First Show Success!

Well, we finally took the plunge into Seattle's live music scene with our first show at the Nectar Lounge. Contrary to previous posts, we decided to ditch Pro Tools as a live sequencer entirely. This meant recreating all of the synth patches from scratch within our synths, a Kurzweil K2000 and M-Audio Venom. This decision was made merely a week before the show, so we had a lot of work to do in a very short period of time. Though the last patch was finished just a few hours before the show, they all turned out great.

We couldn't be more pleased with how the show went. Wiscon and Screens started the night out right with a variety of smooth to abrasive sounds and visual accompaniments. Their energy got us really excited and anxious to play! But the element that really made the night was the audience. From the moment we stepped on stage, we felt the love. This made it super easy to play and have fun all night. We even got an unexpected encore! Here are a few photos from our good friend Andrew Mark Snyder:

Kyle Nielsen, lead vocals, guitar, synth, drum pad.

Matt Nielsen, synth, back-up vocals, drum pad.

And some others from various cell phones and such:

Thanks to everyone who made it out and supported us and to all those who didn't know us but still stuck around and gave us a chance. We greatly appreciate you all.

If you couldn't make it that night, fear not, we are playing the High Dive on January 9th with Goldbar and Steph Macpherson. Hope to see you there!
