"Surviving…" There is someone we both know who always gives that response to the question "Hows it going?" But its always seemed like a pretty depressing answer - is that all there is to be said?!
After a really great first week or so after having graduated, the weekend saw Ned and I feeling a little overwhelmed by it all - the inevitable highs and lows of trying it alone. Over the last couple weeks we'd received praise by a representative from a REALLY great label, had bumped into First Aid Kit, had a lot of people ask for CD's...Suddenly our expectations for things happening shot up. Rather than mere 'surviving' being a threshold for satisfaction, we expected more and were disappointed when nothing utterly spectacular happened.
But looking back, there have been 'bare' (street for 'lots', for those of you not down with the kIdZ...) positives. The main one being the amount of people that appeared unexpectedly at our gig on Saturday! It was amazing to see so many people come, especially given that it is was in a pretty non-central location. In addition to that we've got some new material in the pipeline that we're excited about, and our 'band manager' Emily has helped out lots on the video-front. We also got to see our friend Sophie Jamieson perform, always a treat :)
Jack Black says in School of Rock, "Today's assignment...kick some ass!" Instead, your assignment, dear reader, is to listen to 'Souls to the Coast' by Joyshop...and then thank me :)
