Hiding In Plain Sight.

Tonight, Joe and I worked on some changes for 'City Song' which we've played at several shows since last summer.  With so much activity lately preparing songs for recording, this is one we've had a kaleidoscope of ideas rush out of our minds.  It feels like the pieces fit for the most part, yet we'll have to get Dave in here in the next day or two to cement it in place.

The Bleachers next performance: The Bunkhouse, 04/16/09

The information is scant at this time, but we do know this: The Bleachers next live performance will be on Thursday, April 16th, 2009 at The Bunkhouse here in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The only other confirmed act for the evening thus far is Junior Giant, hailing from Utah. More details as they become available to us.

Whole Lotta Love: Neon Reverb 3/14/09 Performance.

It's Saturday, March 14, 2009, the third evening during Las Vegas' Neon Reverb Music Festival.  We had heard a number of bands had been received warmly thus far during the first two evenings of the festival and we were looking forward to performing for everyone at 11p.m at the Beauty Bar during the third slot of the night.

Thankfully, we had arrived early enough to be notified of a last minute line-up change Mr. Woodbridge (the co-founder of the festival) needed our assistance with:  "Would it be possible for you guys (The Bleachers) to perform at 10p.m. instead?  You'd be the opening act."

We mulled it over and decided it would be a great thing.  To open the evening's performances?  It was our pleasure to kick off the music for the night. It was a no-brainer, really.

Everyone hurriedly set up gear, took care of the sound check and within 15 minutes, we were performing our opening song, tentatively titled "When You Lose."

The entire set list is as follows:

01. When You Lose

02. History

03. I Swear, I Swear

04. Apparition

05. Curious Goods

06. Build An Army

07. Duende

08. Infatuation

09. Zodiac

As the set unfolded, the crowd became considerably larger and the rapturous applause after each song brought out an even more ferocious intensity in our music.

We did have several more songs ready to perform that night.  Time, though, was of the essence for the festival and sadly, we had to cut our performance.

 

Regardless, the Neon Reverb show, for us, will go down as one of our favorites.  One of the best, most enthusiastic crowds we've ever had the pleasure of performing for.  Everyone there made it a truly memorable event for us, one we won't soon forget.

Thank you to everyone for coming out and making Neon Reverb a success.  Not only for us, but for Las Vegas, as well.
