First weekend of shows

Friday July 27 - first show!
at Mojo Main in Newark, DE
as part of Tric Town series of events
order: Galaxy 13, Nearest/Twax (Casey's solo project), Controlled Bleeding, Tithonus

Good crowd. Official EP release party for us. And the first show ever. I was so nervous. But it went well.
Was also a CD release party for Galaxy 13.

Saturday July 28
Boneyard in Atlantic City, NJ
order: Controlled Bleeding, Tithonus

Was supposed to be a house show but got moved to be a pre-show in front of a CD release show for a band called the Mah Lors (bill also featured Position 9 and SensaMotionBand, but really they were two separate shows so they are not listed above).
Place was empty and we were hungry so we went out for food with the Controlled Bleeding guys. We were all late coming back and we still encouraged Controlled Bleeding to play their full set, so we got told we could play 10-15 minutes. And honestly, that was even pushing it, our show organizer was going out on a limb and delaying the later show. So we only played "Dawn" and the new song.
There were actually a decent number of people out for the later show, but it's pretty common for folks not to give a chance to any sort of pre-show that's not actually on the bill of the show you're going to. But a few people saw us.

Sunday July 29
North Star Bar in Philadelphia, PA
order: Lonesummer, Depths, Tithonus, Controlled Bleeding

I really liked this venue. Cover was $10, which was too high, but great stage, and they had a balcony. Great sound too, the sound man did a good job. Musically it was the best Tithonus played all weekend.
And there was virtually nobody there. Collectively the bands may have actually guest listed more people than people who paid at the door (note: it's not about the money [cause even if it was, not much of that $10 would have made its way to us]. It's about playing for new people! And about wanting the awesome energy of playing to a crowd).
But hey, it was fun to play a neat place. Fun to get more live venue experience. Our connection with Controlled Bleeding is pretty good, we all got along well. And I think we might have a new connection with Depths, we all dug each other's sound pretty good, and they apparently do some booking in New York.
