Just saw Sleepy Sun @ the City Tavern, which by the way is a great venue, hidden away in the skyscrapers down town. This was real dirty, sexy, jamming rock music. Great singers, and amazing guitarists. And the drummer, man the drums drove the songs. The male lead singer was getting a beer next to me after the awesome set, and told me that I was making him nervous….. I’ve always wondered about how bands perceive the crowd. If I were to play in a band today, I’d be so nervous and focused on what I was doing to make sure I was not making a mistake, I probably would’ve tuned the audience out. But for musicians who play for a living, there probably is still some level of self consciousness, but I think they probably notice the audience more than they seem to. I wonder if playing the same songs the 100th time to them would be like driving on the road home for me…I’m no longer worried about directions, instead I notice the traffic, or the lady putting lipstick in the car behind me, or the loud bass coming from the SUV to my left….I wonder if that’s what the audience are like to bands….I also wonder what it is that I did to make him nervous…..
I got their setlist after the show but forgot to ask the girl in the band to expand the names of the songs, which half of were written in short hand, and are not on the album.
This is the best I can decipher:
Sleepy Son
White Dove
Dez G.
Wild M.
Open Eyes
Marina
New Age
Sandstorm Woman
Snow G.
