SOUNDCHECK:
The concept of the event “spontaneous performance” and open mic, so please kindly understand we can not organized a sound check and rehearsal in the venue before the show. But a maximun 10 minutes gap between each bands is plan to let your enough time to set up your instrument on the stage.

Thanks a lot for your participation,
Best Regards

I received this email a few days ago. I’ll be playing for the french world music festival at the la bodega stage. It’s a free gig, and there’s gonna be loads of other acts. I’ll be playing a 30 minute set, so if you haven’t seen me before, here’s your chance for the full 2sh experience! (hahaha)

Oh and last night was the first time I got recognized in public. I was in a club looking for my friends when suddenly this guy starts staring at me as if he knew me. When I got closer he approached me and said something like ‘Hey! I’ve seen you before!’.
I was like ‘You have?’.
‘You played at urban attic the other night right? I was there supporting my friends- theory of change. You sang the friendster song! Great stuff man!’
I got a pat on the back or something, and we parted. That was a funny, weird moment. haha
