Being in a band is a tough tough thing. So many variables go into every decision, every show, every song, every album. Each member has they're own perspective of what's going on or what should be happening and things can get heated and boil over before you know it. We have had our share of ups and downs, nights where the PA decided that it does't want to work, nights where the crowd wants a cover band, lost voices, empty rooms, shitty sound guys, loss of $, etc...BUT There is a light at the end of the tunnel and it's why we started playing music in the first place. At this year's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony RHCP bassist Flea put it beautifully.
"When we are hittin it... When we are really inside the groove... When we're on. I'm lost man. And in that moment I am truly free of everything, and I am truly one with everything."
Could not have said it better. That's it. That is why we do it. To me, music is an unexplainable magic and the cure-all for all the surfacy bullshit that we have a tendency to place so much importance on in life. We are truly grateful to be able to conjure up our own blend of this magic and share it with the world.
