My newest recent musical venture has been focused on Paul Christianson and his thrown-together-not-offically-a-band Policy. hehe
I saw Paul perform a couple of times with Starting Tuesday and every time it was a real treat and something that I really enjoyed hearing. Well...after one of the aforementioned shows, I decided that I wanted to meet Paul. So, I called out to him as he was walking into the crowd after his set and he came over to the merch table where I was stationed. I introduced myself and he smiled and told me that he'd heard a lot of wonderful things about me.
*deer in the headlights look*
Here I was, so excited to meet him, and he already knew who I was. After this initial shock, I asked him if he could take a moment to get a picture with me and I snagged Jack (the high school kid who organized the hurricane benefit concert) and got a quick pic.
Then he was off into the crowd to watch the show, as Starting Tuesday was up next. I didn't see him anymore that night, but he was really funny during his set and even said that one of the songs that he had written was inspired by William Blake. I was instantly curious and now for the life of me, I can't remember what song it was!! *pouts at self*
Since then, I was lucky enough to get to see Policy perform and it was SUCH a great set! What made it even cooler is that Daniel Goans is on keyboards and for this night, Ken Pittman (bass for ST) played bass for them!! Also, Nick Tosco (of Justincase) played drums for them. So, it was a full band and I was there through the entire process of them getting set up...the sound check...and all of that.
Paul, Justin, and the other guys were really sweet and lo and behold, Scott Cash even made an appearance. It was great! The guys are performing again this Saturday here in Chapel Hill and I am so excited to be going...I can't even tell you!! WOOHOO!!
Anywho...here is the pic of me and Paul and a couple pics of Policy. Enjoy!
