MrRain422 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 So I have this gig tonight. Just me, solo acoustic. I've never done this before other than an open mic here and there. Not even really sure how I got this gig. Anyway, if anyone is in Chicago tonight, late, and wants to see me play some music, come on by. Lilly's Bar2515 N. LincolnChicago Cover is $6. I don't go on until 1:00 a.m., but there are bands playing all night. Tell the doorman you're there to see me, Rocky Sigman, as that's how they split up the money from the door.

mountain bed Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I hope everything went well for you man! I'd be interested in your set list - post it up if you want. If I didn't live 3 hours away I totally would have been there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 I played 19 songs -- 16 originals and 3 covers. The covers were "Game of Pricks" by Guided by Voices, "Fear is a Man's Best Friend" by John Cale, and Elvis Costello's "Radio Radio". Not many people there but it was fun and I think it went pretty well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Doing "Game of Pricks" tells me that I would enjoy your show! Unfortunately I don't live close enough to Chicago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MrRain422 Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 I wish I had seen this sooner! I love Lillys. You are in luck, my friend. Got a call from them today and they want me back next Saturday, this time at 9:00 p.m. Come on out if you can make it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 So yeah, open invitation to all VCers. Come see me play some music and hang out on Saturday night. Will probably bump this again some time later in the week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I would love to come and see you this week.I doubt that I'll be able to make it, but maybe we could play together sometime? I do the solo/acoustic thing, too. Do you have a link to your music anywhere (that's not MySpace, which is blocked for me)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They're a bunch of home 8-track recordings, so they sound marginally like they do when I play them solo. Let me know what you think. Perhaps a collaboration is in order.
