LOL! Brittany doesn’t worry about this I’m sure, and it’s probably why she chose to play the drums instead of a "stringed instrument" ;-)
Now we KNOW you are in a band...Vibemerchants Rawk Da Hizzouse!!
*Whispers*...psst...I can’t WAIT for the next gig!
you're not just in a band, you are one of the coolest bassists i know! rock on...
Posted by: lori on August 12, 2004 07:51 AMI second what JeniLyn said, if he wore nailpolish to match his bass I wouldn't throw him out of bed for it, LOL! Hope the gig went well last night krix! I want to see you guys play someday! And hope the knee is feeling better!
Posted by: Jena on August 12, 2004 09:02 AMThanks for all your groovy vibes, you guys. I think last night went OK, from the stage it was not so good but people seemed to like it. Once again, we no monitors to speak of so no hearing the vocals, which really threw everyone off. We did Oblivious first and I didn't completely choke on the solo, but I could have done it better. Then after we finished the song, Dave realized that the bartender hadn't turned the house music off! Gah! All in all we had a lot of fun and everyone was really nice afterward. Wanda was there (*thank you!*), so hopefully she can let us know how is was from the audience POV.
Oh! and look what Roi wore! Hee!
Posted by: krix on August 12, 2004 11:10 AMGiggling at the house music. I so wish I could come hear you guys! Glad everything, for the most part, went okay and you all had fun!
Posted by: Jena on August 12, 2004 01:17 PMroi is cool man! in a hot shirt! yeah.........
Posted by: susan on August 12, 2004 02:29 PMKrix -- you will be great -- I cannot imagine you being anything less -- !!!
Posted by: jude on August 12, 2004 02:38 PMhello!!!!! there!!!!
omg! (wanna have lunch with my mom!!! i don't think so!!! on the other hand... the R&D!!)eyes rolling!!!! anyway!....
krix! VIBERMECHANTS ROCKED LAST NIGHT!!! having said that, the vibemerchants are definately on the list of must see bands in Vegas! last night...cover of oblivious was highly styled the vibemerchant way...I knew it was Becky's song... but love your spin on it and the fact that you opened your set with it!... tough to accomplish with covers(mho)...and your original material is awesome!!!!!! I can't even believe that you have been playing for not even a year!
the show went smooth as silk... roi and i played a round of pool pre-show... really I just pushed those pool balls around with my unchalked cue-stick... but we still had fun! (remember playing pool at BARNEY's BEANERY!!!!!!!!!!)))!!!!OMG!!!!!is that place still there in la!??
any way!!! krix, you may have been nervous, but it did not show! the band looks and sounds way cool... that is one sexy band with a LOT of personality!!!!! you guys HAVE to catch the next vibemerchant show!!!! it is musical history in the making!!!! and i did notice that the room started to fill up when the vm were onstage...plus that super nice bartender dude tried to give me free diet cherry cokes! thanks! he got a nice tip!
b4 your show...hmmmm... i ran a nice hot bath with tea tree bath salts and then i fell asleep for an hour and a half while my not bath took itself down to a warm jacuzzi temprature... oh well... you can always run a bath, but ya can't always see the vibemerchants!!! and i thought i was the only one who overplucked my brows last couple of days! and krix... thanks sooo much for that way cool t shirt - love it!!! from the band that went on just before vibemerchants...
oh yeah.. the nails!...i'm lucky if i have matching nail lengths... let alone polish! speaking of which, have you ever watched that opening scene of the original lolita... it's all about the nail polishing! eyes roll big!!!hahahahaha
and i discovered a new rawfoods cafe not too far from my house where i purchased the long looked for tibetian gogi berry! `
and did i mention that i got my 2005 keanu reeves calander! verryyy cute! i want keanu to do my nails!!!!!
Posted by: wanda on August 12, 2004 08:20 PMMaybe keanu DID wear nail polish to match his bass. Isn't there a picture floating around of him with the polish? Maybe that's what it was for! *wink*
Posted by: Nudel on August 13, 2004 04:56 AMBlack nail polish...
Hey krix! Glad it went well. I really want to come and see y'all rock out. Maybe one day...
Huggles...
