Having first performed live more than 10 years ago, I thought I would be immune to the sick to the stomach feeling before a gig.
The crazy thing is that I'm feeling it NOW, a whole 28 hours before soundcheck begins.
Maybe its because I'm finally playing at Baybeats, a music festival I've always wanted to perform at.
Maybe its the ton of interviews our band has done, raising some sort of expectation
Maybe its the metric ton of publicity that the powerful Baybeats team have done, ensuring that quite a few people will be seeing you perform.
Maybe its finally, FINALLY playing with a band of awesome bandmates, totally united in our music vision and aesthetic.
Maybe its the fact that I've received so much love and encouragement from people around me and I do want to give it 200% during the show
Whatever it is, pre-gig jitters are not good for digestion.
Hope I will be able to pull off all the songs perfectly and give a good show tomorrow, even if it means aching muscles and stressed neck joints.
