Gig last night was, well, not our best. We kept having some weird technical issues, and just in general it was hard to get the sound dialed in right so everyone could hear everyone. Also, I really think our somewhat more relaxed rehearsal schedule (2x a month, down from weekly) is hurting us, especially if we don't practice on our own time. It's kinda painful when the songwriter forgets the words to the song...

I'm not going to cast too many stones in one sense--I forget many of my bass lines almost as soon as I finish recording them. But I can generally figure them out again.
But ALSO if I'm going to inflict them on people live, I'm going to practice. =)
@venya Between Sufjan Stevens struggling to recall the lyrics to Christmas Unicorn and Eric Whitacre struggling to conduct the time signature changes in Leonardo Dreams of his Flying Machine, I have learned that musicians really don't know their own work. 😂
