So, last night was possibly one of the most badass evenings I've ever experienced. Myself, Heoffler, and Sparky played a 2 hour gig at Habenero's Grill. Heoffler was on guitar, Sparky played drums, and I was on Bass. We came together as a band Friday night, and our first gig was Saturday night, less than 24 hours later. Our entire rehearsal consisted of a 2 hour jam session on Friday. We showed up at Habenero's totally devoid of a planned setlist, and when 7:00 rolled around, we just started playing. Heoff would start playing something, Sparky and I would listen for about 6 seconds, and then we would just play. We played for over 2 hours straight. We played like, 5 originals Heoff had written, a shitload of covers, and then to fill in when we couldn't think of something, we'd just pick a style and jam. We finished off the evening with a funk jam akin to a 6 minute raging musical orgasm. When I got home, I couldn't untie my shoes because my fingers were so covered with blisters.
