House of Blues, Obituary, A Day to Play
The visit to the House of Blues was amazing. They treated us like royalty and we recommend that any band given a chance to play there should snatch up the opportunity! When we arrived they had staff right there to help us load our equipment into the building, then they showed us to our very own backstage room! We got a fridge full of beer, soda, tea and water! We lounged around on big comfy couches and watched cable tv., and admired the numerous fantastic paintings and pieces of art that adorned the place. We even had our own bathroom complete with a shower!
We were able to wander anywhere in the building, including the gold-painted balconies that encircle the room opposite the stage. When it was our turn to sound check they were meticulous making sure we were completely happy with our sound on stage. After sound check we were welcomed back to our backstage room where they offered us each the choice of a dinner from their delicious Southern style menu. We gladly ate and got on stage to play shortly after. They even gave our merch. person a choice spot to sell our stuff. After we played we got done playing we got a chance to hang out as long as we wanted in our backstage area or anywhere in the building. For the most part, the view from the balcony was the most fantastic and each sectioned off area had cushioned seats, big draped curtains, and candles lighting the rooms. Watching Therion from up there was amazing!
Tonight we get a chance to open for Obituary, Napalm Death and Dead to Fall. It'll be an amazing show getting a chance to play for these amazing bands and we'll be back at the Rave where we feel very much at home. The fans there make every show amazing and the venue works hard to make sure we feel welcome there too!
Finally, this Saturday we'll be playing at A Day To Play at the Do It All Sports Arena in Fond du Lac WI. It's going to be big and we've all worked hard to make this show a success. Especially the people who put it together--the guys from the band Straightline and Jeff from our band. Plus Ria who has been burning compilation CD's day in and day out. There will be tattoo artists, extreme sports teams, paintball, food, beer for 21+. It'll be an amazing show!!! Hope to see you all there :)
